Skin care for babies has just been given a major revamp with the launch of a new range of products especially designed for babies and young children.
When choosing skin care for babies it is always advisable to choose products with natural ingredients that are less likely to irritate very sensitive skin.
In response to this skin care debacle, Australian naturopath, Keeli Cambourne decided to launch Cherub Rub which specialises in baby skin care.
She decided to look for more natural ingredients when she used an off the shelf cream on her son, Gus when he had nappy rash. His skin reacted badly to the cream she had used and he developed very painful blisters on his bottom.
Speaking to The Malaysian Star she said: “ It was aggravating to the point that is was impossible for Gus to wear a nappy.
“I was using baby products because they smelled and looked nice.”
After looking for 100 per cent totally natural creams for her son, she could not find a single product and so decided to develop her own products.
Using her knowledge and experience in naturopathy, aromatherapy and homeopathy she came up with a cream that then helped clear up her son’s blisters.
She said: “ Within a couple of days, Gus’ bottom was healed and I was like wow!”
This product is known as skin balm but the range also includes a number of other creams and lotions including body wash, shampoo and insect repellent.
The range is 100 per cent organic and does not contain any artificial fragrance or preservatives. It also contains no animal by-products or any petrochemicals.
At present the range is available to buy in Australia, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore however there may be plans to expand in other parts of the world.
