The Body Shop Buriti Baby Range

Nourish, nurture and help protect delicate baby skin with help from the delightful new Buriti Baby range. Create bonding opportunities with your precious bundle of joy using these baby products featuring buriti oil - an oil rich in beta carotene, pro-vitamin A, oleic fatty acids and essential fatty acids.

According to native South American language, 'buriti' means 'tree of life'. The buriti tree produces nuts rich in this unique oil, included in this range to help protect and care for precious baby skin. The gentle oil is used throughout South America for its beneficial properties, while some Brazilians add the buriti leaves to their bath water to help soften their skin.

The range also benefits from other naturally-derived, caring ingredients, many of which are sourced through Community Trade suppliers. Enhance your feel-good factor knowing that by using products from the Buriti Baby range, communities around the globe are benefitting from a fair deal.

All the products are pediatrician-approved, alcohol free, dermatologically-tested and suitable for sensitive skin, and contain no artificial colours or added preservatives.

1. Buriti Baby Body Butter

Spread love with this beautiful Body Butter containing buriti oil and a rich blend of gentle skin caring naturally-derived ingredients to keep baby's skin nourished, conditioned and protected. It benefits from Community Trade ingredients including organic olive oil from Italy and organically-grown soya oil from Brazil to smooth and soften skin, aloe vera from Guatemala to soothe, and shea butter from Ghana to help protect and soften skin.

Women in the villages in Ghana where The Body Shop® sources shea butter, apply it to their newborns though daily massages. They believe the massage helps the newborn babies relax, become aware of the world around them and increase parent-baby bonding.

So while you bond with your baby, a community in Ghana and its traditional way of life remain in safe hands through trade with The Body Shop®, which provides the women involved with the Tungteiya Women's Shea Butter Association with a fair income, for work in fair conditions.


2. Buriti Baby Body Lotion

A sensational talc-free skin softening lotion that not only moisturises to keep skin silky-smooth, but also absorbs into skin leaving a velvety, light powdery finish that comes from tapioca starch. It soaks up excess moisture and leaves a gentle barrier against dampness to keep baby comfortable.

The gentle and mild formula helps care for baby's delicate skin, leaving it soft, smooth and supple. Key ingredients include Community Trade organic olive oil from Italy, aloe vera from Guatemala, shea butter from Ghana as well as organic beeswax to moisturise and soften skin. Apply this lotion to baby skin daily to gently give it some extra care.

A gentle yet effective cleansing wash enriched with buriti oil to tenderly cleanse baby's skin. The mild and protective formula containing a Community Trade cocoa butter derived cleansing ingredient and buriti oil to help soothe, soften and protect, makes this a sweetly cleansing experience for your baby.


5. Buriti Baby Massage Gel

This beautiful, gentle gel can be used to massage, condition and nourish baby's skin. Baby massage makes both parent and baby feel happy and relaxed, while also enhancing bonding moments. Thanks to buriti oil from the Amazonian 'tree of life', moisturising Community Trade organic olive oil from Italy and marula oil from Namibia, your baby will not only enjoy quality time with you, but feel pampered in the process.

On a practical note, the gel format and bottle shape also mean the bottle can be knocked over or turned upside down and the product won't spill, which means worry-free massages.

And to complement the new Buriti Baby range, discover some fabulous accessories with soft and gentle natural fabrics and textures to care for baby's delicate and sensitive skin.


6. Buriti Baby Ultra Soft Wash Cloth

This wash cloth is the ideal accessory to create a lather with the body wash and shampoo. Because these products contain no synthetic lathering agents the fabric and water are needed to produce a lather. Buriti Baby Bamboo Hair Brush
