GENTLE AND SAFE BATHTIMEBack

Fragranced toiletries, and particularly bubble bath or bath salts which also contain chemicals have been linked to yeast infections in babies and young children, and indeed anyone who takes frequent baths using these kinds of products

Not only are cheap bath products made from the same sort of industrial detergent found in your washing powder, but many feature chemicals such as tretrasodium, sodium laureth sulphate and cocami dopropyl betaine, which can raise the risk of skin irritation and rashes.  Even worse, many bubble baths are fragranced with synthetic chemicals such as persol, which makes them even more likely to cause allergic skin reactions and even headaches.  

The chemical ingredients affect the PH balance of the body and kill off 'good' bacteria that keep yeast growth under control and fight off infection.  Children love to take bubble baths and play in the bubbles, but the fact is that they are usually sitting in the water long enough to allow the chemicals to cause the damage.

Soothe The Senses Bath Soak from Tropic Skin Care is a nourishing oil to milk bathtime indulgence with 100% natural ingredients including oils of frangipane, rose geranium and sweet orange, which means you are perfectly safe to stay in the bath as long as you wish.  Just three capfuls in a running bath turns your bathwater into a soothing milk, with seven perfectly pure essential oils, and it is safe for bath-lovers of all ages to enjoy.  Cost is £38 for 260 ml.

There is also Luxury Tahitian Vanilla and Coconut Bath Foam with aloe vera extracts which help soothe and hydrate the skin while you bathe. £18 for 260 ml.
