Natural Products for Baby


Making your own spa and personal care products for your baby is not only incredibly simple, but it’s very cost effective and it is an all natural alternative to the commercially available baby care products that are anything but natural.

Most commercially available baby care products, even the high end “spa products” from baby wipes to baby wash contain an ingredient called propylene glycol; propylene glycol (or PG) is the main ingredient in many products, from household cleaning chemicals to anti-freeze for your car! That doesn’t sound like a product that should touch a baby’s delicate skin at all, but all natural and organic products are often too expensive for today’s budget conscious parents.

One of the most commonly used herbs in children’s spa products is calendula. Calendula is a bright sunny flower that is renowned for its gentle, soothing effects on the skin. An infused oil of calendula and chamomile is a great basic natural product for your baby, it can be used as is or, with a few extra herbs and essential oils a custom blend can be created for diaper rash, eczema, chicken pox, cradle cap, or contact dermatitis. It is also great massage oil for babies as well.

Another great spa product for your baby is an all natural baby powder, that with the addition of a few additional herbs and essential oils, can be adapted for any number of skin conditions, from diaper rashes to heat rashes.

And who could forget about an herbal bath blend for baby. For a soothing and relaxing blend for babies a combination of herbs including calendula, chamomile, lavender, and roses is a great way to help your baby get ready for bed at night. This is also a great way to help ease the discomfort of colic.

If you or a friend has children or is expecting it is a very rewarding experience to make your very own spa products for your baby, you will be glad you did!
