Baby Skin: Lavanila - The Healthy Baby Butter

Joanna Canton — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 21:38:04 +0000

Oh, baby! I love The Healthy Baby Butter from Lavanila. I’ve been loving Lavanila products for myself for a couple of years and now I absolutely love their baby line as well. While I’m at it…my Lavanila faves are The Healthy Deodorant and The Healthy Body Wash 2-in-1 Shower and Shave (I’ve reviewed both products on MySkinAffair). And my favorite scent of Lavanila’s is the Vanilla Coconut. It is just, oh, so delicioso! Mmm…good. Back to Lavanila’s baby line! The Healthy Baby Butter is a fantastic body cream for your little one. It’s got a very subtle baby scent that’s sweet and lovely. The Healthy Baby Butter is 100% natural, with 30 vitamins and minerals. It’s pediatrician approved, chemical-free, hypoallergenic and certified organic. The quality of this product is exactly what I would want for my own baby and for the babies in my life that I love. Your baby deserves to have awesome products in his/her awesome little life. Start your baby off with quality skin care products. The Healthy Baby Butter also serves as a great product for adults with sensitive skin. I’ve been keeping a tube in my purse lately and using it throughout the day on my hands. Add Lavanila’s Healthy Baby Butter to your list of “must have” baby products.

Baby Skin: MD Moms Baby Silk Babysafe Sunscreen Towelettes

Joanna Canton — Tue, 10 May 2011 20:51:56 +0000

I’ve been a fan of this product for a while now. It’s such a genius product that’s not only effective but really makes sunscreen application easier with your little one’s. And…it’s a truly multi-purpose product. In my opinion, this is an essential product for a parent to carry in their diaper bag, especially when their baby is going to be out in the sun. The very best example of when these Sunscreen Towelettes would shine the most in the category of “amazing multi-purpose product” is at the beach with your little one when it’s time to wipe down sandy bodies and faces. Wipe down with MD Moms Babysafe Sunscreen Towelettes, SPF 30. Hanging out by the pool after lunch? Clean off your little one with these wipes and there’s no need to worry about reapplying sunscreen. How fabulous is that? Then there’s the most common, daily way of using this product…simply wiping down your little one each day before you head outdoors with this sunscreen, to protect that sensitive baby skin from future sun damage. Each wipe has enough sunscreen to cover the average 2 year old from head-to-toe. The Baby Silk Babysafe Sunscreen Towelettes are terrific. They are hypoallergenic, water resistant and sweat proof. Also, they’re safe for young infants. I love the MD Moms products!

For Kids: BodyTopia Monsters Away Spray

Joanna Canton — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 16:56:48 +0000

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s closet monsters. What do closet monsters have to do with skin care, you might be asking yourself? A lot! When I interviewed Bridget Marquardt (read Bridget’s interview) she mentioned a BodyTopia scrub that she loved. When I checked out BodyTopia, I saw that they had Monsters Away Spray and I had to have it. I would have absolutely loved to have had this product when I was a kid. In fact, I think I might still need it. Since I’ve had this spray, I’ve had NO monster problems. Before this spray, it was monster mayhem in my house. The Monsters Away Spray is guaranteed to scare away stubborn monster’s and the boogeyman. It says so right on the bottle! I know, I was surprised too. But, believe it! And the great news is that the spray works in all problem areas. I only had a monster issue in my closet but this spray also works under beds. I keep my bottle of Monsters Away Spray on my nightstand, so that it’s always handy. Since I’ve been using it…no more monster issues. But, I want to be prepared just in case another monster issue arrises. I will be armed and dangerous! Also, this spray comes with a friendly monster finger puppet. Fun, fun, fun! BodyTopia says that the Monsters Away Spray is guaranteed to eradicate monsters, and it really does. Such a fabulous idea!. I love it!

Baby Skin: California Baby Calendula Everyday Lotion

Joanna Canton — Mon, 10 May 2010 18:32:46 +0000

This month I’m recommending the California Baby Calendula Everyday Lotion for your beautiful baby. With the soothing and healing properties of Calendula and a fresh French Lavender scent, this lotion is a “must have”. Calendula Everday Lotion is lightweight and absorbs well. Made for the face and body, it’s safe for your newborn and I have a feeling you’ll be using it on yourself as well. I am! In my interview with Emily Procter, Emily mentioned that she loves using the California Baby line on her sensitive skin. Now that I’m using California Baby, I love it too. The Calendula Everyday Lotion is a wonderful product. I love the way it smells and I love the way it feels on my skin. Enjoy!

Product info: For sensitive and dry skin.

Baby Skin: Burt’s Bees Baby Bee Bubble Bath

Joanna Canton — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:52:30 +0000

Bubble bath time! The best thing about Burt’s Bees is that you can find it almost anywhere these days. I’ve been a huge fan of Burt’s Bees for years. Emily Procter recently mentioned that it’s one of her favorite products in her interview for My Skin Affair. I have to say, after all of these years, the Baby Bee scent smells just as good and comforting as it did the first time I smelled it. It’s not a scent that you ever get tired of. It makes the bath water smell really great, along with the entire bathroom. Yes, I’m recommending it for your little one, but it’s also great for you. In fact, I just got out of a Baby Bee Bubble Bath myself about an hour ago. I love it! It’s so gentle and it makes my skin feel so soft…like a baby. Plus, it’s got that fabulous scent that is so comforting and relaxing. Yes, your baby will love it…but I suggest buying a bottle for yourself as well. It’s inexpensive, available all over the place and it’s a really great product. There’s no better place to be than in a warm bath, covered in bubbles that smell as good as the Baby Bee Bubble Bath. Enjoy!

Product info: Tear free, 99.08% natural and paraben-free.

Baby Skin: MD Moms Baby Silk Gentle Scalp Rub

Joanna Canton — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 21:55:29 +0000

Guest review by Shannon Brazil.

Once again MD Moms delivers the goods via Baby Silk Gentle Scalp Rub, a buttery lotion with an irresistible scent that combats the nasty crud known as cradle cap! Baby Silk is made of natural oils which wash away clean leaving baby’s precious head flake-free and residue-free. Simply massage onto baby’s scalp at bath time, leave on for a minute or two, remove cradle cap with a damp washcloth and rinse - it’s that easy. Follow the treatment with your usual shampoo. This product is safe for the tiniest of newborns yet remains effective right up to the toddler years. After traveling through harsh winter weather, my 20-month-old twins were left with dry, itchy scalps. In just one use, Gentle Scalp Rub stopped flaking in its tracks and restored moisture to their hair. It was a great alternative to my usual approach of obsessively removing flakey patches by hand until one, both or all of us cried, because no matter how I try picking cradle cap it only ever makes it worse. I’m thrilled to report cradle cap is now conveniently manageable with Baby Silk Gentle Scalp Rub. Thank you, MD Moms!

Product info: No animal testing and hypoallergenic.

Joanna Canton — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:49:18 +0000

Sweet baby! The scent of the Noodle & Boo Soothing Body Wash instantly reminds of the first time I held my nieces and nephew. It has that wonderfully fresh newborn baby smell. That smell that is like no other…sweet baby. Pediatrician-tested, Noodle & Boo is extra gentle for sensitive skin. A significant portion of Noodle & Boo’s profit is set aside for children’s charities. Love that! Noodle & Boo’s line offers complete care for newborns, babies and children with eczema and sensitive skin. I’m recommending the Soothing Body Wash for your favorite little one this month. My favorite little one’s (Gracie, Anna and Scott) will all be treated to Noodle & Boo. And, by the way….how cute is that product name? Noodle & Boo are the nicknames of the founder’s children. Enjoy pampering your sweet baby!

Product info: Dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic and cruelty free.
