Here’s how I can help you!

Before you use me, let me explain what I’m made of…

...what you should check before using me!

Wearing a nappy can sometimes disturb the delicate balance of your baby’s skin in an area that’s already very sensitive. Without regular cleaning or airing (such as those occasions when a nappy change just has to wait), even the slightest irritation can lead to redness or rash. In moments like this, Halykoo Nappy Cream Spray with zinc oxide can help to heal the skin.

I’m an emulsion spray, which ensures a gentle application onto sore skin. The zinc oxide has been micronised (to tiny liquid

droplets) so that it is distributed evenly. My 3 main ingredients are zinc oxide, avocado oil and almond oil sourced from certified organic growers. These ingredients work together natural-ly to create a fine, dual-action protective film: the zinc oxide helps to reduce the redness while the blend of oils moistur-izes, enabling the skin to heal. I also have 2 unsaturated fatty acids, Omega 6 and 9, to promote the production of sebum, a physiological function which occurs in older children but is not yet fully devel-oped in infants.

Make sure your baby’s skin is clean and dry. Check the use-by date, which you’ll find printed on my box and spray bottle. Once I’ve been opened, use me within 6 months.

Solutions designed specifically to share the journey with you and your child through each stage of his or her development. Because the best way to help them thrive is to keep it simple, use common sense, and also take a few precautions.Looking after children isn’t just about nursing them. It also means understanding their needs, listening to what’s important to their parents, and following the advice of paedia-tricians, as well as providing solutions that put their well-being and their parents’ peace of mind first. It means researching a myriad of ingredients to find the ones that are best-suited to their health needs and to ensure that treatment is a pleasant experience for them. It also means choosing solutions that are specifically designed for each phase of their development. Because seeing smiles on the faces of children, and on those of the people who care for them as they grow, are the best possible reward for Halykoo.

Research with babies in mind.

SENSIA Drinking from a used glass, rubbing dirty hands in their eyes or putting a leaf from the park in their mouth: these

are just a few of the things that children do with-out giving it a moment’s thought. A child’s immune system is still developing, so the re-sult can be a mouth or eye infection. Whether it’s mouth ulcers, oral thrush or conjunctivitis, Halykoo’s Sensia range of specifically designed products has the solution.

DERMA Skin is our first point of con-tact with the world around us. In the first 12-14 months of your child’s life, their skin

is about half the thickness of yours, so great care needs to be taken to protect it. Halykoo’s Derma line is the first range of products de-signed to care effectively for all the needs of your child’s skin. Redness, inflammation, chapping, insect bites, and small injuries can be causes of concern on a daily basis, and Halykoo Derma has the answer to all of them.

NUTRA School, sports, extra-curricular activities – children have in-creasingly busy days, and the change of seasons can also

mean tiredness and loss of appetite. Children are also susceptible to stomach flu caused by viruses, bacteria and parasites. Halykoo’s Nutra food supplements, including probiotic products, can help your child make the most of their energy, and ensure that the intestinal flora in their stomach is restored.

There are a variety of viruses that can cause the common cold. And wind, cold weather or badly-ventilated and over-

heated rooms can irritate the throat. And as the nose and mouth can’t be covered up, they’re always vulnerable to external threats. Halykoo’s Aera range of products have been specifically created to deal with the effects of respiratory infections, helping to fight off sore throats, coughs, cold and fever.

Clean, moisturized... and pampered skin!

Fresh air

Mums and Dads, your body’s skin (or epidermis) is pretty tough. Its outside layer covers an average area of 2 square metres and weighs around 2.5 kilograms. It’s constant-ly regenerating: in one month, your body com-pletely replaces every skin cell, and you shed around 45 kilograms of it over a lifetime. The thickness of the skin varies from less than 1 millimetre thick on the eyelids to 4 millimetres thick on the heels of your feet.However, your child’s skin is thinner than yours. In the first 12–14 months of a baby’s life, it’s about half the thickness, so more care is re-quired to protect it properly. As with all other physiological functions, even a baby’s skin has to be ‘trained’ to prepare it for its life ahead.For example, when the temperature allows, re-moving excess layers of clothing and letting the skin breathe helps it to find its balance and fulfil its many functions, protective and otherwise.

Your baby’s skin is vulnerable and very delicate. Keeping it clean, moisturized and well protected will ensure that it grows strong and healthy.Let’s talk about cleaning first. Always use mild cleansers made specifically for babies. Their skin is already subjected to germs, dust and chemi-cals, so it’s important to use products that are gentle enough for them.The next stage is to moisturize. External factors like cold and wind, dry environments or even just the ammonia in urine can irritate and dehydrate the skin, making it chapped and dry. Nourishing with moisturizers will help it to heal and in-crease its resistance to germs and infections.Last of all, wrap it in a blanket of softness. A good cream with natural extracts is the perfect way to pamper your baby’s skin. Apply a thin lay-er throughout the day – your gentle touch will be the best protection.

During pregnancy, the baby’s skin is protected in the amniotic fluid by a layer of sebum and skin called the vernix caseosa, a white film that disappears shortly after birth. Sebum pro-duction stops almost instantly, which explains why a baby’s skin can be quite dry in the first few months. As melanine production has not yet started, and since the skin is very thin, an external substance such as the artificial colour-ing in a felt-tip pen can be more dangerous for a little one than for an older child. Of course, even when your child is no longer an infant, it’s impor-tant at any age to avoid prolonged exposure to strong sunlight and wind. That aside, fresh air can only do a world of good. In addition, an infant’s skin is a prime target for mosquitoes, due to perspiration and body tem-perature. If your child is stung, a good remedy is to apply ice to the bite to minimise swelling. You can also use an astringent cream or lotion. These remedies will lessen the itching and infec-tions caused by excessive scratching.

What’s the secret of my ben-eficial effect? That’s simple. It’s all about the balanced mix of my ingredients – or-ganic chamomile extract, boron nitride and menthyl

lactate, which all join together to pleasantly refresh the skin while alleviating the feeling of hotness. Meanwhile, oat essence, extract of basil and beta glycyrrhetinic acid make a good team when it comes to calming the sensation of burning and itching that goes with insect bites, so that your child’s sleep is undisturbed.On top of that, I don’t contain lactic acid, one of the substances that attracts mosquitoes in a big way. My extra-delicate formula is suitable for chil-dren – it’s been made and studied for use on the delicate skin of little ones! That’s just an-other reason for you to have confidence in me – so you can use me from 3 months of age!

Before bedtime or naptime, take a small amount of cream and massage me gently into your child’s skin. Apply me to his face and all over his body, especially on his legs and arms, which are insects’ favourite tar-gets when they’re not covered up! Contin-ue to rub me in lightly until I’m completely absorbed. Make sure to clean my applicator after each use, so I’ll always be at the ready!

…lastly, just a few things to be aware of…!Keep in mind that I’m for children over the age of 3 months.I’m a cosmetic product for application to the skin, for external use only. Do not use me on broken skin.Don’t apply me near the eyes, the mouth or mucous membranes. In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with running water until I’m completely gone.My formula has been dermatologically test-ed to minimise the risk of allergic reactions, but if you notice anything unusual or any undesirable effect after the first application, avoid further use and consult your doctor.

Before you use me, let me explain what I’m made of…

...what you should check before using me!First of all, make sure my packaging isn’t damaged and always check my use-by date (it’s on my tube and on the bottom of my box). It’s only valid if my packaging is intact

INGREDIENTS: AQUA, GLYCERIN, AMMO-NIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYLTAURATE/VP COPOLYMER, OLETH-20, TAPIOCA STARCH, BORON NITRIDE, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, GLY-CYRRHETINIC ACID, PHOSPHOLIPIDS, HY-DROXYPHENYL PROPAMIDOBENZOIC ACID, CHAMOMILLA RECUTITA EXTRACT, ETHYL-HEXYL GLYCERIN, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, TROPOLONE, ALLANTOIN, OCIMUM BA-SILICUM HAIRY ROOT CULTURE EXTRACT, PVP, ARGININE, MENTHYL LACTATE, PPG-26-BUTETH-26, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, PEG-40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL, TRISODIUM ETHYLENEDIAMINE DISUCCINATE, CITRIC ACID, BETA-GLUCAN, SODIUM BENZOATE, 1,2 HEXANEDIOL, GLUCONOLACTONE, CALCI-UM GLUCONATE.

During the early years, your child’s skin is of-ten at the mercy of insects – day and night – both at naptime and bedtime!His sensitive skin becomes a soft target for dive-bombing mosquitoes just waiting to bite, causing redness and sensation of burn-ing. This discomfort is even worse when heat and itching caused by bites go hand in hand.That’s why Halykoo thought of me – I’m Halykoo Sweet Dreams Cream with oat es-sence. What’s my job? To bring cooling and lasting relief to your little one’s skin, and if he’s bit-ten, to make sure he gets his rest by alleviat-ing the sensation of itching and burning.Use me before he goes to sleep – I’ll provide a pleasant feeling of freshness, and the mix of my ingredients will activate and soothe the discomfort caused by mosquito bites.

You’ll see! I’ll be a sweet gently-soothing cuddle. So you and your child can say good-bye to hot disrupted nights for good!

and I’ve been stored correctly. By the way, once you’ve opened me, make sure to use me within 6 months!

Mosquitoes really love children’s skin, because their blood is exactly where they can find a wealth of Vitamin B, lactic acid and fatty acids.The tiger mosquito specifically is a very ag-gressive type. For one thing, it can penetrate clothing and bites during daylight hours, unlike common ‘nocturnal’ mosquitoes, injecting a particularly toxic liquid into the skin.You can reduce the risk of being bitten by in-stalling screens in the windows of your house, or using products specifically designed for the sensitive skin of children. If your child does get bitten, a good remedy is to apply ice, wrapped in a soft cloth, directly to the swelling caused by the mosquito bite: by doing this, the vasocon-stricting action of the cold acts as an anaesthe-tising and soothing remedy, although of course ice isn’t always readily available. To reduce swelling quickly, it’s also a good idea to use as-tringent products – which ease itching and also help prevent infections.

Be there with lots of cuddlesYour child’s infected throat can heal with the help of a soothing spray, as well as making sure you wash their nose regularly to keep it clean and loosen mucous.

And finally, don’t for-get to give them lots of cuddles!

Do you know which viruses to stay away from?

AERAWarm, dark and wel-coming, the upper airways are an ideal place for cold viruses to thrive. The nose, the pharynx, the epiglottis and the larynx – these are the first areas they reach, before infiltrating the only entrance into the lower airways and then the alveoli in the lungs. These parts of the body serve various an-atomical purposes, such as speech production and the regulation of body heat, but their func-tion is first and foremost a protective one. Eye lashes and nasal hairs stop the larger particles in the air from getting in. Larger quantities of mucous are produced when the upper airways are infected, while dust and microorganisms are expelled immediately. The tonsils also play a very important role in the immune defences of the mucous lining of the oropharynx, which is why it’s better to still have them.

There are hundreds of viruses that can cause the common cold, and a sharp wind or an over-heated, stuffy room can irritate the throat. When we cough or sneeze, we release tiny liquid particles (known as Flügge droplets) into the air around us at speeds of up to 180 kilometres per hour, and anyone within a few feet runs the risk of being infected. Germs can also be spread on your hands – sometimes we might forget to wash them after sneezing or blowing our nose. Occasionally, infections are transferred via the saliva on something a sick child has put in their mouth. If children are well wrapped up, playing outside in the winter doesn’t have to mean that they will come down with a sore throat or a cold. Quite the opposite, in fact: fresh air is always good for them.

Let them run their course, if you can!There is no specific treatment for viruses such as the com-mon cold. Once they have managed to make their way into the body, viruses acti-vate the immune system, which in turn releases a high-ly targeted attack on the in-fection. In their early years, a child’s defence system is less able to react and their immune response is less efficient because it isn’t yet fully developed. Children are born with a ‘clean slate’ when it comes to their immune system, purely because the antibodies that their bodies are perfectly capable of pro-ducing later in life have yet to come to the fore. So, however much of a pain they can be, sore throats and colds help a child’s immune defences to develop.
