For Her Babies Living Moisturizer
A pure and soothing herbal cream, perfect for babies, children, and those with
sensitive skins. It is particularly effective for nappy rashes and skin conditions
such as eczema and psoriasis.
For Her Babies Living Cream contains 100% organic:
Raw cacao butter*: a highly moisturizing ingredient, which helps to regenerate
skin cells and restore elasticity.
Apricot kernel oil*: An emollient, non-greasy, skin conditioning agent, that
is particularly effective for sensitive, tired and mature skins.
Macerated calendula, echinacea and st john's wort in sunflower oil*: Macerated
oils are made by placing herbs, selected for their therapuetic properties, in
cold-pressed oil and leaving them in the sun for several weeks. This gently
transfers the active ingredients and healing qualities of the herbs to the oil.
Our particular blend of macerated oils is soothing and helps to reduce inflammation,
skin itching and irritability.
Raw cacao butter
Our organic cacao butter is fairly traded with small farmers in southern Togo,
who harvest the cacao beans from the shade-grown cacao trees. This variety of
cacao butter has a particular rich, chocolate-like aroma, stronger than any
other cacao butter that we know of. It is free from any chemical preservatives
and it has not been deodorised.
Cacao butter is great for repairing dry skin, wrinkles and damaged skin. It
helps to regenerate skin cells and restore elasticity thanks to its high levels
of antioxidants and minerals. Cacao butter promotes healthy and smooth skin
and is particularly good as a protection against the weather.

 About Raw Gaia, by Raw Gaia
How it all started
For many years, we searched for a really good moisturizer, that would be made
with ingredients as fresh and as close to nature as possible and that would
be free from any chemical or toxic ingredients.
Unable to find anything suitable, we started experimenting in the kitchen and
making our own creams. Eventually we came up with what we believe is one of
the purest range of skin care products available.
What distinguishes Raw Gaia is that we use only 100% organic, raw and vegan
ingredients such as raw cocoa (cacao) butter, cold pressed oils and essential
oils. Importantly, our products are made following a process that avoids temperatures
beyond 40°C. In this way, the life force of the ingredients and all their
antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, etc., are retained. All these nutrients are
then available to nourish your skin, without leaving any surface residues.
The importance of raw
Simply put, the main benefit of a raw, living skin care product is that your
body nourishes from the existing life force of the ingredients. In contrast,
subjecting to high temperatures destroy most of this living energy.
Raw ingredients provide additional benefits to the skin through their:
Antioxidants: Antioxidants help to keep the skin supple and beautiful
by neutralizing free radicals. Free radical exposure eventually leads to hidden
inflammation and eventually, wrinkles and ageing skin.
Minerals: These occur naturally in our bodies and are found in our most
common foods. Sulphur for example is essential to make the skin soft and elastic
since it is an essential component of all connective tissues.
Vitamins: They are beneficial to damaged and distressed skin. Vitamin
C for example, is especially useful as an anti-wrinkle remedy for under-eyes
skin.
Omega 6 Fatty Acids: Present in oils such as primrose and borage seed
oils, they have been shown to gradually improve eczema and moisturize dry, cracking
and/or scaling skin.
What purity really means
Several leading alternative medicine practitioners and nutritionists suggest
that you should only apply on your skin what you would be willing to eat. The
reason behind this is that it will end up in the body tissues, either way.
Raw Gaia’s creams, lip balms and moisturisers are so pure that you could
in fact, eat them. (We’ve done that ourselves as a test!) We don’t
recommend you do that since they are not very palatable and the stomach may
not be used to it, but our skin care products are certainly safe to eat since
they are only made with raw, vegan and organic ingredients.
Evidently, our products do not contain any nasty petrochemicals, artificial
colourants and parfums, glycols, lauryl sulphates, parabens, preservatives,
synthetic additives, bulking agents or hidden ingredients. Because we avoid
any heat treatment, the oils in our products also do not contain any toxic transfatty
acids.
Raw Gaia's products are certified vegan by The Vegan Society. Our products
have not been tested on animals. In addition, we have carefully screened our
suppliers to ensure they do not carry out tests on animals either.
Important legal note: Though we are happy to provide
products and services which will help you to improve your health and well being, we do not 'treat', or aim to 'cure' any disease. Under UK law only a medical doctor may 'treat' illness and disease with a medical origin. The information in this web page is for information purposes only.
