Today, when I was bathing my 2 year old with a herbal scrub, I happened to read the ingredients at the back of the bottle. It mentioned Paraben. It shocked me as it being a herbal product, it should not have such things. I was not sure of what harms does Paraben occur but I was sure that it is harmful. I searched on the internet and came to know that studies indicate that Paraben might cause cancer. I decided not to use such products on my baby and hence, adopted cleaning ingredients from my kitchen for her. Here are some of them that you mothers can use:
Gram Flour
This is my favourite. I mix gram flour with fresh milk or curd. A few drops of lemon and turmeric and the babyscrub is ready. In summers, she likes this chilled mix and enjoys the bath.
Bread Scrub
You need some fresh bread slices. Scramble them. Mix it with milk and scrub the baby's body with it. Make sure that the bread is fresh and not beyond the expired date.
Oatmeal
Use some oatmeal powder or grind the oat flakes. Add fresh milk. It's good for weekly cleansing.
Rose water
Add few drops of rose water to any scrub or cleansing mix you prepare. Your baby might love the smell and you will love the fresh feeling of the same. Rose water is especially recommended in winters to keep the moisture of the skin intact.
Masoor Dal
What?? You might be surprised right. Masoor dal is actually good for the natural glow on the skin, they say. Add some milk and sandal powder to ground masoor daal.
