GLOBAL BABY SERUM

Whenever friends have babies, my first conversation with them (after hearing their name choices) is about pure, non-toxic skin care products that they can use.  Often, parents will feel comfortable using what their mothers used and what they grew up using, but we’re finding that many of those products contain pretty toxic ingredients.  How anyone could add a toxin to any skin care product, let alone a baby product, is beyond me.  But they do.  Just read a label next time you’re in the baby aisle.  It’s pretty sad.

That’s why I think it’s absolutely BRILLIANT that Lina Hanson created a new serum for babies called Global Baby Serum.  Unscented, due to the fact that many babies may find essential oils irritating, this formula is soft, light, so hydrating and, most of all, it absorbs very quickly.  I can’t think of a better skin care product to apply after a warm bath or after a diaper change.  Perfect for newborns, it’s also recommended for cradle cap.  $35

Why you’re going to love this:

• 100% organic blend of globally sourced oils (no tree oils)
• Vegan
• Absorbs super, super fast.
• Perfect for a little massage( on those juicy baby thighs!)
• Unscented (even though I’m obsessed with the scent of Lina’s Global Body Serum)
• Great for moms, too…think stretch marks and skin elasticity (yes!)
• The featured ingredient, Watermelon Seed, is harvested by women’s cooperatives in Africa.  Fair-trade practices such as this one support these women and their communities.  Nice.
