VMV Hypoallergenics has been making some of the most exhaustively researched and tested skin care products in the world since 1979, but only recently did it get into the child care business. And we're thankful that it did.
VMV is the brainchild of a research-oriented, well-published dermatologist-dermatopathologist (in layman's terms, that's someone who studies skin disease at a microscopic level). VMV created its line of Mom & Baby products when many of its employees became first-time parents (and grandparents) and were frustrated by the lack of truly hypoallergenic products available for
children. With love and attention to the special needs of a child's sensitive skin, VMV set out to raise its own bar, creating its safest, most hypoallergenic line of products yet: they are the first to
be rated VH-65, meaning they are free of all 65 known allergens.
VMV's Grandma Minnie's Big, Brave Boo-Boo Balm is an ouchless formulation intended to fight infections that can occur as a result of eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, wounds, cuts, grazes, insect bites and minor burns. It contains monolaurin, a mild yet powerful coconut-derived antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and antiprotozoal (protozoa are unicellular microorganisms) that is clinically proven to be as effective at killing micro-organisms
as 70% isopropyl alcohol. But unlike primarily alcohol-based products, VMV's formula won't dry out skin -- in fact, it moisturizes
while it works. Big, Brave Boo-Boo Balm is gentle yet effective enough for all skin types and for children (and their parents) aged 0 and up. Not only is it VH-65, but it's also non-comedogenic so it won't clog pores and 100% free of all fragrances, preservatives, parabens and phthalates.
VMV patch tests both every product it makes and every single ingredient that goes into its products. It conducts evidence-based clinical studies, both in vitro (in its own and independent laboratories) and in vivo (using voluntary human subjects with relevant skin disorders in actual use conditions: the gold standard, which is not easy to do and not very common). Of course, VMV never tests its products on animals.
VMV's packaging is beautiful and elegant, making it a thoughtful gift. |
