Although organic products are safer than other brands, there is still some concern. Within minutes, 60% of what you put on your baby’s skin is absorbed into the body. So you want to be absolutely sure that whatever you use on their skin is safe and non-toxic. Here are a couple food-based skin care products:
- Olive oil and sunflower oil which will soften the skin and acts as an antioxidant protecting the body from free radicals. Apply directly to the skin or use as a bath oil.
- Sweet almond oil and coconut oil are also great moisturizers. They are used as a base ingredient for many soaps and lotions. Sweet almond oil in specific moisturizes the skin, soothes sunburns and heals dry itchy skin.
- Avocado oil is found in many baby hair products and has been proven to provide more sun protection than other food-based ingredients.
