You know when it comes to skincare, babies are not just little adults
– they need gentle formulas, pure ingredients and special care
for conditions like cradle cap and diaper rash. And when it's your
baby, you also like the added reassurance of “pediatrician-recommended”
products.
Baby Silk, a brand new collection of skin and hair products goes
one better – everything in the line is created by pediatricians:
California-based M.D. moms Diane Truong and JJ Levenstein. They've
put together a line using advanced ingredients such as marine silk,
botanicals and Vitamins E and B5 to provide antioxidant protection,
relieve dryness, promote healing and protect the skin's natural
moisture barrier. Baby Silk also has a delicate scent made from
essential oils of orange and gala apple blossoms that won't make
you feel like your infant has just been cuddled by your 80-year-old
Jean Naté-scented grandmother.
Some products to try: Delicate Skin Comfort, a silky talc
free liquid powder; Gentle Scalp Rub, a cradle cap treatment
that won't leave baby all greasy; Umbilical Cord Care, individual
snap-and-squeeze alcohol swabs to minimize the drama of newborn
belly button cleanings, and mess-free Babysafe Sunscreen Towelettes,
essential in any playground-bound diaper bag. Of course, formulas
are all clinically tested, hypoallergenic and free of lanolin, mineral
oil, petroleum, waxes, harmful chemicals and known skin irritants.
As moms and as doctors, these ladies have seen it all – on
the examining table and the changing table. The online site is packed
with firsthand safety tips and practical advice on everything from
bathing to sunscreen use. Knowing you'll need to use their products
while wrestling a wriggling daredevil, all the packaging is mom-friendly
with easy-open flip-tops and wide-base bottles that have lockable
pumps to keep little hands from making a mess while you're getting
them clean.
Looks like Baby Silk more than lives up to its medical degree.
