Facial Products for Children

They don't need it, use what you use on the body, something for baby's skin. They don't need a facial regime at that age. In the teen years when the skin changes, but not before. I have 15 years in the industry, and babies don't need it. Stick to aveeno, or johnson and johnson, and that is great for them.

i use weldea baby soap products on my son and facial lotion for his face and body lotion for his body. it works wonders. and california baby is also good.

I don't use any form of cleanser on my kids faces, and their skin seems fine. For my face, the dermatologist suggested the Cetaphil range.

You are right that a little cleanser will clean better than plain water (especially with all that boys get into!), and that you need to be careful what you use! I concur with other responders that Arbonne Baby Care products would be a perfect choice. They contain no fragrances, or dyes, mineral oil or phthalates ... only gentle, beneficial ingredients. This line also contains a great broad-spectrum SPF for when they are outside!

Hi P.
I used Arbonne baby products with my girls. My yougest have a little eczema on her cheeks it cleared it up. I loved these so much and the diaper rash creme is great to. I tried a lot of products these worked the best. I got introduced to them when my sister-inlaw had an Arbonne party I had gone just to be nice, and I love all there products even there skin care products for adults. I loved them so much I recently launched my own Arbonne buisness. If you would like a sample of the baby products you can e-mail me ____@____.com. I would be happy to get them to you. You will love them.

i have only ever used water on my son's face (he's almost 4). i use something called happy baby wash for his 'soap' on his body - i only use a little bit and believe me - he gets dirty but a good soaking in the tub takes care of most of the dirt. our little ones do not need all the 'stuff' used in most products. (see below for more info) i also use products from www.stolatorganics.com - a certified organic company based in new hampshire that was started by a mom who made homemade concoctions for her children who had sensitive skin and allergies.

here's the description for the baby wash from nature's gift -
http://www.naturesgift.com/aromatherapybaby.htm
"For the baby wash we purchase the gentlest liquid soap (saponified olive, palm and coconut oils) available, add Lavender and Chamomile, and further dilute it with our pure Rose Hydrosol, to safely, gently and naturally clean baby’s delicate skin. Now, most of the time infants do not need soap...a warm wash cloth should be enough to get them shiny clean, but for the times you do need soap, this is your best and most natural choice."

i am really passionate about being healthier in all aspects of life - and even when we think we are - we maybe aren't. "Made with Organic ingredients" can mean 70% organic and 30% whatever. USDA Organic Seal is required to be 90% organic, but again the 10% can be whatever. Only the label specifically worded as 100% Organic means it is truly 100% organic. So not all organic is created equal.

i knew this info already but then today i was really saddened when i got this email from organic consumer's assoc about the following:

CONSUMER ALERT:
CANCER-CAUSING INGREDIENT FOUND IN LEADING "ORGANIC" & "NATURAL" PERSONAL CARE PRODCUTS

A newly released study commissioned by the Organic Consumers
Association (OCA) and overseen by environmental health consumer advocate David Steinman (author of The Safe Shopper's Bible), revealed the presence of the undisclosed carcinogenic contaminant 1,4-Dioxane in leading shampoos, body washes, lotions and other personal care and household cleaning products claiming to be "natural" or "organic". The study results, to be released this weekend at the Natural Products Expo in California, are already sending shockwaves
through the "organic" and "natural" body care industry. Laboratory tests showed that products certified under the USDA National Organic Program DID NOT contain this toxin, but most of the best selling personal care products claiming to be "organic" (but not USDA certified) contained the cancer-causing ingredient. All leading self-proclaimed "organic" brands have at least a few individual "certified organic" ingredients, but for most of these top-selling brands, the
product, as a whole, is not USDA organic certified, thereby allowing the presence of synthetic toxins. Similar studies have revealed the presence of this toxin in conventional personal care products, but this is the first study indicating the presence in misleadingly labeled "organic" and "natural" products.

Hi P.,
I just use a teeny amount of my daughters body wash, that way if any gets in her eyes then it wont sting. We use the Little Goats milk products, I get them at hannaford and I feel they work really well. A friend who's son has sensitive skin uses eucerin and she swears by it. Hope this helps.

I use natural products from a company called Melaleuca, they have a great kids line, I use all the body stuff and house hold cleaning supplies form them! Johnson and Johnson uses fermeldahyde in their products which are cancer causing, they list under one of the three different names for it in the ingredients. Also Arbonne and Berts Bees are great products, all very good for sensitive skin because there are no harsh chemicals, and not drying. good luck!

I use the Arbonne Product kids/baby line. My son has excema and this soap/lotion is the ONLY product that doesn't flare up dry skin and helps heal it. If you do a search in the mamasource local business reviews, you should be able to find an Arbonne sales person. It is like Avon, only can be bought by their reps.
