Go Shopping for Natural and Organic Products For Kids

Since becoming a mom more than five years ago, I have taken a keen interest in natural and organic skin care products for children. This gave me a good excuse to go shopping for new organic and natural skin care for my son. As he has mild eczema, I tend to try out new products that can help his condition.

Over the years, I have gathered a few of my personal favourites. I like to go shopping in the health stores and will pick up any good products to try. Some of my favourites include Thursday Plantation Tea tree oil from Australia. It is a fabulous antiseptic and I keep a bottle with me everywhere I go. It’s great for cuts, insect bites and wounds. The California Baby range from the US is my favorite too, particularly the calendula cream. It is calming and works well to heal the skin gently, especially if your child is suffering from an itch.

Another of my favourite is the Australian Lucas PaPaw Ointment made of pure paw paw. It is antiseptic and works well for any kind of rash, cuts, bruises, wounds, insect bites and even scalds. The other day, I scalded myself with a hot plate and the Lucas PaPaw ointment healed the bruised area gently and nicely. I strongly recommend that every mom keeps a tube of the Lucas PaPaw ointment in her bag.

I bought a tube for my cousin who had been on ephedra diet pill for a while and the ointment worked wonders for her little boy who had bad eczema rash last summer. The rash was caused by some chemicals present in the sunblock and her baby’s skin reacted to it badly.

Till I go shopping for more natural and organic skin care stuff, you can find Lucas PaPaw ointment in most Australian chemists and health stores. Otherwise, try searching them online for the nearest store that carries the product.
