Aromatherapy

The three aromas used in our products are lavender, mandarin and chamomile. Each is excellent for children and babies, as they have relaxing, calming and rejuvenating properties.

Lavender is beneficial for helping babies to sleep, and has relaxing properties that are great at any time of day for fretful babies. It also has antibiotic, antiseptic, and detoxifying properties.

Mandarin is great at balancing a baby’s mood as it has both a calming influence and it gently uplifting. It also aids sleep, and helps digestion, so is helpful if your baby has colic, or is irritable. In France, mandarin essential oil is known as “the children’s remedy” as it can gently quieten an over-excited child.

Chamomile has healing and anti-inflammatory properties, so can help soothe dry or irritated skin, and eczema. It can be used at bathtime to soothe a fretful baby, and the aroma is also believed to help during teething.

Baby massage

Massage is great for comforting a baby - use a small amount of the lavender, mandarin or chamomile body lotion, and gently rub their feet. Use your thumb to massage from the centre of their sole towards the bottom of their toes, over the ball of their foot. Use gentle rhythmic movements, and ideally massage both feet at once.
