Baby's Deserve the Best On Their Skin!!
I am attending my second baby shower in two weeks and feel lucky that I can take a gift of baby care products that are healthy for the baby!
Most common baby products that have been around forever contain two main ingredients "mineral oil" and "fragrance". These two ingredients offer absolutely no benefit and are two items that are major causes of allergic reactions. You could actually buy a gallon of mineral oil and add your own fragrance for less than $5 - so you are paying for packaging, advertising, distribution etc.
Babies have the most sensitive of skin and parents should be concerned about what they are putting on their babies. We are so marketed to and don't pay attention or study our labels and what the ingredients mean.
Ingredients such as shea butter and botanicals actually are GOOD for our babies. We would be very concerned about what we feed the baby, well let me tell you the skin absorbs what is put on it very quickly and toxins will travel throughout the body in a matter of seconds. The only good news is that mineral oil acts as a barrier and therefore won't penetrate. It actually can dehydrate the skin.
Remember those good ol days of sunning with baby oil and iodine? Remember how greasy you were?
I always recommend and give ABC baby care from Arbonne. The very best!
