In Focus - Aqua Bath Oil

With an ever increasing focus on natural products, from food, to cleaning products to skin care, these days people are focusing more on the natural alternatives available to them and this is even more prominent with parents wanting the very best toxin free products for their children.

This week bubs about town partner Angie, mother to Isabella 13 months and an avid natural product user brings us her choice in baby bath oils

Most babies enjoy the sensation of a warm, relaxing bath and Aqua Oil Baby Bath Oil is such a lovely oil to use on your baby’s sensitive skin. It combines all natural high-grade vegetable oil ingredients to sooth and nourish your baby's delicate skin and encourage sound sleep. The light, nourishing qualities of GM free soya bean, apricot and sweet almond oils will leave your baby's skin feeling soft and supple after the bath and the essential oils of Lavender and Chamomile are also known to have relaxing properties proving also suitable for calming irritation, sensitive skin and soothing mild eczema.
Aqua Oil Baby Oil has been created for parents who are looking for a natural alternative to the common brand bath products. This product is specifically formulated for sensitive skin and this type of oil is not like most Mineral oils that do not absorb into the outer layers of the epidermis but instead leave a greasy film on baby's skin. When this happens it can contribute to a pore-sealing effect which could then hamper the natural function of the skin (excretion, heat regulation, eliminating toxins etc).

One of the best features about using this product is that it is 100% water dispersible and seems to distribute evenly throughout the bath without any slippery slimy surface film. It also washes out in water easily if there are any spills and won’t leave stains on towels, sheets or clothing. The oil can also be applied directly to the skin to seal in moisture after a bath and because it contains no synthetic, petro-chemical, mineral oils, artificial colours or fragrances you don’t have to worry if baby does sucks their fingers after use. I always say that, ‘we shouldn’t routinely put onto our bodies what we are not willing to ingest’.

Aqua Oil Baby Bath Oil is made in Australia and available at most Coles Supermarkets in the baby aisle, you will find that they are very reasonably priced and that a little goes a long way.
