Sunflower Oil: The Safe and Effective Choice for Baby Massage
When it comes to choosing a baby massage oil, you might feel confused with all the options out there. Which one is safe to use on your baby’s sensitive skin? Which one provides the best nourishment? Are all oils equally good for your baby? We are here to tell you that all-natural oils are not made equal! And that Sunflower oil is one of the safest and most effective choices for a baby massage. Read on to know more. Your baby’s immunity system and skin barrier are not fully developed, which is why your baby’s skin is prone to infections and irritation. Sunflower oil contains Linoleic acid which is helpful for babies with sensitive skin. It is non-irritating and can be used on all skin types including dry, normal, oily as well as acne-prone skin. Packed with antioxidants, Sunflower oil strengthens your baby’s immune system. It also contains several other compounds such as vitamin E, oleic acid, sesamol, linoleic acid & others that have benefits for the skin and help healthy skeletal growth of the babies. Sunflower oil is a highly absorbent, non-comedogenic oil, meaning that it doesn’t clog your baby’s skin pores. As it allows their skin to breathe, it reduces the chances of acne or skin infections. Vitamin E in Sunflower oil helps to protect your baby’s delicate skin from harsh UV and prevents sun damage. For baby massages, it is recommended to use non-irritating natural oils in a safe ratio with a suitable carrier oil. Sunflower oil is one of the best carrier oils because of the properties mentioned above. When combined with other beneficial oils such as Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Turmeric Oil, Ashwagandha Oil, and Brahmi Oil, it makes for the most effective baby massage oil. We have crafted our Nourishing Baby Massage Oil as a perfect blend of 12 such natural oils to provide your baby with wholesome care. You need to be as picky with baby massage oil as you are with your baby’s nutrition! While the practice of massage offers multiple benefits, the choice of massage oil makes a big difference. Sunflower oil is a safe, effective, nourishing bet for your baby. Pair it with 11 other nourishing oils in our Baby Massage Oil, and you have a winner! Happy baby massage times ahead!

How to Choose The Best Premium Baby Skin Care Products for Your Little Ones
The coronavirus pandemic compelled us to redefine and rethink our priorities for personal care, including the care we provide for our loved ones and ourselves. The experience could have been even more enlightening for parents with young children. After the pandemic, parents of kids under 4 years old were more concerned with products that promised "natural" and "synthetic-free" ingredients. Consider the below factors when choosing premium baby skincare products: Natural Ingredients: Young parents often focus on natural and non-toxic ingredients that are safe. While choosing premium baby skincare, they prefer checking the product label for transparency, along with sustainable and environmentally friendly procedures. CITTA specializes in creating premium baby skincare products with natural alternatives to synthetic ingredients. CITTA’s safe and natural baby skincare range includes moisturizing baby balm, nourishing baby massage oil, talc-free baby powder, foaming baby shampoo, and foaming baby wash. Our gentle foaming baby shampoo has natural nourishing oils and oats as natural alternatives to silicone and sulphates. Natural oils nourish, hydrate, and condition your baby's hair and scalp, while oats act as an anti-irritant. To avoid dripping, we have used a foaming pump on the bottle to create foam, which is convenient and makes bath time more joyful. Safe and Gentle Formulas: Natural ingredients also put parents' minds at ease in terms of safety. They want to understand the ingredients in the products they buy for their young children or babies. They look for products that are gentle and mild on their baby’s skin. Purity and gentleness are synonymous with safety in baby care products. The natural oils from Grandma’s skincare regimen are CITTA's star ingredients. It is dermatologically tested and 100% grandma-approved. Within a year of its launch, CITTA has become a trusted name in the baby skincare market. Our 12-in-1 nourishing baby massage is India’s first baby oil with 12 natural plant-based oils. It is a blend of Sunflower Oil, Coconut oil, Almond Oil, Castor Oil, Sesame Oil, Turmeric Oil, Basil Oil, Olive Oil, Camphor Oil, Ashwagandha Oil, Brahmi Oil, Cinnamon Oil and Natural Vitamin E. The goodness of natural oils provides deep nourishment to your baby's skin and fights dryness. The unique blend of natural oils strengthens your baby’s bones, fortifies muscles, and promotes growth. It has anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties that help prevent rashes. Its safe and gentle formulation soothes your baby’s skin and provides moisture barrier replenishment. Skin Benefits and Protection: A newborn's skin is delicate and sensitive. Baby skincare products can help treat skin issues while preventing irritation. Parents today focus more on the ingredients that treat babies' dry skin conditions or contain ingredients that are good for the skin. Aloe, olive oil, coconut oil, turmeric oil, and other natural ingredients are preferred in baby skincare regimens. Maintaining fragrance-free or allergen-free baby care products helps prevent common skin allergies like eczema and diaper rash. Our unique formulation for babies and sensitive skin, CITTA's Moisturizing Baby Balm is India’s first baby moisturizer with a thick texture and has zero water, unlike baby cream and lotion. It is a blend of shea butter, vitamin E and 7 natural oils (Coconut oil, Almond Oil, Turmeric Oil, Basil Oil, Olive Oil, Camphor Oil and Rice Bran Oil) that keeps your baby’s skin nourished and provides a minimum of 7-8 hours moisturization. It has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that help prevent rashes. Recommended and loved by Doctors, CITTA’s Moisturizing Baby Balm is safe and effective, helps prevent dry skin conditions, and works wonders on sensitive skin. Emotional Wellness and Connection: Baby care provides parents with simple moments of joy and feelings, especially during trying times. There are several ways for new parents to bond well with the new-born. Just like oil massage strengthens the emotional bond and connection between baby and parents, bath time can also be playtime. Adding playful and joyful elements to baby care products can make them more interesting for both parents and babies. CITTA’s Tender Foaming Baby Wash and Foaming Baby Shampoo can make bath time more fun. The non-drying natural baby wash has the goodness of coconut powder extract, oats, rice protein, and aloe vera that cleanses, hydrates, nourishes and replenishes your baby’s skin. Oats and aloe vera act as anti-irritants to help prevent dryness and skin irritation. With creative and convenient foaming technology, CITTA has made bath time more joyful so that you can spend more time and emotionally bond with your baby. As per research, parents of 0-4-year-olds showed interest in baby care products that promote emotional well-being. Hygiene, immunity, and toxin-free: Although babies rarely contract COVID-19, parental concerns understandably persist. Before COVID-19, protective benefits were already important in newborn care, but their significance has grown. Parents become more cautious after hearing about the detrimental effects of talc and other harsh chemicals. They are looking for products that are toxin and harsh chemical-free. For example, specially designed for babies and loved by parents, CITTA’s talc-free baby powder has safe and natural alternatives to talc, such as corn starch, oat kernel flour, and kaolin clay, that soothe your baby’s skin and prevent rashes. CITTA’s entire range is free of harsh chemicals and toxins like parabens, sulphates, silicones, mineral oils, and allergens. CITTA’s sole objective is to combine our country’s traditional heritage with science while providing ease and convenience to every parent who needs to take care of their child.

5 Surprising Benefits of Using Castor Oil for Baby Skin Care
Castor oil has been a traditional baby skincare staple for a long time. Your baby’s skin is delicate and needs the right nourishment for good health. Castor oil can help you achieve this for your baby! Read on to know 5 surprising benefits of using Castor oil for your baby’s skincare: Excellent moisturizer Castor oil is known to deeply moisturize your baby’s skin and make it soft and supple. It is a great remedy for dry skin in babies. That is one of the major reasons why it’s a part of traditional baby care routines. Promotes hair growth Not just the skin, Castor oil is also said to promote your baby’s hair growth. It nourishes your baby’s scalp and hair. It also relieves irritation and moisturizes dry scalps. Prevents diaper rashes Diaper rashes are very common in babies. They are caused due to excessive moisture and bacterial/fungal growth in the nappy area. The moisturizing, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal properties of Castor oil in baby oil help in preventing diaper rashes on your baby. Relieves sunburn Applying Castor oil on your baby’s skin is also said to relieve sunburn. Good for baby massages Castor oil has natural anti-inflammatory properties. Its anti-inflammatory properties allow it to relieve sore muscles during baby massage. Baby massages also offer multiple other benefits for babies like improving skin texture, promoting bone strength and overall growth, and also better bonding with their mother or caregiver. Every baby’s skin is unique, so always remember to conduct a patch test before using Castor oil or any other oil regularly. Here are a few other precautions you should observe while using Castor oil for your baby’s skincare: Be careful to avoid application on or around areas such as the baby’s lips, nose, eyes, and genitals. Avoid application on broken skin as it can also irritate your baby’s skin. Consult with your doctor to understand what category of Castor oil is suitable for your baby – cold pressed, processed, etc. Make sure that your baby does not ingest the oil. We hope that with these tips, you will be able to understand how Castor oil can be beneficial for your baby’s skincare.

5 Common Myths about Natural and Non-toxic Baby Care Products
"Organic." "Natural." “Non-toxic." "Naturally-derived”. These sound like great terms when it comes to baby care products, right? Today, as a new parent, many informational resources are available to us, including the internet, other experienced parents, a bookshelf's worth of books, and our baby's pediatrician. On any baby care issue, though, we're likely to encounter a wide range of information—and not all of it is reliable. This misinformation, which ranges from what to do if the baby has a fever to how to introduce solids, can be more than just enraging; it can even be detrimental to the baby's health. As a result, it is even more important to avoid poor counselling. Here are a few common myths regarding safe, natural baby skincare products to debunk before the next paediatrician appointment. Myth #1 “Eco-friendly” or “non-toxic” means chemical-free #Truth The definition of "eco-friendly" is subjective. The term "eco-friendly" has no set meaning. Even the words "healthy" and "non-toxic" are equivalent. Look closer to determine if a product is healthier when you see an eco-friendly or non-toxic label. To learn about the ingredients of a product, look at the label and brand certificates. CITTA adheres to the principle of 100% transparency, so the ingredients we use are all listed on our product label. Myth #2 Natural ingredients do not release VOCs (volatile organic compounds), or if they do, they are not detrimental to health. #Truth Natural ingredients can release VOCs (gases that contain carbon). These VOCs can have the same effect on health as VOCs emitted by synthetic substances. Ensure that the natural ingredients used in the formulation are plant-based or of high quality and have passed stringent quality checks throughout the production process. Myth #3 “Toxic” ingredients aren’t toxic in baby care products because they’re in such small amounts. #Truth The above myth harkens back to an earlier conception of toxins. While discussing the detrimental effect of hazardous chemicals in non-toxic baby care products, we all know that our environments expose us to low-dose toxins daily. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals, often known as hormone disruptors, are a significant type of toxin that act in the body at lower levels than other types of toxins. Even in everyday life, these toxins are found in our food, drink, skincare, cleaners, and housewares. Babies are especially vulnerable because they have underdeveloped immune and detoxifying systems and are exposed to more diverse sources than adults (since they crawl around and put everything in their mouths). Myth #4 All-natural is 100% safe. #Truth Something is not necessarily safe just because it is natural, just like not all synthetics are dangerous. Any product that contains water or is applied by dipping fingers into the container (such as our moisturizing baby balm) is more likely to foster bacterial growth. These products need preservatives. Even if safer preservatives are available, it is not always a good idea to seek preservative-free products. CITTA's moisturizing baby balm contains 7 natural oils with anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which help prevent rashes on your baby's skin. These natural oils are derived from plants and undergo several quality checks. Even though they are natural, essential oils need to be utilized carefully. Certain oils should not be used on babies, as they can irritate their skin. CITTA’s Nourishing Baby Massage Oil is a blend of 12 natural plant-based oils that are safe and gentle on a baby’s skin. It prevents rashes and nourishes your baby’s skin deeply. Myth #5 Organic is good for babies #Truth The world has been swept up in the revolution of organic products. Organic refers to growing without the use of chemicals. However, it has often been found that the composition of organic products contains a lot of dangerous chemicals. In addition to being costly due to the "organic" label, there is no conclusive scientific evidence that organic products are beneficial. Don't just look for products that are organic; rather, look for baby products that are formulated with ingredients such as Natural Vitamin E, Sunflower oil, Soybean Oil, Coconut Oil, Basil, Almond Oil, Shea butter or Glycerine. Also, be mindful to pick a product that is free of harsh chemicals like paraben, sulphate, silicone, toxins, and mineral oil to ensure that the product is mild on your little one's skin. Just like CITTA’s entire range has the goodness of handpicked natural ingredients that are mild, gentle and safe for your baby’s skin. In today's world, consumer awareness regarding chemical-laden products is steadily growing, emphasizing the need for natural skincare products. More consumers are switching to premium and natural products. While more individuals are making the switch, many are also becoming aware of the chemicals used in skin care products and adjusting to a natural and safe skincare regimen. Especially for babies, parents are becoming more cautious about the products and brands they are using. They are looking for convenience while maintaining safety. We at CITTA consciously offer convenience, safety, and traditional skincare recipes from our grandmas that are natural, safe for your baby, and provide the best nourishment. Choose consciousness, choose CITTA!
