Silkeny Soft Body Scrub
Babies are a blessing on Earth, so let’s honour them (and their butts), with only the best!
With so many products on the market, great advertising, and contrasting opinions, choosing the right oil or cream for your baby, can be a difficult decision! A good thing to kind in mind while purchasing body care products, is to remember that our skin is our largest organ, and that we absorb and “drink in” everything we put on it. Though some products on the market may contain “promising ingredients,” they may unfortunately also include a cocktail of petrol-chemicals, parabens and harmful synthetic fragrances.
As a family run business, we take pride in recommending our most prized natural product for all skin care needs – simply, organic virgin coconut oil. Coconut oil is a great essential fatty acid source, which helps to protect and keep the skin soft and supple. As an ancient food and medicine, coconut oil has been used all over the world, to help treat various skin care diseases, such as eczema and psoriasis. It is as simple and beautiful as a skin care product can get, as literally contains only one ingredient!
Though coconut allergies are extremely rare in occurrence, we always recommend practicing mindfulness, and seeking medical advice for any concerns or questions involving your health. We also want to bring attention to the fact that not all coconut oils are made the same; therefore we only recommend using organic virgin coconut oil for the body.
We are excited to share this list of the top 11 ways to use coconut oil with your baby. We hope that you feel inspired to adopt this beloved product into you and your baby’s long term skin care regime.
