When you become a parent, everything changes even how you think about water. New parents take special care to shield their children from the organic baby lotion they use to the sterilization of every pacifier, they often go above and beyond. One thing many people do not consider when it comes to taking care of your baby is the water that is used during the bathing process. Certainly, tap water seems clean but we tend not to consider the many contaminants, and chemicals it can contain that can be harmful and tough on their fragile skin and developing body.
PureBlue is not just a lifestyle upgrade, it is essential for your family’s health! Here is why:
1. An Infant’s Skin Is Thinner and More Sensitive
A newborn’s skin is extremely sensitive compared to adults, about 30% thinner than an adult which makes it much more prone to irritation, dryness, and exposure to environmental toxins. During a bath, when your baby is exposed to chlorine, heavy metals, or minerals from hard water, it can cause or exacerbate:
- Dry patches
- Eczema
- Redness or rashes
- Scalp flaking
- Filtered water is milder and helps keep your baby’s skin’s natural barrier intact and hydrated.
2. Chlorine Exposure is Risky
Chlorine is typically applied to disinfect most municipal water supply systems upon gathering of the groundwater or surface water because chlorine is the most effective means of water disinfection. Chlorine is effective as a disinfectant but is extremely rough on babies, especially when they swallow it through skin absorption. When we get up in hot water in your shower, the chlorine in the water evaporates.
The heat of the warm water makes the chlorine evaporate and transform into particulates that we can breathe, and our babies. The eyes and lungs can be irritated by chlorine, and sensitive babies can be exposed to chlorine, which can cause possible respiratory illness like asthma. With a PureBlue shower filter, chlorine is stripped out, on average, 98%. This can make bath time safer and more enjoyable
3. Lowering the Chances of Allergies and Skin Issues
The association between early exposure to various chemicals and contaminants and chronic skin allergies, and hypersensitivity have been established. For infants with eczema, and/or a family history of allergic conditions- all of the above can be magnified with surface water or even unfiltered tap (tap) water. Filtered water can assist the skin by:
- Calming skin flare-up
- Preventing the next irritation
- Allowing your skin to heal, itself
Taking small steps in the early days can assist in building a stronger foundation for your child’s skin.
4. Protecting Their Hair and Scalp
It’s not only the skin, but the quality of the water that your baby is swimming in will also affect them in terms of their fine hair and developing scalp. Swimming pools and tap water contain chlorines and minerals which can make your baby’s hair brittle and dry and cause cradle caps or too much flaking. Filtered water will allow them to bathe freely while keeping their scalp hydrated and restoring the softness to their hair without added product.
5. Peace of Mind for Parents
As a new parent, you’ve got enough on your plate sleepless nights and incessant “what do I need in the diaper bag” lists. The entire process of installing a PureBlue shower filter only takes a few minutes, and right away you will notice a difference in quality for your baby’s bath and shower. An easy, one time change that gives you peace of mind day to day knowing your baby is bathing in cleaner and safer water.
