Why seek a natural alternative? Every new parent understands the miracle of birth and the outpouring of emotions that accompany the bringing home of a new baby. Just one look, touch and smell of the baby's skin and hair tells us that we need to nurture and to protect the baby's tiny body. We think that natural ingredients are the only ingredients that we would put on our baby's soft skin. We think that you would too, if you had the right information.

In fact, many parents remain unaware that almost all mainstream products are potentially harmful to their babies. "No more tears shampoos" can contain numbing agents; baby talcum powder is a known carcinogen; most baby oils are mineral oil, which leaches moisture; cornstarch powders can encourage the growth of yeast and promote diaper rash; and bubble baths are the leading cause of yeast and urinary tract infections in children.

Additionally, products that are produced to treat certain infant skin ailments are so ineffective that doctors are generally forced to prescribe products such as athlete's foot treatment for diaper rash, cortisone creams for infant eczema and adult dandruff treatments for cradle cap. Since these products are formulated for adults and not babies, they can be damaging.

After extensive research and development, Little Forest has created two product lines focused on safety and effectiveness. Each of our products is a scientific blend of natural ingredients that have been carefully selected for their gentle efficacy, regardless of cost. Little Forest cares for your baby with botanical ingredients such as chamomile, tea tree oil, echinacea and aloe vera. We use these and other ingredients to create our Daily Botanicals, formulated to handle everyday bathing regimes through our simple and comprehensive 1-2-3 System, and our Therapeutic Botanicals, formulated to soothe minor infant skin ailments such as diaper rash, cradle cap, and eczema.

Little Forest products have been created for infants to share with the entire family. It is our belief that families should share the baby's milder hair and skin care products, rather than the baby sharing the adult products. Once Little Forest launched and pediatricians and hospitals discovered how safe and effective the products were, they began to recommend them. However, our greatest recommendations continue to come from parents.
