“SPRING IS HERE, OUTDOORS HERE WE COME!”

Should I be concerned about putting sunblock on my baby?
Yes. We all need vitamin D, your baby included, but doctors recommend laying off the sunscreen until your little one is at least 6 months old. The question is, what do you do when they start crawling and walking and you can’t keep your busy bee in the shade? Answer, a natural sunblock. Many sunblocks available in stores contain chemicals whose safety is questionable. One in particular, oxybenzone, has been linked to allergies, hormone disruption, and cell damage. When penetrating the skin of pregnant mothers, it can lead to low birth weight in baby girls. Other chemicals in these products may also be suspected carcinogens. What does this mean? When choosing a sunscreen for you and your family, grab a bottle of DermaMed’s DermaSoleil, and slather up with peace of mind! These products contain zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, chemicals which rest on top of the skin rather than being absorbed by it, to effectively block the sun. Choose the SPF that suits you best and you’re ready to hit the beach!

What do I put on my toddler’s “owees”?
With the arrival of the outdoor season comes scrapes and the infamous “OWEE”. Other than a kiss to make it better, what should you put on them? Better Baby Bums now carries Baby DermaMed’s Bee Propolis. Rather than using something harsh like peroxide that stings and doesn’t protect the wound, try Bee Propolis. This cream is an effective aid against bacterial infections by stimulating the body’s natural process to destroy harmful bacteria. Bee Propolis is the strongest natural disease-fighter in Nature!
