What Do You Shea?

Moisturizing skin and maintaining that healthy balance is a constant struggle for many people; and with so many options in the marketplace, it's hard to know just what's going to work and what won't last past the time it takes to read through the ingredients list.

Just as easily as adult skin dries out, even that oh-so-touchable and soft skin on a baby can become dry, itchy, and uncomfortable. The harsher formulas of even some of the most "gentle" lotions can irritate a baby's delicate skin, so finding a solution can seem almost impossible––especially when you want to steer clear of chemicals and dyes. Thankfully, the experts at Shea Moisture have put their skincare geniuses to work to formulate the perfect product line, offering parents a worry-free way to soothe even the most sensitive baby. Long recognized for their dedication to quality and use of natural and certified organic ingredients, Shea Moisture's new Baby Extra-Mild Wash & Shampoo and Baby Healing Lotion are gluten-free and fragrance-free, making them perfect for babies with allergies and intolerances to gluten and fragrances.  


The Extra-Mild Wash & Shampoo offers a safe, healthy way to lather your baby from the tops of their tiny heads to the tips of their ticklish little toes. Hypoallergenic and pediatrician-tested, this cleanser is free of sulfates and contains organic shea, cocoa, and mango butters; aloe vera; and vitamin E. ($9.99, 13oz.)

The Healing Lotion will deeply moisturize, heal, soften, and protect your baby’s skin without any of the irritation caused by synthetic dyes, fragrances, or gluten found in many other product lines. Made with organic shea, cocoa, and mango butters; aloe vera; and vitamin E . ($9.99; 13oz.)
