Babies
Welcome to your new little bundle of joy. Amongst all the joy of this precious little life that you have been entrusted with, can come some anxieties. You want everything to be perfect and want to make sure that everything that comes into contact with your baby is non-toxic, not just for your baby, but also for the environment. It is a new age and we are all very conscious that taking care of our children, means giving them a safe and healthy world to live in.
At Botáni we have taken all this is to consideration and our products
meet the highest possible standards. They are safe for your baby's delicate
skin and safe for the environment.
The outermost covering of the newborn's skin is the first protective layer against exterior aggressions. It is far more vulnerable and delicate than adult skin as babies have a thinner protective layer comprised of sweat and sebum. Its main function is to protect babies' skin from bacteria and help maintain skin moisturisation and softness.
A Baby' skin is more acidic than adult skin to protect against exposure to bacteria. Newborn skin tends to dehydrate and is quite permeable, allowing for the absorption of topically applied, synthetic ingredients which can be quite harmful to baby.
Exposing your baby's skin to astringent, alkaline based solutions distributes the pH balance, often resulting in dryness and irritation. During the first few years of life it is important to protect and care for the delicate structure of your baby's skin by avoiding the use of harsh, abrasive products which strip it of vital natural oils.
Baby's skin need to be able to breathe to develop. The use of Petrochemicals
creams and gels has been show to hinder the skin and the skin's immune
system development in neo-natal infants. It is also highly flammable and
traps micro-organisms on the skin! ****
Botáni products are free of petrochemicals, so you can be assured
that with our "100% Botanical" formulations your baby's skin
will breathe and develop normally. With Botáni's gentle formulations,
you can cleanse, moisturise
and heal any skin issues that may arise, in complete confidence that you
are doing the best for your baby.
