Should You Go For VLCC Ayurveda Baby Care Range?

I am amused how every personal care brand is launching it’s own range of baby products. But it’s not about a brand’s business, it’s about the health of a precious baby. How does a brand make sure the products are safe and gentle to be used on a baby’s skin. They claim it’s Ayurvedic or it’s natural, but that might be just a claim, how many of us literally go and check each and every ingredient mentioned on a baby product. Recently VLCC introduced it’s baby care range as VLCC Ayurveda Baby Care, but would you trust a newcomer when it comes to the health of our baby?

Personally, I have always used Himalaya Baby for my son since he was a baby. Later I switched to MamaEarth. I try to stick to natural brands when it comes to his personal care needs. Now he is 4 years old, and I think his skin has gotten quite habitual of his surroundings, the pollutants, the unintentional chemicals that he is exposed to (we just can’t protect them 100%), and his skin has never gotten any bad reaction or allergy. I tested few VLCC baby products on him, because he was really excited. I am going to share how he liked the products. Will also share my opinion on the products, given that VLCC products have never fared good on my skin. Stay tuned.

VLCC Ayurveda Baby Care Products

VLCC Ayurveda baby care range consists of 5 products including a massage oil, a head to toe wash, a baby cream, a baby lotion and a diaper cream. The products are claimed to be formulated with natural ingredients. Also they are claimed to be parabene free. The products are said to be based on ayurvedic formula. I will be talking about the products one by one.

What Preservatives Are Used In VLCC Ayurveda Baby Care Products?

There is no way to give a decent shelf life to products. Every brand uses them. The choice f preservatives determines how safe the products are to be used in general. When it comes to baby products it’s of high importance to use the most safe preservative.

Phenoxyethanol : This is one of the preservative used by VLCC Baby Care. This preservative is safe, and non toxic synthetic. But if inhaled it can definitely can cause lung irritation.

Ethylhexyl : When used in moderate amounts, it is safe to be used on skin.

VLCC Ayurveda Baby Massage Oil

The main ingredients of this massage oil are Almond oil, Olive oil & Tulsi. The massage oil also contains clarified Cow’s butter. This massage oil comes in a clear plastic bottle with a white flip top cap. The packaging is sturdy and the oil does not leak. Ingredients as well as the product details are provided at the back of the bottle.

The oil has quite herbal smell as Patanjali balm. The smell can actually relieve your baby of nasal congestion if there is any. The oil is quite light in texture, its runny and absorbs fast. My son loves to have bed time massages some time(once in a while actually), and that’s when I use this oil. It’s good in terms of the usability. I really hate to use thick oils as they can actually stain the clothes.

Price: VLCC Ayurveda Baby Massage Oil is priced at INR 90 for 100ml. It’s available widely online and offline.

A massage oil is something to enhance the bond between a baby and a mother. You can actually use any oil, what matters is the quality time that you two spend with each other.

VLCC Ayurveda Baby Head To Toe Wash

A baby head to toe wash is very handy. It can be used on scalp and skin of a baby. VLCC Ayurveda baby wash does not contain parabenes (as other VLCC baby products), and this is major plus point for me. I can use products that may contain parabenes on myself, but I will never use them over my son’s skin.

The wash comes in an opaque white colored bottle which contains sky blue colored label at the front and a white label at the back stating all the product information. The wash itself is yellow colored, runny and has flower’y and pleasant smell. It lathers well.

The only fact that I don’t like about this wash is the fact  that it leaves a slippery feeling behind after wining it out with water.

Price: VLCC Ayurveda Baby Head To Toe Wash is priced at INR 140 for 100ml.

VLCC Ayurveda Baby Cream

A baby cream must be thick enough to treat dry skin. But it should spread easily on her skin. VLCC Ayurveda Baby Cream is white in color, creamy and mildly fragmented. I use this cream on my son sometimes when his skin feels very dry. It instantly moisturizes his skin making it soft. It does not feel sticky though and gets absorbed with little bit of massage.

Price: The baby cream is available at INR 130 for 100gms.

VLCC Ayurveda Baby Lotion

VLCC Ayurveda Baby Lotion, is light in consistency than the baby cream. This is everyday lotion that I use for my son. His skin is normal and this lotion is enough for him. It gets absorbed easily and leaves skin happy.

Price:The lotion is available for INR 85 for 100ml

VLCC Ayurveda Baby Diaper Cream

This is a thick cream which is supposed to be used as a diaper cream. A diaper cream must keep the diaper area nourished and protective so that the baby does not get rashes. My son is above diapering age so I could not test it on him. But I actually applied it on my under arm when I got a rash while working out. It definitely healed it in no time.

Price: THe diaper cream is priced at INR 165 for 100gm.
