Dimethicone means the product 'glides' and can be rubbed in efficiently - ideal for wriggling infants or for gentle baby massaging - plus you can use less. It’s normal for babies’ skin to go through some transitions as they adjust to life outside the womb in the first few days and weeks, so don’t be alarmed if you notice some acne or peeling early on.

Keep in mind that less is more and most babies don’t need lotion, to begin with. If you decide to use lotion on your baby, you may want to consider applying it after bathtime to maximize their skin’s ability to retain moisture, according to Solomonian. This ingredient works with other ingredients to moisturize baby's skin. Naturally derived from vegetable oil. Isopropyl Palmitate The disadvantage of Titanium Dioxide is that it's not cosmetically elegant, meaning it's a white, "unspreadable" mess. Sunscreens containing Titanium Dioxideare often hard to spread on the skin and they leave a disturbing whitishtint. The cosmetic industry is, of course, really trying to solve this problemand the best solution so far is using nanoparticles. The itsy-bitsy Nano-sized particles improveboth spreadability and reduce the whitish tint a lot, but unfortunately, it also introduces new health concerns.

Typically, these products are claimed to be hypoallergenic and 'formulated to minimise the risk of allergies', as well as free of known fragrance allergens. As for hair care, coconut oil has pretty solid research showing that it can penetrate into the hair very well (better than mineral oil and sunflower oil) and it can prevent hair protein loss as well as combing damage. If you have problems with damaged hair, split ends, coconut oil is worth trying as a pre- or/and post-wash treatment. Labmuffin has an awesome blogpost explaining in more detail why coconut oil is good for your hair. However, Dr Olioso explains it's still possible that some people may react to ingredients other than fragrance, including preservatives.

The main concernwith nanoparticles is that they are so tiny that they are absorbedinto the skin more than we want them (ideally sunscreen should remain on the surface of the skin). Once absorbed they might form unwanted complexes with proteins and they might promote the formation of evil free radicals. But do not panic, these are concerns under investigation. A 2009 review article about the safety of nanoparticles summarizes this, "to date, in-vivo and in-vitro studies have not demonstrated percutaneous penetration of nanosized particles in titanium dioxide and zinc oxide sunscreens". The English translation is, so far it looks like sunscreenswith nanoparticlesdo stay on the surface of the skin where they should be.Food grade olive or coconut oil are great as moisturizers, and plant-based creams and salves such as cocoa butter, beeswax, and aloe are gentle and safe to put on baby’s skin,” Solomonian adds.
