Everyone knows how special a baby's skin is... or do they? It is very different from an adult's skin, and requires special care.
Well, because a baby's skin:
To meet commercial two-year shelf life requirements, most available baby care products contain high levels of chemical preservatives and stabilisers—yet these chemicals are known to both dermatologists and cosmetic formulators as the main perpetrators of skin irritation. Why do we require such long shelf lives from these products, especially for baby care? A skin cream consists of water and oil in emulsion, something like dairy cream. Imagine dipping your finger into a jar of dairy cream on the shelf, every day, for two years. How much preservative would be needed in that cream to keep it from going bad? Would you eat something like that (even if it was 'organic')? At Border Compounding Pharmacy we make our baby care products fresh and on site, specifically for each and every individual. This means that our products can be made free of added preservatives and chemical stabilisers. Our baby care products have a pH of 5.o to match the natural pH of baby's skin, thus soothing and protecting the skin against alkaline irritation.
If you would like to learn more about any of the chemicals and ingredients in your baby's skincare products (such as preservatives, essential oils, sunscreens or stabilisers) contact us and ask one of our friendly pharmacists.
Your baby's skin will thank you!
