I love wearing Indian ethnic wear on special occasions or festivals. A Saree is one of my favourite ethnic attire to wear during Puja or family get-togethers. Again in sarees, I have a soft corner for handloom sarees. The beauty and feel of these handwoven slow crafted sarees are truly mesmerizing. It was Durga Puja time and Diwali is also approaching in few days, hence I thought to buy a beautiful handloom saree to celebrate all these festivals with extra joy. Huts and Looms Tissue Silk Saree In case you are wondering what a handloom saree is, then let me tell you in brief. Handlooms are basically handwoven fabrics made on a weaving machine called a loom. Hence, the name comes from HandLoom. It is a slow-crafted process, as it needs the utmost patience, creativity, and physical strength to create a masterpiece.

| Top 10 Baby Massage Oil Brands Available in India |
During our grandma's time, they were applying homemade pure oil and some were also applying ghee. But now the time has changed, so many kinds of baby massage oil available from different brands. There are herbal ingredients diffused oil as well as mineral oil-based massage oil available. Both kinds of oil are good but I prefer herbal /natural ingredients based oil from my baby. Again you can choose according to the baby's skin. Baby's have the most delicate and sensitive skin, hence one should keep an eye on while applying any oil to the baby whether the baby is allergic or not.
There are so many benefits of messaging a baby.
1. Regular oil massaging makes the muscles and bones strong of a newborn baby.
2. Massaging enhances a baby's sleep routine, increases blood circulation, tones the body, relaxes the body, improves the growth of the central nervous system.
3. Massaging also helps in preventing stomach disorders and gas issues in infants.
4. Regular massage to infants helps in their body growth also.
5. Massaging builds a nice bond between the baby and the parents. (If the massaging is given by the parents).
There are so many baby brands available, hence I am compiling 10 best oils for a baby massage here. I have tried these in the case of both my kids and completely love the result.
1. Mother Sparsh Baby Massage Oil
 |
| Top 10 Baby Massage Oil Brands Available in India |
Mother Sparsh is a very familiar name in baby care products. I have been using their wet wipes since my baby was born. Now they have added the ayurvedic baby massage oil to their plant power range. For a month now I am using Mother Sparsh massage oil for both my kids and we are loving it. The oil has the goodness of 18 natural extract oils that are Almond, Coconut, Sesame, Avocado, Olive, Jojoba, Lavender, Orange, Wheat germ, Rosehip, Sunflower, Walnut, Shankhpushpi, Durva, Ashwagandha, Tagar, Tamalpatra, and Lajjalu. All these natural ingredients help to provide extra nourishment and soothe the baby’s tender skin. It is free from toxins and is completely safe for the baby. This product has been formulated with the ayurvedic decoction process to provide skin-strengthening as mentioned in Ayurveda.
The almond oil, olive oil, and coconut oil present in this massage oil helps to improve the skin texture and fight against the dry nature of the skin. While Ashwagandha has antioxidant properties that protect skin from damage and Shankhpushpi has skin moisturizing properties. Walnut seed oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil are effective against any kind of skin problems and fungal infections. Sesame oil and Rosehip oil have anti-inflammatory properties that help in skin healing and orange oil helps to repair dry skin well. Like this, the other infused oils in this natural baby massage oil helps to nourish skin and make skin look healthier and feel healthier.
Currently, I am using this massage oil for my one-year-old son and there are no skin allergies or rashes after applying this. The oil has a very mild herbal fragrance which doesn’t bother the baby's sensitive nose at all. Again the oil is so lightweight and non-sticky. It absorbs into the skin within minutes. The moisturizing effect lasts for a longer period after the massage which is a good point. You can massage the baby 2-3 times a day. This oil by Mother Sparsh is a very nice option if you are looking for a natural and ayurvedic massage oil for your baby. I think this is the best oil for baby’s skin.
