Eczema Baby Wash
Super gentle cleansers with extra moisturizers 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. |

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.
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.
Try Gentle Naturals Baby Eczema Cream
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 a super-rich soothing moisturizer
specially formulated for babies with eczema. This formula
contains petrolatum and dimethicone to form a barrier on
the skin to prevent moisture loss. It also 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.
Tip: 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. |
