Description
This chamomile baby butter with its thick and creamy texture of the shea butter blended with the extra virgin olive oil and chamomile essential oil (in the tiniest of quantities) is so soft, rich and wonderfully softening for your baby’s skin. Simply scoop a small amount out of the jar and allowing your natural body heat to warm the butter, gently apply to the skin and massage in.
Shea butter is the fat that is extracted from the nut from the shea (Karite) tree, mainly grown in West Africa and is the African treatment for skin conditions such as eczema, scarring, stretch marks, sunburn, itching, insect bites & skin blemishes. Shea butter is the key ingredient in this body butter. With its creamy texture it is a delight to apply to the skin. Scientific investigations have found that shea nut butter does not pose any known or likely allergy risk to consumers, including those with peanut or tree nut allergies.
We use organic and fair trade shea butter which contains naturally occurring vitamins A, E & F, helping to maintain optimum skin health. Improving elasticity and abundant in fatty acids that help with collagen production, to help maintain youthful skin and with its mild SPF (thought to range from 4-6 SPF, naturally), anti-inflammatory properties and ability to reduce skin irritation shea butter is a true skin healer. Shea butter not only works on the surface of the skin, creating a protective barrier but it also penetrates deeply into the dermal layers of the skin to heal within.
Olive oil contains at least four different types of antioxidant: vitamins A and E, polyphenols, phytosterols and avenasterol to help maintain a healthy body. The antioxidants in olive oil work by neutralising damaging free radicals that can lead to skin aging and skin cancer.  Chlorophyll is also present in olive oil – a photosynthetic pigment found in plants and algae – the life-giving part of the plant. It is an anti-aging substance that promotes the healing of skin conditions and wounds.
A very small amount of chamomile essential oil is added for extra benefits for your baby. Chamomile is naturally extremely calming and will soothe itchy skin with its anti-inflammatory properties. It soothes complexions and is great for treating baby blemishes. Chamomile has antiseptic, antibacterial and antibiotic properties so will help fight infection. Being an antioxidant, this gentle oil will also help fight those damaging free radicals.

I bought your chamomile baby butter at the Wolverhampton vegan fair mainly for my young baby. However I also started to use it on my 3 year olds skin. Ever since she was born my three year olds eczema on her face has worsened significantly over winter despite trying a range of creams she has needed steroids and antibiotics to get it under some control though we have never been able to completely clear it. This year as soon as we could see it starting to flair up we used your cream on her and it has completely cleared her eczema, no steroids or antibiotics required! We are so delighted. Thank you so much.
