Organic Baby Gifts

In this world of ever increasing rates of asthma and allergies, organic baby gifts have become a very popular choice. Not only are they less likely to cause an allergic reaction in the newborn baby, they are also a more environmentally friendly gift choice. These days you can choose from a wide range of organic products for babies and new moms, knowing they will not contain harmful chemicals.

This article is dedicated to the benefits of organic skin care, but for more information about other types of organic gifts click on the following links:

The most important of organic baby gifts is their skin care and toiletries. This is because baby skin is so sensitive and absorbs very quickly any chemicals placed on it. Some products that will be needed include shampoo, soap or bath lotion, moisturizer, soothing balm for any nappy rash and sunscreen for certain climates. A new baby will also need diapers and liners, wipes and eco friendly disposable bags.

Below are some companies who stock these types of products:BUM BUM BALM 100% natural diapering salve by Dimpleskins Naturals, The Perfect Fit Skin Care, Natural Form - stockists of skin care, wipes, bedding and clothes, and Organics Australia Online - stocking skin care, insect repellent, sunscreen and many other useful baby items.

Apart from buying for the newborn, you may also like to include some organic skin care for the new mom. When she is moisturizing she will want to make sure she is using a product which, when the baby inevitably sucks her skin at some point, does not expose her newborn to harsh chemicals. It is also a good idea to keep in mind that newborns have an extremely keen sense of smell and strongly smelling products may not be appropriate in the early days of establishing breastfeeding (if that is what the mother is intending). She will also need to get some breast pads and sanitary napkins which are also available as eco friendly products.

The harmful chemicals to watch out for in skin care include sodium laureth sulphate, sodium laurel sulphate and propylene glycol just to name a few. Click here for a more comprehensive list and explanation of the harmful effects of these types of chemicals.
