Review: California Baby Calendula Cream

Calendula Cream Nature's First-Aid!® 
California Baby® Calendula Cream is excellent for use on general diaper area and may be used on face and body for extra-dry or sensitive skin. Botanically based, our light and fluffy Calendula Cream contains the ingredient of Calendula, which has been used to soothe the skin for centuries. California Baby® Calendula Cream offers deep hydration, absorbs completely, and leaves skin feeling satiny smooth. Use daily for everyday protection and especially when the air is dry and baby's skin needs relief. The entire family can benefit from this soothing, multi-purpose cream. 

My Review:
Pros:

• Contains organic and sustainably grown vegan ingredients 
• Soothing
• Great for Rashes, Baby acne, and diaper area 
• Hypo-allergenic 
• Works very well on dry and chapped skin 
• Light and fluffy consistency
• Absorbs fast and not greasy
• Great Smell

Cons:

• Expensive!

Overall: If you ask me for the best all around treatment cream, this is #1! My baby had baby acne, heat rash and diaper rash and when I use this, results could be seen fast. I was very happy with this product and used it religiously all over his body everyday. However, the tub was all gone in less than a month. I knew I had to try different products to see which ones could be comparable or cheaper. 

Rating: 5/5

Tips: Its best to apply soothing creams after bath and re-apply through out the day if there are dry patches or agitated rashes on babies skin. If you have used a product for a week and no better results, it means its not working. 

Will I repurchase?: Definitely! Yes

The Science Behind Healthy Skin. All Baby Sebamed products are meticulously formulated to naturally protect a baby's delicate skin.  A newborn's skin lacks the natural hydrolipid protective barrier which  is established during the first few months of life.  Every Sebamed product has a pH balance of exactly 5.5 - precisely the pH required to support this barrier.  Any other pH level, such as found in soap, may leave your baby's skin susceptible to breakdown and irritation.  Discover what 150 clinical studies have already proven - pH 5.5 is vital for healthy skin.

My Review:

Pros: 

• Smell is not overwhelming

Cons:

• Not suitable for my baby's skin
• Thick cream makes it more suitable as a barrier cream
• Not moisturising
• Did not prevent rashes in diaper & neck area
• Did not treat rashes in diaper & neck area
• Did not help in the redness of the fold of the skin

Overall: Someone gave this to me but I only opened it up when Baby yo had rashes on his diaper area and on his neck. Turns out that its heat rash thus, this was one of the products recommended in Kiddy Palace. However, this product is very disappointing because it did not help the rashes even after a few days of application. 

Rating: 1.5/5

Tips: Always check baby's body for any rash and treat it immediately so that it would not be more irritated and agitated. Apply cream for at least 3 days to see results. Stop immediately if you do not see any improvements. If it gets worsen, seek medical help as baby might be allergic to certain products of the cream.

Will I repurchase?: No
