California Baby


As a green mama, it is important that anything I put on baby's skin is made of natural ingredients. There are too many products that have been deemed safe one year, only to be recalled in the future as more research is done. While natural products have been known to cause problems, I feel much more secure using essential oils and herbs to treat my families health needs before reaching for "drugs." I also strongly believe that an ounce of prevention can go a long way! That said I have been searching for effective, natural baby products. I found exactly what I was looking for and more!
I love California Baby products. I cannot say enough about them. I discovered Cal Baby products when my baby was about a month old. At the time, he did not experience any maladies, but several moms told me what was coming. Having sensitive, allergy prone skin, I began searching for anything that would combat the cradle cap, diaper rash, thrush, and heat rash that would soon crop up. Having heard of the wonders of tea tree oil, I have always wanted to try it out. I purchased the California Baby Tea Tree and Lavender Baby wash and the Calendula cream. The company I purchased these from was running a promo and sent me the calming cream as a free gift.
The baby wash has done far more than I ever expected. My son has been rash free since we began using it. We have started using a tsp of the wash to make a cloth wipe solution. I use the wash as a face scrub and have noticed an improvement in the condition of my skin! The calendula cream is a great natural first aid cream. We use it on baby's bottom if he has minor irritation (this happens if he poops at night) and by the next diaper change he is good as new. It also works well on minor cuts and scrapes. Plus in a moment of desperation we discovered that it does ease hemorrhoids. The calming cream makes a great lotion for after bath. We put it on baby right before bed. We have been so pleased, that we have since gone through three bottles of baby wash and 1 bottle of calming cream.
If you are able to, check out these skin care products. I have found California Baby products in both of the major grocery chains near our home. They are also available online. Or check out there site! You won't be disappointed.
