With my little man’s butt and surrounding accessories as rosy as Santa’s cheeks, the timing was perfect to try Naturity’s Organic Diaper Balm.
Naturity dubs its product as a soothing organic diaper balm for tender skin made from the organic oils of extra virgin olive, sunflower seed, safflower, and aloe. They also add organic calendula extract to help keep baby’s bottom healthy.
Using natural remedies for diaper rash, instead of using store-bought balms and ointments, can often lead to greater results and faster healing. Sometimes store-bought remedies don’t even work on your baby’s tender skin.
Olive has been used for centuries for all different kinds of ailments.
Sunflower Seed Oil also helps provide a protective barrier resisting against skin infections helping to soothe red, irritated skin.
Safflower oil helps reduce diaper rash. It is a safe and healthy alternative to baby oil, which is a non-edible petroleum product.
The gel from the aloe vera plant has been used as a topical treatment for healing for thousands of years. According to the National Institutes of Health, preliminary research supports the belief that aloe vera can heal wounds and inflammation to the skin. It can also help stop itching, and soothes rashes.
After half a dozen applications, my little guy’s beans and franks were back to normal.
I like this stuff a lot in principle. My only criticism is that it is very clumpy (non Vaseline like) and hard to apply in a smooth consistency. There are comparable natural products out there that apply smoothly.
Naturity puts its money where its mouth is by using 99 to 100% certified organic ingredients. They employ socially and environmentally-friendly business practices by purchasing ingredients from USDA certified organic, sustainable suppliers. Its packaging is eco friendly, using glass and metal containers for products rather than plastic. Gift items are contained in bamboo, recycled paperboard boxes, or tin and filled with recycled paper shred. They don’t incorporate additional packaging and pretty boxes that create waste, and ship items with biodegradable packaging peanuts.
Naturity also invites its customers to recycle their product containers. For every five containers sent back to them, they send you a $15 gift certificate.
