| A
baby’s skin is ultra-sensitive. As a baby develops
so does the protective layer on their skin. An Infant's
skin is five times thinner than an adult’s making
it sensitive, especially to irritations and environmental
influences. Babies tend to loose warmth quickly because
of their inability to consistently hold in heat. WELEDA
Natural Baby Care helps to wrap the child in a layer
of warmth and protection supporting healthy development
and harmony.
WELEDA
uses only the gentlest ingredients:
Pure plant oils bring warmth to the body and keep
the skin smooth and supple. Extracts of organically
grown Calendula and Chamomile help to soothe sensitive
skin.
All WELEDA Baby Care products have been developed
in conjunction with physicians and midwives.
The
skin is the organ of the body which meets and deals
with the outside world. A mature skin can, to a certain
extent, protect itself. It can, for example, cope
with the inhibition of its breathing and excretory
functions for many years. This is not the case with
a baby’s skin which is, like the baby itself,
without protection, susceptible and vulnerable. The
tender, sensitive skin, which can so easily swell
and become inflamed and which so readily absorbs,
needs to be looked after with special care.
The formulations take into account the needs of the
baby and provide more than just a standard treatment
of sensitive skin. The products offer a veritable
support to the skin’s natural functioning by
contributing to the development of a shield of warmth
– necessary for controlling the body’s
vital functions.
Out of this understanding of the special needs of
a baby’s delicate skin and out of the knowledge
gained from over seventy years experience working
with natural substances, Weleda have developed natural
baby products. These preparations are made from carefully
selected, gentle, natural ingredients and are manufactured
in accordance with the same strict quality standards
that are applied to the manufacture of Weleda medicines.
Biodynamically grown Calendula is a key ingredient
in all the baby care products. During the formulation
of the Calendula Baby Care range, Weleda did not merely
take one form of Calendula and use it in all the products,
rather different Calendula extracts were produced
specific to the use of each particular product. Weleda
uses home grown Calendula flowers to produce these
extracts.
Calendula flowers are processed immediately after
harvesting, which is carried out manually. The flowers
are gently dried in a warm air current. Following
this, the process of producing the Calendula extracts
begins using pure natural oils and specific product-related
production processes. Calendula is renowned for its
soothing and regenerative qualities and for its cooling
properties in cases of irritation.
To select the ingredients for each Calendula Baby
Care Product is an art in itself in order to ensure
that the various ingredients complement each other.
In addition to an extract of Calendula flowers, all
the products also contain an extract of Chamomile
flowers which, with its gentle properties, complements
the action of Calendula. As in all Weleda Body Therapy
Products, no artificial preservatives or fragrances
are used.
