Before I had children, I thought any product advertised as good for baby… was. Big mistake! I learned the lesson when the products I bought for bathing my first child caused his sensitive skin to erupt in hideous hives!
Not all skins are as sensitive as my son's, but I use him as a litmus test of sorts. If it doesn't irritate him, it probably won't bother his brother (who, while younger, seems to have a bit of a tougher hide). Weleda's Calendula Care line passed the sensitivity test with flying colors.
The Calendula scent is divine, and is especially appreciated by this Mom, who ordinarily has to buy scent-free products for the kiddos. I love the way my babies smell after using Weleda's Calendula Care line! A type of marigold, Calendula extract is also known to reduce inflammation and soothe irritated tissue. Killer for diaper rash!
Here's a price list for you: Calendula Diaper Care retails for $11, Calendula Baby Cream retails for $10, Calendula Cream Bath retails $16, Calendula Face Cream retails for $10, Calendula Lotion retails for $13, Calendula Oil retails for $14, Calendula Shampoo and Body Wash retails for $10. Not sure if you want commit? The baby starter kit includes teeny-tiny versions of the entire Calendula collection.
Did you know a baby's skin is 5 times thinner than an adults? Crazy stuff! Just one of the very interesting facts I learned at the Weleda website. Click HERE to visit Weleda's Online Shop. Other retailers include Target and drugstore.com.
