Why Use Natural Body Products and Skin Care for Mother and Baby?

There are thousands of chemicals approved by the FDA that are commonly used in skin care products, including those made for babies and children. The long term effects of most of these are unknown and even worse, some of these chemicals have been linked to severe medical conditions, including cancer. This is one good reason to use natural body and skin care products for your baby.

Children are not just small versions of adults. Children - especially babies - are growing and developing rapidly and there is no complete research as to what effect some of these chemicals can have on that development. Babies and children are also much more susceptible to toxins and pollutants of all sorts, because pound for pound, children are exposed to higher levels of environmental toxins than adults. Compared to their body weight, children eat more foods, drink more fluids, breath more air, and have more surface skin. This causes them to have a higher exposure to chemicals and pollutants in the air, in their food, and in their baby skin care products.

Large commercial brands of baby skin care products use large amounts of preservatives. These skin care products need a long shelf life to be stocked at large chain stores. They are also manufactured and mass-produced by machine. Large commercial brands of baby body care products often contain petroleum products. Examples of these are petroleum jelly, paraffin, paraffin wax, and mineral oil. These ingredients are common in many lotions, creams, lip balms and baby oils. They are harsh to your baby's delicate skin and can also be a contributing factor in skin irritations. You will not find any of these petroleum based ingredients in any of the natural baby skin care products offered on Babynut.

But do natural baby body products work? Natural baby body products work even better than large commercial brand baby care products. Babynut offers three different mother and baby skin and body care lines to preserve healthy skin and hair and to soothe and cure diaper rashes and skin problems should they occur.

Burt’s Bees scours the good earth to find the most natural, effective ingredients to put in their products. To Burt’s Bees, the word “natural” means only one thing. It means, “harvested from nature.” Their products contain only gentle, natural preservatives that both inhibit the growth of microorganisms and enhance product stability. Burt’s Bees would never conduct product or ingredient tests of any kind on animals. A few of our products contain ingredients derived from animals such as beeswax, royal jelly and milk. And for that, they thank them.
