Dear Loretta

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to sample your product range of “Carla Riva” baby shampoos and lotions. I have found them to be of benefit to my son Johnny, though not a baby any more but a seven year old boy.

He has suffered with Childhood leukaemia and we have found the chemotherapy not only a trial but the demands of constant intravenous therapy very demanding upon his skin. He has suffered rashes and peeling making any sort of water therapy i.e. bath time very painful and unpleasant.

In using your products we found the barrier creams protective and gentle enough to put on his redden skin which was more than adequate for his pressure area care, due to the long periods in bed with hospitalisation. The bath gel was gentle enough not to make his peeling skin worse and did not cause any ophthalmic problems.

I would recommend your products to be used not only on infants but to any age group that has a sensitive skin type. The therapeutic benefits of your lotions including the lack of perfumes did appear to help decreased reddened areas from constant bed rest and also made shampooing a much more pleasant experience for the patient and the mother.

Thank you again
Yours sincerely
