BABY SKIN CARE THAT’S
SAFE ENOUGH TO EAT
What started out as a search for a
solution to her daughter’s persistent
eczema became Jo Lauren, the
first baby skin care and bath
collection fully made with food-grade
ingredients. Founder of Jo Lauren,
Jolene Liow, successfully created her own formulation to soothe her child’s
rashes after everything she tried on the market failed to solve the problem.
It was then that she realised the dearth of organic products out there that was
effective for baby skin.
Now, Jo Lauren has a line of eight
products suitable for babies’ and
toddlers’ sensitive skin that are
preservative- and toxin-free, and yes,
safe enough to eat, literally! From baby
wash to baby massage oils, all of Jo
Lauren’s items are made from natural
and edible ingredients and are
superior in purity and quality,
as compared to cosmeticgrade ingredients.
We are big fans of the Baby
Miracle Balm, the signature
product in the range and the
one responsible for treating
Jolene’s daughter’s eczema.
Made from calendula, plantain
leaves and elderberry extracts,
the balm soothes, protects and,
well, tastes great!
YOUR CHILD’S CANVAS, YOUR BEAUTIFUL WALLS
In the past, maintaining pristine walls with an imaginative and playful child in
the home was next to impossible. You would wake up one day and discover your
child with a bunch of crayons and a trail of colourful destruction on your walls.
The new DULUX Wash & Wear with its new KidProof Technology promises to
change that!
Formulated with a unique protective layer that resists and repels tough stains,
the new DULUX range lets you easily wipe off stains, dirty patches and marks
with just a damp cloth and detergent, instantly making your wall look as good
as new again.
“A great deal of research and
development has gone into making
DULUX Wash & Wear with KidProof
Technology a superior washable paint
that grants long-lasting colour that
does not fade off with each lean. DULUX
Wash & Wear is also low in odour and
free of lead and mercury, ensuring the
young ones a safer and cleaner freedom
of expression,” shares Jeremy Rowe,
the Managing Director of AkzoNobel
Decorative Paints for the South East &
South Asia region.
So, go ahead. Let your walls become
your child’s canvas of imagination!
The new DULUX Wash & Wear with
KidProof Technology retails at S$23 for
a one-litre can and S$82 for a five-litre
can. Prices are before GST.
