Basa Body Products For 40 Something Moms

I have previously mentioned that I have lived with eczema my whole life.  This skin condition has become worse duing my forties, so I have made lifestyle changes to make sure the summer season which means heat does not impact my hands, legs, arms and face with eczema breakouts.

I have always been concerned with the ingredients in products I use. When I learned of the Mom It Forward Fundraising Campaign for Basa Body (named after the women of Mombasa) I checked out their site to learn more about these products that use organic virgin coconut oil from wild coconuts harvested along the coast of Kenya.  Their ingredients are 100% natural and hypo-allergenic.

I noticed this sentence in the description of the Basa Body Stick, “Try it to sooth skin irritated by eczema or psoriasis“.  I recently received the Basa Body Natural Cocounit Oil Body Lotion and the Basa Body Stick.  The Body Lotion is very rich in a white cream that glides on the skin.  This worked well after a shower and throughout the day, especially before a workout at the gym on my knees and elbows that are dry with cracked skin.  The scent is a mild coconut that is not overpowering, a nice subtle notice that lingers for awhile.

This body lotion also contains Citric Acid, Purified Water, Stearic Acid, Vitamin E, Rosemary Oil Extract, Glycerin and Emulsyfing Wax NF.  The body stick has a small amount of natural beeswax to the oil.  The stick is  a small healing balm.  At first I could not figure out how to get the contents out of the stick so I used it like deodorant and rolled it onto my arm.  My arms have scratch marks from when I scratch in my sleep.  They are itchy at various times of the day and night.  This only happens during warm weather.  The Basa Body Stick took away the itch with one swipe on my arm.

I realized a few hours later that my arm was healing nicely and not red and oozy.  The next day I dipped my finger into the tube to put some on the back of my neck.  It was exposed to the sun the previous day at a fair, feeling bumpy and irritated.  Although the stick is a bit greasy it worked out well.  It is recommended to store the stick in the refrigerator and I certainly can agree with this.  The stick is located in a clear tube that does get sticky after touching it.

I highly recommend these products for aging and itchy skin types.  The Basa Body Lotion is an anti-aging formula with natural antioxidants.  This contains six fluid ounces and should last a few weeks.  After some uses my container is down  two inches from the top.  On average I go through a tube of lotion in one weeks time.

Visit Basa Body to purchase their products.  A great gift option for Mother’s Day or Birthday.
