A super-rich soothing moisturizer specially formulated for babies with eczema
Eczema - What it is
Eczema is a common skin condition that is characterized
by itchy, dry, red, scaly skin. It often starts as a
rash on the cheeks, but then can appear just about anywhere
on baby’s body. Often, eczema is a vicious cycle:
the skin is irritated, it itches, your child rubs or
scratches it, which makes it more inflamed and itchier.
Symptoms
The first signs are red, scaly, itchy patches that
typically appear on baby’s cheeks but can also
appear just about anywhere. Eczema usually first appears
between three months and two years of age. Many babies
outgrow eczema and symptoms usually decrease as a child
gets older. |

a soothing touch can say
"I love you very much!"

Causes of Eczema
While the causes are not fully understood, eczema seems
to run in families with a history of allergies and skin disorders.
There are many environmental factors that can trigger eczema,
including heat, scratchy fabrics, animal dander, or detergents.
Sometimes, eczema can be an allergic reaction to baby’s
food, or even the food in your diet, if you’re a nursing
mother.
Eczema Treatment
Treating eczema is a three-part plan: Keep baby’s
skin well moisturized, treat the inflammation, and identify
and remove any potential triggers.
Babies with eczema need a moisturizer applied several
times a day and especially right after a bath to lock in
moisture. Gentle Naturals Baby Eczema Cream
is formulated with petrolatum and dimethicone to form a barrier
on the skin to prevent moisture loss. It contains aloe vera
to help heal irritated skin, and calendula, jojoba oil, apricot
oil, and soybean oil to soften and moisturize, plus vitamins
A, D, and E to nurture skin and help it heal.
You should try washing baby’s clothes in a laundry
detergent made for sensitive skin. Watch for food triggers
in baby’s diet (or yours, if you’re nursing)
and in the environment.
Topical prescription medications that are used to treat eczema are not generally recommended for children under two years of age.
Try Gentle Naturals Eczema Baby Wash
Many pediatricians recommend daily bathing to hydrate
the skin, followed by a moisturizer. Gentle
Naturals Eczema Baby Wash is ideal for babies with eczema.
It has gentle cleansers that won’t irritate sensitive
skin and highly effective natural moisturizers to soothe
the itching. It contains aloe vera to condition, and calendula,
jojoba oil, apricot oil, and soybean oil to moisturize, along
with vitamins A, D, and E to nourish skin.
