Eucalyptus and African Water Mint Baby Chest Rub by Shea Moisture for Unisex - 0.6 oz Ointment

This chest rub is a perfect alternative to Vicks, especially for a child that has sensitive skin. It is very smooth in application and there's a lot of product to get you and baby through a few colds without running out. I think this is perfect to apply at night before your baby/child goes to sleep.

I noticed this product contains eucalyptus oil, which I have read is not safe for babies. A quick Google search shows that Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, which is listed in this product, should not be used on children under 2 years old. Why did this company formulate this product with this oil?

My 9 year old son is always so hot at night and needs a water bottle of ice cold water to drink and a cold washcloth for his head every night as our bedtime routine. It's been this way for a few years. Now, granted we live in New Mexico, a dessert, but we do get snow every winter, however moisture is very low. My son is so active, always on the go and has a hard time relaxing to fall asleep at night because his body temperature is so hot. I came across Shea Moisture Eucalyptus & African Water Mint Chest Rub, intended for fussy babies. However, this Breath Free Chest Rub purpose of a cooling effect, the aromatherapy, and soothing application has been the perfect solution for helping my son fall asleep peacefully since I started this product. It's especially great for anyone to apply to skin where they may have accidentally gotten too much sun. Summer in NM has begun and I will never let this product run out. I'll always have it on hand. I'm amazed with this, I too use it after Sun and it WORKS!
