Mother Me
Muti Oils
By Tonie Minsal
I asked Melina Macall where she got the unusual name for her
company,
Muti Oils;
she explained that Muti is a term given to the remedies made
by traditional healers in South Africa, as well as meaning "Mother" in some parts of
 Europe.
Muti's Baby Soap
($5 per bar) is nice - moisturizing and lightly fragranced. I
thought I detected little herbal scrubby bits in there too…
looking on the label, I found these to be chamomile flowers.
The Baby Bath Oil ($16 for 4oz) is an interesting
blend of lavender and pine essential oils in a grapeseed oil
base. I like the light fragrance - it was different.
Muti also
makes a Baby Massage Oil ($16 for 4oz) which has
essential oils of lavender and Roman chamomile in a grapeseed
oil base. This oil is meant to be helpful with colic as well
as with assisting your little ones off to dreamland; there are
tips on infant massage included on the tag.
The Eczema Care
For Kids ($24 for 4 oz.) is a nice little product. The
base of grapeseed, rosehip, and other oils blends nicely with
lavender and Roman chamomile essential oils, resulting in a
nice, light, penetrating oil. While not eczema, I tried this
oil on a rashy hive, and it was pleasant and soothing.
