Dry, Itchy Skin? How to Choose a Lotion That Provides  Lasting Relief

Choosing the right lotion for your baby's delicate skin is a crucial part of their daily care. You want something that's gentle, effective, and free from harmful ingredients. At Gentle Touch!, we're committed to transparency and want to share everything you need to know about our Baby Lotion.

This guide will walk you through our carefully selected ingredients, their benefits, and how our lotion can help keep your little one's skin healthy, soft, and supple.

Decoding Our Gentle Formula:

We believe in being open about what goes into our Baby Lotion. Here's a breakdown of the key ingredients and their roles:

  • Coconut Oil & Shea Butter: This dynamic duo of natural emollients deeply moisturizes and nourishes baby's skin. They help to lock in moisture, preventing dryness and keeping skin soft and supple.
  • Glycerin & Propylene Glycol: These humectants draw moisture from the air to the skin, providing long-lasting hydration.
  • Glycerol Monostearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, & Ceteareth-20: These ingredients act as emollients and help to create a protective barrier on the skin, preventing moisture loss and keeping the baby's skin feeling smooth and comfortable.
  • Wheat Germ Oil & Castor Oil: These natural oils are rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins, providing nourishment and supporting healthy skin development.
  • Triethanolamine: Used in small amounts to adjust the pH of the lotion, ensuring it's gentle on the baby's skin.
  • Lactic Acid: A gentle AHA that acts as a humectant and helps to exfoliate dead skin cells, revealing smoother skin.
  • Sodium Benzoate & Phenoxyethanol: These are safe and gentle preservatives that prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and mould, ensuring the product stays fresh and effective.
  • Fragrance: We use a specially formulated, hypoallergenic fragrance that is gentle and safe for babies. [Optional: Add specifics about your fragrance, e.g., "It's free of common allergens," or "It's a delicate blend of chamomile and lavender."]
  • Polysorbate 80: A gentle emulsifier that helps to blend the oil and water components of the lotion.
  • Titanium Dioxide: A mineral sunscreen ingredient that helps protect a baby's skin from harmful UV rays. (If applicable to your formula).
  • DM Water (Deionized Water): Pure, filtered water that serves as the base for our lotion.

Benefits Beyond Hydration:

Our Baby Lotion is designed to do more than just moisturize. It's formulated to nourish and protect your baby's skin:

  • Gentle & Safe: We avoid harsh chemicals and prioritize gentle ingredients that are safe for even the most sensitive skin.
  • Long-Lasting Moisture: Our carefully selected blend of emollients and humectants provides long-lasting hydration, keeping baby's skin feeling soft and supple all day long.
  • Nourishing & Protective: Ingredients like Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, and Wheat Germ Oil nourish the skin and help to strengthen its natural barrier function.
  • pH Balanced: Maintaining the natural pH balance of your baby's skin is vital for preventing dryness and irritation. Our formula is designed with this in mind.

Addressing Common Concerns:

  • Dry Skin: Our rich blend of emollients and humectants is designed to combat dryness and keep baby's skin feeling soft and hydrated.
  • Sensitive Skin: Our hypoallergenic formula is designed to minimize the risk of irritation for babies with sensitive skin.
  • Eczema: While our lotion is gentle, if your baby has eczema, it's always best to consult with a paediatrician for personalized recommendations.

Creating a Gentle Skin Care Routine:

  • Bath Time: Bathe your baby in lukewarm water with a gentle cleanser.
  • Pat Dry: Gently pat your baby's skin dry with a soft towel after bath time.
  • Apply Lotion: Apply our Baby Lotion immediately after bath time, while the skin is still slightly damp, to lock in moisture.
  • Regular Application: Reapply lotion as needed throughout the day, especially after diaper changes and before bedtime.

We understand that choosing the right products for your baby can be overwhelming. We believe in providing parents with the information they need to make informed decisions. Our Baby Lotion is carefully crafted with gentle, nourishing ingredients to provide the best possible care for your little one's delicate skin. We invite you to try it and experience the difference for yourself!
