Ayurveda Solution That Your Baby's Sensitive Skin Needs!

Pregnant and about to deliver, I was racing around getting everything in order before the baby arrived. I knew I would never have the time once my little one comes home.

One of the things that weighed on my mind was- what should I buy that would be safe for my baby’s soft and sensitive skin? An infant’s skin is so delicate that you are always worried if you are using the right product! I was in a dilemma- to follow the traditional way of child care or new age products that are all over the internet. There were these products that promised soft baby skin and that they were ‘made with the goddess of nature’. But were they actually 100% natural and preservative-free? Or Did they have chemicals to preserve their shelf life?

That’s when I chanced upon a range of products that ticked all the boxes for me, traditional yet new age – The Dasapushpam range of products for a baby and a new mom from the house of Aarshaveda.

What Is Dasapushpam All About?

Dasapushpam is a range of baby and mother care products offered by Aarshaveda Wellness Private Ltd, a third-generation ayurvedic startup based out of Kochi, Kerala. Dasapushpam literally means “10 flowers” and these 10 sacred flowers have a very important place in the healing & spiritual tradition of Kerala and its culture. Quite interesting right? Ayurved means “no chemicals”. And when it comes to babies, it’s best to keep those preservatives away! However, not all “natural” brands are 100% natural.

And so, I did a little research. Turns out, Aarshaveda has been built on a legacy of over 100 years of Ayurvedic knowledge. The founder of Aarshaveda, Venkatesh Anilkumar, has 3 generations of wisdom to fall back on. This ensures that the formulation of their product range is authentic and has stood the test of time. He started his journey in the baby and mother care range after 8 years of research! This is the part that made me trust their brand.

As they say, innovation is a result of adversity. When Venkatesh Anilkumar’s newborn developed rashes, he rushed to find an Ayurvedic solution but was shocked to see how Ayurveda had become so commercial! And that there was a bunch of wrong information floating everywhere.

An infant’s skin is sensitive, and he didn’t want to risk using other products. I totally understand his concern, as I was in a similar condition. He was keen on using an oil that was genuine, natural, effective and user-friendly, but couldn’t find any!

And so, with the help of his father, Dr Anil Kumar, an Ayurvedic vaidyan, managed to reinvent the traditional formulation of the Dasapushpam oil for babies and tested it on his own child. It worked wonders on his baby’s skin and scalp! And that’s how the Dasapushpam range of products came to be!

What Are The Range Of Products Available?

They have a whole range of products that are perfect for my baby – from baby oil to a lotion to a diaper rash serum. They are also launching their baby soap soon. I can’t wait for it!

They even have a “Mom Oil” as part of the Dasapushpam range, which helps pregnant women and new moms in skin rejuvenation.

All their products have fresh ingredients and hence have no artificial colour or fragrance. Their products do not contain any Chemicals, Artificial Preservatives, Phthalates, Dyes, Petroleum products or Petroleum byproducts like Parabens, Mineral Oils, Paraffin, Petrochems etc that may be harmful for the baby. Phew! That’s a long list. Can you imagine the harm products containing these can do to your little one?!

Thankfully, there is an all-natural, ayurvedic and traditional product that has been the go-to oil for baby’s in Kerala for generations! What’s more? The Dasapushpam Baby Oil is infused with the goodness of “Virgin Coconut Oil”!

The Dasapushpam Baby Lotion is hypoallergenic which makes it suitable for baby eczema and dry skin. Do you know what this means? It is one of the safest baby lotions out there!

I have heard horror stories of little ones wailing with painful diaper rash. I wouldn’t want the same for my baby and so, the Dasapushpam Diaper Rash Serum seems to be just what I need when those red welts and rash appear. This serum helps prevent diaper rash and other minor skin irritations (e.g., burns, cuts, scrapes). With the goodness of aloe vera, cocoa butter and vitamin E, this serum soothes and heals the rashes with ease.

Moms, don’t forget to take care of yourself! A happy mama is what your baby needs. Get a bottle of Dasapushpam Mom Oil! It helps prevent and heal dry skin, itching, rashes, stretch marks and scars and nourishes the scalp. It also promotes healthy hair growth!
