Gaia skin naturals GAIA Skin Naturals began back in 2002 with the GAIA Natural Baby was launched. My little boy Joshua was born with very sensitive skin and developed eczema when he was just 8 weeks old. I tried numerous skin care products and most of them just made his eczema worse and I couldn’t use them at all. At the time my family lived on a certified organic produce farm (which was sold in 2006) and we lead a natural lifestyle so when I was told that cortisone was my only option I set about finding a safe and natural way to care for his skin. I consulted my herbal books and started to research which herbs and oils would benefit Josh’s skin. I also was also advised by many health care professionals which ingredients to avoid as they are well known to irritate sensitive and irritated skin. I was astounded to find these ingredients in majority of the baby skin care products I had tried. This lead to the development of GAIA Natural Baby commercially, skin care specifically targeted to be moisturising and free from those ingredients that are known to irritate sensitive skin, making them eczema friendly.
