In this day and age, you will generally be able to find a natural alternative to just about anything. Products for babies are no exception. Here are a few that I have tried recently and some of my thoughts.
1. Babyganics SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen
My son is creamy white so sunscreen is vital. I love this product for its staying power and lack of nasty ingredients. I keep this in my purse for all occasions. My only issue is the difficulty I have rubbing it in. It is not great with absorption. By the time I’ve covered him in a nice protective layer, he’s not too happy with me. I miss the convenience of a spray sunscreen.
Do I recommend? Yes, if you don’t mind the white cast it leaves.
3/5 stars.
2. Shea Moisture BABY Chamomile and Argan Oil
First off, I will say that I am a huge fan of the Shea Moisture brand in general. I’ve used their products for some time and usually I’m impressed. Even when some something doesn’t work for me in particular, I can tell it’s a quality product. The baby line lives up to expectations. The healing lotion did wonders for my son’s dry skin patches and absorbs nicely. The only problem (and really this is a matter of personal preference) is the smell. There is something a little off for a baby product in my opinion. But this is a minor inconvenience that is worth dealing with for all the benefits.
Do I recommend? Yes!
4/5 stars.
3. Earth Mama Calming Lavender Foaming Wash
Earth Mama is a great brand. This shampoo smells wonderful and it really cleans up your baby effectively. There’s no yucky ingredients and I love the foaming pump. But… I HATE the squeaky, bar soap feeling it leaves on the skin. This is not moisturizing at all.
Do I recommend? Mmm… No. Not really.
2/5 stars.
4. Burt’s Bees Baby Calming Wash
Ahh Burt’s Bees! I rarely have complaints with regard to this brand. This includes their baby products. I particularly love anything containing lavender. This is great to use before bedtime or while teething because of its calming effects. Love, love, love!
Do I recommend? Yes!
5/5 stars.
