Bod for Bubs, one of the cutest baby ranges on the market, was created by Australian Naturopath & Homeopath, Brett Pattinson for his little boy, Lenin Alexander.  The Bod for Bubs story of how the brand came to be is similar to many other organic and natural skincare brands.  There was nothing on the market that Brett and his wife Lorena would consider using on their precious baby boy's bottom so they sat down and made something themselves from scratch....and Bod for Bubs was born so other people could use safe, natural, chemical free products on their own precious babies bottoms!  

Bod for Bubs make the distinction between pure, natural essential oils which can assist the healing process of the skin, and fragrance or other synthetic oils that have no healing properties at all. Fragrance and synthetic oils can also irritate young skin and more commonly available brands are often completely inadequate for babies although mothers', thinking they are doing the right thing, continue to use them to the detriment of their babies skin.

Studies have shown that babies who are massaged are more relaxed, sleep better, eat better, and suffer less from colic and constipation. Bod for Bubs recognise this and developed their range around massage.  They also believe that aromatherapy and massage, as well as having positive effects on babies' general health, also helps to create strong bonds between parents and children.

Bod for Bubs uses essential oils that are known for their suitability for babies and children.  Chamomile, calendula, marjoram, mandarin & sweet orange, as well as having wonderful aromas, can all be used on babies over the age of 6 weeks (to use essential oils prior to this age is not recommended) and work well with massage.  

The Bod for Bubs range also has cream based products which also contain a blend of essential oils such as calendula, chamomile and lavender, which can be applied directly to the skin to promote skin healing where skin is prone to eczema and nappy rash.  These essential oils are anti inflammatory and can soothe raw skin.
