It’s no secret how delicate a baby’s skin is; it’s so important to treat it with the care it deserves. Babies can be prone to cradle cap or eczema; the latter’s symptoms present as patches of red, scaly dry and itchy skin. Eczema in babies often appears behind the ears and in the creases of their necks, knees and elbows.
The Organic Babies range by Green People was created by mama Charlotte Vøhtz after discovering her own daughter had eczema. Charlotte realised through her nursing and pharmaceutical background that steroids weren’t the answer.
For the past twenty years Charlotte and her company have been the pioneers behind organic skincare products, being instrumental in setting up UK industry standards in natural and organic cosmetics.
The Organic Babies range is brilliant for all babies, especially those suffering with skin complaints. The range includes gentle but effective washes, balms, salves, lotions and nappy creams. All products in the range can be used to treat the most delicate baby’s skin.
This Soothing Baby Salve contains a special mix of lavender essential oils. The salve contains organic shea butter, hemp, beeswax and calendula to help soothe irritation to soften, calm and protect skin. It lifts away cradle cap while its water resistant properties protect against nappy rash.

Keeping finger nails short means baby is unable to scratch, the effects of which can push bacteria into open and damaged skin.
Avoid dressing baby in any other than 100% cotton to minimise irritation. Choose loose clothes that allow baby’s skin to breathe.
Always use baby-specific washing powders, detergents and conditioners, as mainstream brands can be full of chlorine, brighteners, phthalates, phosphates, artificial fragrances and dyes.
