Product Information

You might have seen all sorts of claims on social media and the internet when it comes to looking after your baby, including what's best to put on their skin.

Helps provide desired consistency and supports optimal application experience. Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil This ingredient works with other ingredients to moisturize baby's skin. Naturally derived from palm oil. The main concernwith nanoparticles is that they are so tiny that they are absorbedinto the skin more than we want them (ideally sunscreen should remain on the surface of the skin). Once absorbed they might form unwanted complexes with proteins and they might promote the formation of evil free radicals. But do not panic, these are concerns under investigation. A 2009 review article about the safety of nanoparticles summarizes this, "to date, in-vivo and in-vitro studies have not demonstrated percutaneous penetration of nanosized particles in titanium dioxide and zinc oxide sunscreens". The English translation is, so far it looks like sunscreenswith nanoparticlesdo stay on the surface of the skin where they should be. As for hair care, coconut oil has pretty solid research showing that it can penetrate into the hair very well (better than mineral oil and sunflower oil) and it can prevent hair protein loss as well as combing damage. If you have problems with damaged hair, split ends, coconut oil is worth trying as a pre- or/and post-wash treatment. Labmuffin has an awesome blogpost explaining in more detail why coconut oil is good for your hair.

Sodium Hydroxide It’s always good to have your baby’s skin assessed by a competent healthcare provider if there is a concern that does not resolve on its own,” Solomonian says. “Persistent dryness, redness, itching, or a visible rash should be assessed by your baby’s doctor to determine the next best steps.” What skin care ingredients should I stay away from?

The disadvantage of Titanium Dioxide is that it's not cosmetically elegant, meaning it's a white, "unspreadable" mess. Sunscreens containing Titanium Dioxideare often hard to spread on the skin and they leave a disturbing whitishtint. The cosmetic industry is, of course, really trying to solve this problemand the best solution so far is using nanoparticles. The itsy-bitsy Nano-sized particles improveboth spreadability and reduce the whitish tint a lot, but unfortunately, it also introduces new health concerns. Typically, these products are claimed to be hypoallergenic and 'formulated to minimise the risk of allergies', as well as free of known fragrance allergens.Don’t worry too much about these changes, unless your baby seems uncomfortable.
