Your baby’s skin

These residues can be passed directly into the body even after undergoing various processes and manufactured into personal care products, even products for infants and babies. Organic ingredients however, are grown without chemicals in an attempt to provide manufacturers and ultimately consumers with the purest ingredients and products.

Organic baby lotions and creams are generally not as thick and creamy as their conventional counterparts as they are made from the least ingredients as possible to prevent clogged pores and break-outs.
