Many mass-market cosmetics contain chemicals and endocrine disruptors. Your baby's skin is thin and sensitive. Anything that is applied to its surface ends up in the bloodstream. Your child deserves the best care in addition to your love. Discover a selection of natural products to put in your baby's trousseau to take care of him. Creams, lotions, hydrolats, wipes, washable cotton, here are the essentials to find in the shelves of Santi-Shop.
Biodegradable cotton and bamboo wipes
For cord, seat or body care, say goodbye to single-use disposable wipes with these organic cotton and bamboo washable discs adapted to all skin types! The manufacture of conventional cotton consumes a lot of water and phytosanitary products. Then comes the bleaching stage with toxic chemicals and once used, the cotton is thrown away. In order for everyone to limit their environmental impact, Santi-Shop offers reusable wipes from the Bambaw brand. Made of bamboo and cotton, it is a very good ecological and plastic-free alternative to single-use cotton.
Organic baby wipes
Organyc's "Sweet Caress" baby wipes are soft, strong and easy to use. Specifically adapted to the most sensitive skin, they contain calendula and chamomile extract (soothing and refreshing), a softener with a moisturizing effect, and lactic acid to help maintain the pH of your baby's skin.
The wipes are soft, durable and can be taken anywhere. They are a good alternative to washable wipes when you are on the go. Finally, Sweet Caress wipes are guaranteed to be paraben-free, SLS-free and alcohol-free.
Soothing calendula cream
La calendula cream is a gentle, soothing and calming care cream with field marigolds for the delicate and sensitive skin of babies and children. The wool wax (lanolin) contained in the calendula cream has properties very similar to those of vernix caseosa, a white, oily waxy substance of sebaceous origin that covers and protects the skin of newborns.
It is also an excellent protection against moisture thus protecting the buttocks of baby against irritations in the layer, which is particularly appreciable.
Tips for use
- Use calendula cream after baby's bath or for daily protection, especially when the air is dry. Can be used as a natural aid on dry patches or chapped skin, or to soothe redness and calm rashes.
- The use of skin care products should always be sparing - especially for babies and children - because the skin should only be supported in its functions and not supplanted. Therefore, creams and oils should be applied in very thin layers and massaged into the skin. This massage promotes a better absorption of the active ingredients of the used care product by improving the blood circulation.
Sunscreen cream adapted to the sensitive skin of toddlers
La crème solaire LSF/SPF 50+ Baby and Kids bio Eco Cosmetics is a reliable mineral sunscreen for the sensitive skin of babies and children. This gentle sunscreen offers broad spectrum UVA, UVB and UVC protection, is quickly absorbed, does not whiten and works immediately after application. It also offers ideal protection for play in the water.
Hydrolats for baby care
