Review of Shikai - Borage Childrens Lotion 8 Oz

Shikai - Borage Childrens Lotion 8 OzOur daughter is 6 mos. old and has had pretty severe eczema for most of her life so far. We bought this as yet another experiment to see if it would help her skin, and unfortunately it was clear right away that it wasn't going to work. While I love the way it smooths onto her skin, after about 20 minutes her skin always turns an inflamed red and breaks out into what look like hives. From there, the cycle begins and is really bad for about the next 24 hours. Some lotions just irritate her skin temporarily, but this stuff really seems to do a number on her. To me, it seems to suffocate her delicate skin as it is SO oily. So I've already had to retire it to the "rejected" pile, after using it just 5 or 6 times.

On the bright side, this lotion is great for my skin! Granted, I don't have eczema or skin issues at all, just your average occasional dry spots. But it feels really nice and smells good, and for the price, I'll definitely be using every drop!

So all-in-all, I do think this is a nice enough product, just not for the intended purpose that it is advertised for.
