How to avoid dry skin while cleansing baby
One of the leading causes of dry skin and eczema in babies is using sulphate based baby washes.
So what's wrong with using 'normal' baby washes that contain sulphates? And what do sulphates do?
- Sodium laureth sulphate strips the natural oil from the skin leaving it rough, dry and prone to eczema's
- Sodium laureth sulphate is a powerful detergent, garages use it to clean engine oil from their floors.
- It is also very corrosive and can attack the formation of essential proteins in the the eyes leading to cataracts in adults and preventing children's eyes from forming properly.

"Having had 2 daughters with very dry/eczema prone skin, I was always reluctant to use store-brought products on them. A friend gave me a bottle of the MahuBaby Wash when my second daughter was about 3 mths old, and after using it for about a fortnight, I had noticed her dryness had dramatically improved even though i was still not moisturising after bathing. And as a side bonus I'm sure she started going to sleep easier as well. Thanks Mahu! I now recommend your products to anyone and everyone who mentions babies with skin issues".
