Who's skin is more important than your own? Well, if you're a mom, that skin would belong to your child. So many things can affect our skin: sun, humidity, chemicals in swimming pools or other products. We all know how irritating dry and itchy skin can be.
Well, I've recently been introduced to a locally made product line called Love Munchkin. I love a fellow "mompreneur"! Developed by
a CT mother, Linda
Delepine. She studied nutrition in college and learned about
the effects of artificial foods, preservatives, pesticides, GMO's and
all other things unnatural. Her senior thesis was based on the
correlation of unnatural additives in our everyday products and foods
and their correlation with autism in our society. This project opened
the door to researching the consequences of everything else that we put
into and onto our bodies, consequentially leading to my passion for all
things natural and simplistic. She decided to use her knowledge to make products that
are simple, clean and natural. Love Munchkin products are a more holistic, uncomplicated approach to skin care. So
far, she has created a line of nourishing oils made from the highest quality natural
plant based ingredients. She plans on expanding to other
natural products in the near future (expecting baby #2 any day).
I explained my daughter's dry skin to Linda and she specially blended a bottle just for her. I suspect she suffers from eczema although we haven't sought an official diagnosis. Whatever the cause, it flares up in the winter and she suffers from dry patches on her hands, elbows and knees and a random patch of bumpy skin on her side. I've tried the (modified for sensitivity) Sensitive Skin blend on her for a bout a week and I already see a significant improvement. Not to mention the lovely aromatherapy affects. My daughter loves the scent and likes to help me apply it. You get great coverage with only a few drops. It's not greasy, and absorbs quickly. We typically apply the oil before bed so it can absorb while she's sleeping. This would be great for infant massages as well! Here is more info on this product:
Newborn &Sensitive Skin Oil (4oz) is made with all natural,
non-toxic, safe and researched oils and essential oils specifically with
Baby and sensitive skin in mind. Each
ingredient serves a purpose, to comfort mind, & nourish skin. Sweet Almond
Oil, Olive Oil and Jojoba moisturize and soften; jojoba also unclogs the
pores and lifts impurities and grime since babies shouldn't be bathed too
often. Dill and Mandarin uplift moods and act as digestive aids, while
Chamomile & Lavender promote relaxation. Also helps clear up newborn acne
due to natural astringent & anti-oxidant qualities found in the ingredient
oils. Made for baby’s delicate skin, from simple, natural oils that will only
nourish and hydrate baby's skin while relaxing and calming baby's mind.
Belly Oil is a hydrating, moisturizing aroma therapeutic belly oil
rub made especially for pregnant mothers but may also be used post-natal. Smells amazing
and makes mommy feel good! Effective in treating and preventing stretch
marks caused by stretching of the skin during pregnancy. Pregnancy is a
crucial time to be aware of what we put into, as well as, onto
our bodies. Chemicals and preservatives are found in every day products
and can leech into our systems, passively poisoning us and our
fetus. That's why Belly Oil is as natural and simple as possible, it's
simply trustworthy. It's great as a massage oil for achy shoulders and
feet. Made with the best natural plant based carrier oils and essential
oils that each have a purpose and function to nourish skin and mind. Pregnancy-safe, vegan, and paraben-free. Absorbs quickly into skin,
best used after bathing. Can also be added to baths for extra
moisturizing and aromatherapy (just be wary that may make tub slippery).
Belly Oil has also been shown to reduce acne scars, scars from any other
source and hyperpigmentation and therefore can be used by mostly everybody!
Shake well and apply liberally. As with any other skin product, always test a patch of skin, wait 24 hours to notice if any reactive change in skin occurs. Shelf life of all products 2 years. Store out of direct sunlight, in cool, dry place preferably.
I have decided to sell these products in my store, Gumdrop Swap. So, if you live in the Fairfield County, CT area you can pick it up from me instead of paying the shipping charges. I have some tester bottles so you can try before you buy. No matter where you live, I recommend Love Munchkin products! Order from their website. I will have some for sale at this Friday's Mother's Day Boutique from 12pm-5pm at City Hall Annex.
