Moisturise My Baby

Raw, Organic Shea Butter for Newborn and Toddler Skin 

Babies’ skin is delicate. Products designed to moisturize their skin must be irritant-free and organic. Shea butter is extracted from the nuts of shea trees, and it's a perfect choice for your newborn or toddler. Regular application of shea butter provides adequate skin surface protection and promotes healthy skin cells' growth.

Benefits of Shea Butter for Newborns and Toddlers 

Moisturize Dry Skin 

The main benefit of shea butter is its moisturizing effects. This is because shea butter is richly packed with fatty acids and vitamin E. Apart from that, shea butter also contains modest amounts of stearic, palmitic, linoleic, and oleic acids. These constituents are well-known to soften skin surfaces and hold moisture in the skin naturally.

Antibacterial Properties 

Several scientific studies have shown shea butter to decrease anti-microbial activities effectively. That said, you can reduce the risk of your child developing bacterial infections by applying shea skin to their skin. The anti-bacterial properties of shea butter would be particularly advantageous for newborn babies as they're more prone to infections.

Reduce Skin Inflammation 

Shea butter is a plant-based product that comes with natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Diaper rash and insect bites are common amongst babies; therefore, applying shea butter to the affected area helps to reduce associated inflammation. Moreover, shea butter can soothe the skin and relieve any skin discomfort your toddler or newborn may experience.

Provides Sun Protection 

Exposure to sunlight during the early ages of life may be harmful. The harsh UV rays emitted by the sun could damage your toddler's skin surface and suppress the skin's immunity. Shea butter containing cinnamic acid works as a natural sunscreen, protecting the skin from harmful radiations. On top of that, shea butter can also heal oxidative damages on the skin due to sun exposure. In addition, make sure to dress your baby in protective clothing and avoid direct sunlight as much as possible. 

Is Shea Butter Safe for My Newborn? 

Absolutely! Shea butter is safe and suitable for all skin types and ages. It’s because shea butter is naturally derived, and it has no documented toxic effects on humans. Therefore, you can use shea butter on your baby without any worries. 

Nevertheless, we encourage you to look out for symptoms of shea butter allergy, such as itchiness or nausea. If your newborn exhibits these symptoms, stop using shea butter and consult your healthcare provider.
