“Soft, like a baby’s bottom”… This saying only tells part of the story about babies’ skin. Of course baby skin is soft — it is the best!!! — but it is also delicate, fragile and needs to be protected from chemicals in our environment.
Skin is a very important multifunctional organ that provides our bodies with a barrier function, mechanical protection, thermoregulation, immune surveillance and it prevents the loss of body fluids. Healthy skin plays a role in keeping babies alive. It was previously thought that the skin barrier function reached its maturity at about 34 weeks gestation (still in the womb). However, recent data shows that newborn skin goes through a gradual process of maturity in its environment and continues to develop until 12 months after birth —that is all the way until their first birthday!!! Skin care is important during a baby’s first years of life as studies show that baby’s (6-13 months old) and toddler’s (17-24 months old) skin has higher skin reactivity and absorption than adults.
The newborn’s skin is very naturally sensitive, thin and fragile. The skin of the premature newborn is even thinner, therefore highly permeable. This increases the risk of toxicity from the absorption of chemicals. This skin is also more easily attacked mechanically. For example, a baby’s bottom is in constant contact with diapers and being wiped with baby wipes which can cause repeated removal of top layer of skin cells. This increases the permeability of the skin and chance of skin rashes and infections. The health of a newborn’s skin is so important to the overall health of the child.
Norwex’s Global Mission is to: “Improve quality of life by radically reducing chemicals in our homes.” This mission does not only apply to how we care for our homes but how we care for our bodies. The shelves at the supermarkets and drug stores are lined with chemical-filled baby products. Even with the knowledge of cancer-causing agents, these can still be found in some of the most “trusted” companies baby products. Isn’t it wonderful that Norwex provides alternative skin care products. Here are a few chemical-free products that will keep your babies clean and safe.
Baby Hooded Towel Set: It is the perfect size for babies and toddlers; it is super absorbent, super soft and super cozy, just what their sensitive skin needs. It is constructed with microfiber and has Norwex’s exclusive Baclock™ agent to inhibit odors from bacteria. It also comes with a matching face cloth.
Baby Body Pack: It comes with three baby-sized face or body cloths. They are super soft and gentle on your baby’s skin. They are constructed with microfiber and has Norwex’s exclusive Baclock™ agent to inhibit odors from bacteria growth.
Bubble Bath: All kids love bubbles at bath time!!! Norwex’s bubble bath is made from 3 natural ingredients — water, caprylyl/capryl glucoside (a natural foamer) & natural wild cherry fruit extract. It is non-allergenic, biodegradable and a gentle cleansing agent. Plus, it is FUN!!!
Body Lotion: This chemical-free lotion is good for the whole family and is certified by BDIH and NaTrue for its organic and natural properties. It smells wonderful and is loaded with a variety of natural botanicals like coconut oil, grape seed oil, aloe vera, sweet almond oil shea butter and vitamin E.
Take the time with your sweet baby to massage this wonderful lotion into their skin… they will feel loved & comforted, their circulatory system will be stimulated and you will be at ease knowing that there are no chemicals being absorbed into their perfect skin.

Norwex has 3 fabulous NEW bathroom products!
The first new product is the Pet to Dry — a silly name for the most fun hand towel ever invented. It was created for all the little kids in your life who avoid taking the time to wash their little hands, never mind, dry their little hands. “How do they do it?” you ask. They made the Pet to Dry irresistible!!! They are adorable & fluffy and all you have to do is pet it and your hands are dry. It comes in two styles – a pink pig & a yellow tiger. Like Norwex’s regular hand towels, these the Pet to Dry is made with BacLock™ technology works to self-purify the cloth and is constructed out of a soft chenille microfiber. It not only dries little hands quickly, but it is quick to dry as well. The best part of these soft, cute hand driers is, that it is an effective tool to help kids create healthy-hand-washing habits for the rest of their lives. Hang it on your washroom door knob or on the kitchen cabinets for quick and easy access!
Do you feel like a contortionist when trying to clean and exfoliate the skin on your back? The second new bathroom product is the Back Scrubber! There is nothing better than a good back scratch… except for an exclusive Norwex BacLock™ technology, microfiber, dual handle & easy-to-grip, quick-drying Back Scrubber. Not only is a good back scrub a guiltless pleasure, but Norwex’s new product also aids in the health of your hard-to-reach skin with deep-cleaning exfoliation to remove toxins and impurities and reveal radiant, clean skin. Great for your neck, shoulders, legs and feet. Your back will thank you (and maybe your spouse too)!
The third new bathroom product is the Bathroom Mat. Now it’s not completely new, but what is new is that it now comes in a graphite (grey) colour. It is still super absorbent, holding 10 times its weight in water, it still doesn’t slip on your bathroom floor because it is so thick, it still dries quickly and is super soft on your feet. It comes in three beautiful colours: teal, latte & graphite. Check out my previous post to get all the details on this fabulous bath mat & all its uses.
These new bathroom products will help develop healthy habits and aid in healthier lifestyles without adding any toxins to your bathroom routine. Doesn’t that sound wonderful???

Do you have a swinging shower door that drips water on your bathroom floor? Do you walk around your washroom with wet feet after a shower? Do your kids vigorously splash in the tub, leaving the floor a wet mess? Do you have a hot tub or swimming pool in the backyard and people traipsing through your home with wet feet? Do you have a puppy that comes in with wet paws and coat? Does your toddler throw cups of water out of the bath or does your baby’s thunder thigh make BIG splashes? Do you have a busy shower with teenagers and the bathmat is always wet? Are you just tired to bending over to dry your own feet after a shower? Maybe you have a senior in your life that can’t reach their own toes?
The Norwex Bath Mat is the solution! It holds 10 times its weight in moisture. That’s enough to catch drips off the door, dry many wet feet, absorb bath water spills, even dry the family pet. It is also absorbent enough to ensure that every family member’s feet are dry when they step off the mat. The moisture between your toes is even wicked up within seconds of stepping on the mat. To top it off, the Norwex Bath Mat dries faster than a regular bathmat. This Bath Mat is pure luxury!
The picture below is of my friend’s lovely feet stepping on a Norwex Bath Mat. She lives by the ocean – lucky girl – and makes good use of her mat. She used the shower head to drench her feet 5 times to be able to make her foot imprint visible. The first 4 times the mat didn’t even look wet. It is that absorbent!!!!
Do you have an RV? Did you know that the floor of your RV should not get wet. Wet floors could damage the floor by causing it to lift. Place the Bath Mat on the floor by your shower and every family member will walk out of the RV washroom with dry feet.
Have a outdoor swimming pool or hot tub? Put the Bath Mat at your back entrance to catch the drips and dry wet feet before they even enter the house. Do you have a washroom that is regularly visited after using the pool? Use the Bath Mat as your toilet mat to catch all the drips while in the washroom.
This Bath Mat is a top-seller for pet owners. It has so many uses. The Bath Mat can be used to line the bottom of the crate, not only does it dry your pet’s coat, it absorbs any accidents. Simply throw it in the washing machine, with a cap full Odour Eliminator and some UPP Ultra Plus Power Detergent and it will come out perfectly clean. If your dog comes indoors wet, lay the Bath Mat over their bed for them to lay on. The microfiber will absorb all the wet moisture off their coat, leaving the pet bed dry and clean.
I just returned from the Norwex North American Conference in Minneapolis and I am delighted to share that this fabulous bathmat is now available in three colors.
Another quick puppy paw trick: Hang a Norwex Dusting Mitt by the door to dry your puppy’s paws and legs when they come in after a long walk. Your hardwood or tiled floors will never be paw-printed again!
