Infant Skin Care

My 11 wk old son has x link ichthyosis that requires him to be lotioned from head to toe numerous times a day. Does anyone know of any all natural fragrance free lotions or creams? We've been using cetaphil and it seems to be working...i'm just worried about the long term effects of using a product that has words i can't even pronounce.

What can I do next?

Eucerine is a very good thick lotion that works very well for eczema so this may be helpful as well for you.

Order raw, organic cocnot oil. Google it and find its many, many benefits. It is WONDERFUL.

Hi J.,

I'm not sure if this link will work, but it's the ABC (Arbonne Baby Products). They are WONDERFUL!! They're botanical baed products and they don't have any perfumes or dyes. I use the products on my girls. If you would like, I can mail you a free sample.

Hi J.
I am not familiar with the type of condition your son has, but my youngest has severe eczema and once used the Cetaphil several times a day until I came across a lotion made by a company that does not use any harmful ingredients in any of their products! To this day she has not had to use any other lotion and this actually keeps her skin so moisturized that she does not have to use it alot during the day! Please let me know if you would like more information about the company! Good Luck!

My oldest daugther has a pretty bad case of eczema (her skin will crack if we don't put lotion on her everyday) and one dermatologist told us to use CeraVe. You can get it at a pharmacy behind the counter (Target is where we go), but it's pretty expensive. We just started using it, so I can't give it a review just yet. The cream is $17.99 and the lotion and soap are $12.99 each. We have also used Mustela products: (1) Stelatopia Moisturizing Cream, (2) Stelatopia Milky Bath Oil, and (3) Stelatopia Cream Cleanser. We got these at Babies-R-Us and are gentle for babies. They are all great (and cheaper than Mustela products), but I just need to say that it is extremely important to be very careful with the baby oil because if the baby swallows the oil, it can be lethal. When my daughter was younger, we put the oil on her very lightly with a wash cloth and rinsed her off in the shower (with us of course). The oil helped her tremendously. It's hard to find the right lotion/cream that will work for your child. We have used TONS of different kinds. Although I am a HUGE fan of Aveeno products, they just didn't work for my daughter. Good luck and I hope this helps!

Hi,
Mannatech has two great topical products that might just be what you are looking for. In fact, they could possibly help with the condition, not just the symptoms. Emprizone and Firm both would work, but I would recommend the Emprizone first. You can check it out by going to my Web site, susanjordanbrown.com and clicking on the store link. You'll find info there and can order it if you want it. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I'll be glad to help.

You may look into Arbonne products. They are all natural and very good for you. They have a children's product line. Hope this helps.

100% almond oil, olive oil, grapeseed oil, avocado oil...any of those can be bought at herbalremedies.com, and they are 100% natural. You can even eat them, and put them on your salads if you choose. I use them everyday, in the shower, on my face, on my dry hands...they are wonderful.
No worries about anything chemical soaking into your blood from the harsh chemicals in that pharmaceutical stuff, or the over the counter stuff.
Mother Nature is always the best way to go.
