5 Reasons to use Desert Flower Shampoo on your children

Finding a quality chemical free shampoo and body wash suitable for bathing a disabled child is not any easy task. Most Shampoos available, even those labelled as safe for babies had chemicals in them I wouldn’t use on my own body let alone a child’s. Sodium Laurel Sulphate seemed to be the base ingredient of every product we found in the Supermarket.

When our now 11 year old daughter was born we spent hours searching for chemical free shampoo for her to use. We tried several different brands. Some unfortunately did contain chemicals we were not in favour of. We were still trying to find an ideal tear free shampoo when we received the news our daughter had a disability that would warrant life long support.

Our daughters fascination with water and constant desire to mouth objects gave us even more reason to find a shampoo that was not intended for babies but would allow us to wash her hair without concern she would consume chemicals as we washed her.

When we discovered the Desert Flower Shampoo and trialed it with our Daughter we discovered it was the perfect choice.

Some of the reasons we continue to use this product on her today:

  1. Desert flower shampoo, made by Miessence, is an organic product without synthetic chemicals.
  2. It is made to Organic Food grade standards. Something very rare in the Cosmetic and Body care Industry. This was important to us because she consumes a lot of the product when she is being bathed. Kids love to chew on wash cloths and sponges. Although we don’t encourage her to consume the product, it is good knowing if she does it won’t harm her.
  3. Desert Flower Shampoo is a family shampoo. We don’t need to purchase a separate product for the kids and one for us. On occasion it has also doubled as a body wash when we have run out.
  4. No chemicals mean it’s a Tear Free shampoo. The look and Laughter on her when the lather runs all over her face with eyes wide open, that is worth an article on its own.
  5. Desert Flower Shampoo comes in a Travel Size and Sample sachet size, which make it easy when we have to go out or for when she goes to Hydrotherapy with her school.

The smell of Desert Flower shampoo is very mildly citrus. It is in no way overpowering and she gets compliments every day about how lovely her hair smells.
