It seems that as a parent, everywhere you turn there are more hazards for children and more ingredients to avoid.  It doesn’t surprise me at all that some of the skin and bath care products sold for little ones contain ingredients that are sometimes harsh for their sensitive skin.  While my daughter never had negative reactions with her skin, my son has such sensitive skin that we are much more aware this time around.

We just started using Love Me Baby Me skincare products for both children.  The line includes 5 products - hair putty (a hair gel), bubbly wash (both bubble bath and body wash), shampoo, butt balm, and creamy cream (skin cream).  All of the products are paraben free, propylene glycol free, tear free, gluten free, pediatrican tested, vegan friendly, and hypoallergenic.  For more information on why this is important, check out their education page.

We really like using all of the products.  Each contains an all natural preservative derived from flowers that smells like a combination of vanilla and almonds.  It’s a lasting gender neutral scent that is very subtle.  The Smoothie Shampoo is a favorite of my daughter.  It keeps her hair tangle free and is rich and creamy so that we don’t need conditioner (she hates having her hair washed so she likes skipping conditioner).  The body wash is great because we can put a little under running water to make some bubbles, and then we also use some on a cloth to wash them up!  I also love the hair putty.  My daughter has curly, sometimes unruly hair and a little bit of the hair putty keeps it in place.  I just love the fact that it doesn’t contain harsh chemicals, because at 3, she really doesn’t need them.

The butt balm diaper cream is the best we’ve ever tried.  I usually find diaper creams either too strong and medicinal, or too mild and ineffective.  Love Me Baby Me’s diaper cream, while still containing a good amount of zinc oxide, is still quite gentle and very effective.

Love Me Baby Me products can be purchased individually or in two gift sets.  The Precious Pak is perfect for travel - each size is 2 oz or less so it can be carried on a plane.  The gift set collection contains full sizes of each product.  You can find these wonderful skin products at http://www.lovemebabyme.com/.
