Why we said NO MORE to steroid creams!
As parents, we always want what's best for our precious little ones, especially when it comes to their delicate skin. Many babies experience common skin issues like eczema, which we experienced with our first born. It can be a distressing for both baby and parent. While steroid creams are commonly prescribed to manage eczema, their strong ingredients may leave us questioning their long-term effects on our baby's skin.
At Artio Skincare, we believe in the power of natural solutions.
In hindsight the use and dependence on steroid creams in the early days when Tom (our first born) was suffering from eczema should not have been. I feel let down by the lack of support from our GP. The only solution we were given was the use of a steroid cream when there was a flare up and we were sent on our way. Fed up, I started to explore steroid creams and knew I had to find an alternative. This was not easy. I found nothing I was happy with that worked. So taking matters to our own hands and with the help of skin experts we created our gentle and effective Baby Balm—a natural alternative that brings comfort and relief to baby's skin. A balm that works wonders, a miracle balm!
The Concerns with Steroid Creams
Steroid creams, while effective in reducing inflammation and redness, may come with potential downsides. Their strong ingredients can thin the skin, leading to increased sensitivity and vulnerability to environmental irritants. Prolonged use of steroid creams might also lead to dependency and a phenomenon known as "topical steroid withdrawal," causing further skin discomfort and rebound effects
The Gentle Touch of Natural Ingredients
Our Baby Balm is crafted with love and care, using 100% natural ingredients. We handpick each element to ensure only the gentlest touch on your baby's skin. Organic shea butter, known for its nourishing properties, soothes and protects delicate skin without causing irritation. Our Baby Balm is free from harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, and preservatives, ensuring a pure and safe product for your little one.
Promoting Natural Healing
Unlike steroid creams that may provide temporary relief, our Baby Balm aims to promote natural healing and long-lasting comfort. Shea butter works to lock in moisture, soothe irritated skin, and support the skin's natural regenerative process. By opting for a natural alternative like our Baby Balm, you can instill confidence in knowing that your baby's skin is well taken care of, naturally.
Versatility for All Ages
Our Baby Balm's gentle formulation makes it suitable for babies and beyond. It's not just an alternative to steroid creams for little ones; it's a skincare staple for the whole family. Whether it's for nappy rash, teething rash, or even minor skin irritations, our Baby Balm offers a versatile solution for every age.
A Bonding Experience
Applying our Baby Balm is more than just skincare; it's a loving bonding experience between parent and baby. The soothing massage with our natural balm can create a cherished moment of comfort and love, making your little one feel safe and cared for.
