Natural Baby bath and lotions

I am shopping in preparation for the arrival of our twins. I would like to use all natural body products. I am wondering what you all use as far as bathing and lotion, etc.. Has anyone used Mustella? I would love your suggestions and what your bathing ritual is like.

 

We use California Baby. It's more expensive than the other baby lotions, but it is all natural and it works great. At first I thought the bottle was so small, but you just use a small amount. One bottle should last you a good while with twins. If you live near a Whole Foods they have a whole section with all natural baby supplies. I usually buy it at Target. It's a little cheaper there and sometimes it goes on sale.

 

I use Mustella. Ryan has eczema and the Mustela Stelatopia wash & lotion are the only things that keep it away.

 

I use Arbonne and Burts Bee's products. For a while baths were fast for us, they did NOT like them, lol. After a while though they started liking the warm water and we would wash them in the baby tub inside the big tub, then dry and put on baby lotion.

HTH

Thanks for this tip, Trish. My 7mo nephew was recently diagnosed with eczema and my sister has been struggling to find products she can use without exacerbating his condition.

 

i use mustela--body and face lotion, and just recently sunscreen

i don't love the smell, but everyone else seems to LOL

 

I use Earth's Best Lavender wash and LOVE the smell! It's soft and gentle, too. We use Erba Organics lotion... again, I love the smell so much that I don't mind the high price (it's a little indulgence to have my babies smell so yummy all day ).

 

We use Clearly Natural Glycerin soap Ingredients are Palm glycerine, Saponified palm oils (palm stearic acid and vegetable oleic acid and sodium hydroxide), purified deionized water.

We buy it in a 25 lb block for 68 dollars and I turn it into liquid soap it last a long time and it is GREAT

All my boys have eczema and I am allergic to a lot of harsh chemicals and preservatives that are in soaps and SLS so it works for us and last for along time.

We really do not use lotions anymore since we started using this on the babies too. They did get get chapped cheeks when they had a fever and were sick. We used a little burts bees and we did use some hydrocortisone but otherwise I have been using this for a year and decided to use it on the babies and my 2 year old also. It works any eczema my 2 year old had is gone and the babies had it when they were little too so we switched and it is gone too.
Products with SLS can dry and irritate skin and cause eczema.
Good luck
Also before we started using this my two year old would scratch his legs so bad cause of his eczema but now he doesn't scratch them anymore and all his patches disappeared

 

We use Arbonne, too. LOVE IT!!!

 

We use Arbonne & Burts Bees on our son & plan to use them on our twins as well. We use the Arbonne wash, moisturizer & sunscreen b/c our son had really bad eczema on his face. Since we have used it he has never flared up again, we love it! I even use most of the products myself.

 

We use the Burt's Bees baby wash. It says it's like 99.08% natural, or something like that. My kids have pretty sensitive skin & dd has a patch of eczema, but this one doesn't seem to bother their skin.

 

I use California Baby. Their diaper cream works really well too.

 

I use Shikai -- for us and for our babies. http://www.shikai.com/products/shower_gels.htm

P.S. They sell it at Trader Joe's for a lot less than anywhere else I've seen.

 

The unscented California Baby wash, which works well and doesn't irritate DD's eczema. I found that I absolutely couldn't use any standard baby products for her, especially anything with scent. Plain Cetaphil wash works well, too, although I feel like it doesn't get her hair clean enough.

I think I will try that Mustela Stelatopia bath oil that a PP mentioned -- looks like good stuff!

 

Love love LOVE......Weleda Baby products. We get the cream baby bath, baby lotion, baby cream and baby diaper cream. Both babies have dry patches/eczema and Will had a bad case of cradle cap. Using these products alleviated all the problems and they are all natural and so gentle. They smell great too! And from using the products on the babies, my hands are oooohhh so soft and lovely.

For all our health and beauty aids, my prenatal vitamins (Rainbow Light), and supplements, I shop online at Vitacost. I got turned on to them from Googling the cheapest prices on my ungodly costly prenatal vitamins-- Rainbow Light, they were so expensive at my local health food store that I tried finding them cheaper online. And thus, finding Vitacost.

They have all the major all natural/organic brands: Kiss My Face, Jason, Weleda, Earth's Best, Burts Bee's, etc. The prices are awesome. I just got my second shipment and a couple of the bottles leaked......I called customer service and they shipped out replacements to me and I got them in two days. Now THAT is customer service!!!!!
