Product reviews...
I am loving the Earthwise baby lotion. Yes, yes I know...I am not a baby! But omg lol Myself and my daughter both suffer from excessively sensitive skin. Looking at some products can give me a rash haha, and dryness is also becoming a daily battle. It is actually frustrating. It is hard to want to try a new product, esp at my age, because there are so many added this and thats to combat aging, and wrinkles, and black heads, and tired eyes etc etc etc, that you really do easily lose your way.
We should all be using baby products haha Especially this lotion. It is non greasy, it leaves your skin feeling fresh, soft, and healthy. It is not filled with nasty chemicals, or make you look 10yrs younger ingredients, because it is produced for the most sensitive of sensitive skin, our babies skin. It is a nice subtle refreshing smell to it too which is lovely AND it comes in a easy for adults to use pump bottle, that is not so easy for kidlets to use and waste. No fuss. No mess. So I love it. And am personally using it.
Miss 9, is also able to use it. Not daily, and not heavily, but a little bit on her hands and face when feeling dry. If she uses to much she does go a bit red, so in order to ensure it stays ok for her to use, she just uses it a couple three times a week, and that is fine. It is still doing its job, and she is happy. Seriously, you generally can not go wrong with Earthwise products. Especially if natural is important to you.
We are already converted Earthwise fans in our house but I hadn't yet tried this Earthwise baby lotion. The first thing that attracted me to this is the fact that it has a pump bottle. certainly makes it a little more difficult for little mischiefs to dispense too much out at one time. Also easier as a mum to pump as well.
The pump can be depressed and tightened to lock so can be packed in a bag without fear of spilling. I had to check this out before using it on the kids and once I got over how easy it was to dispense I was loving the smell! The scent is like baby powder but better. Such a lovely, gentle scent the moisturiser has a very thick lecture that felt almost greasy to apply. Once it was absorbed into my skin then the greasiness went and my skin immediately felt smooth and moistened.
I got my three girls to to try the moisturiser out after a marathon few hours in the swimming pools. their skin is usually quite dry after the pools so I was interested to see what this would be like on their skin. The girls liked that they could pump the bottle easily and got to work moisturising themselves and each other. It was very easy for them to spread around and they really liked the texture, the feel and the smell. Their skin felt very soft after the moisturiser had soaked in and they were really happy with how it felt.
I really like this and given that it is without all the nasty chemicals that I try to avoid using I am definitely going to keep using this. I can definitely recommend this especially if you want to use a product that is sensitive to the needs of your child's delicate skin.
We were recently selected to review this Earthwise Baby body lotion which I was very excited about as we love earthwise products as they are generally very gentle on our skin. As a bonus they are gentle on the environment which people should consider more when buying skin care products I feel that if they are better for the environment than the products are definitely going to be better for my familys skin and love that these products have no harsh chemicals.
My son and I have very sensitive skin both getting eczema regularly so when it comes to moisturising we generally only use those prescribed to us from the doctor so I always approach new products with caution. However this turned out to be very gentle on our skin and I loved using it on my son after his bath with Earthwise Baby Bubble Bath to keep his skin feeling baby soft. Just a small amount goes a long way to moisturising the skin so the bottle is going to last us a very long time.
I have personally been using it on myself as I like to moisturise my face before applying make up and have loved that this has been so gentle on my facial area. One small pump moisturises my face and neck area and gets it feeling soft and refreshed. I love that it doesnt have a greasy feel to it so although it has the skin feeling soft and removes areas of dryness it doesnt give you that shiny/greasy look that some moisturising products do. It has been a perfect base for me in my skin care routine.
It has also been perfect for keeping my sons skin soft and along with sunblock and the Earthwise bubble bath and body lotion has kept him from having dry skin which he can often get in the summer months. We will definitely be adding this to the skin care routine.
We were recently selected to review the Earthwise Critters Body lotion from the Earthwise Baby range. I was really keen to try this product as not only does my son have eczema, but I also have dermatitis and sensitive hands. Not only is this product perfect for my son and babies sensitive skin & but also didn't hurt my hands putting it on them.
After giving my children a bath using the Earthwise Bubble Bath and Body Wash it was nice to try out the body lotion. You only need a small amount as it goes a long way. The body lotion doesn't leave my children slippery to pick up or feeling greasy. The body lotion has a loving scent and left my children with soft skin. My children loved receiving a relaxing massage before bedtime using the body lotion.
I love how easy the body lotion is to get from the bottle with the easy pump function. You can also easily close the pump bottle to pop into your nappy bag/overnight bag. Again, the packaging looks good and is effective. The Earthwise Body Lotion has a small purple bird on the front, which has a relaxing feel to it.
Its nice to have a bottle of body lotion in the bathroom that contains no nasties and that the whole family can use. I don't usually use a moisturiser but since reviewing the earthwise body lotion I have added this into my daily routine. I love how soft it makes my skin feel and doesn't effect my dermatitis.
$7.99 is a pretty reasonable price for a decent moisturiser that is gentle on the skin, and works well. I will definitely be buying another bottle when this runs out and will no longer use any other moisturisers products on my children. Thank you KIWIreviews and earthwise for the chance to review this awesome product!
We were lucky enough to get to review another amazing earthwise product. This time around it was the baby lotion. Mr 8 months has sensitive skin like his sister and I have been looking for a product to try on his skin after a bath. So decided to apply for this to review and was lucky enough to be selected.
Mr 7 months had just finished his bath in earthwise bubble bath so decided to try the baby lotion on him. I dried him off completely and popped the bottle of lotion next to me. Now, Mr 7 months is super wriggly so this I thought was going to be a hard task.. Boy was I wrong! The pump bottle on the baby lotion is the best idea ever. I was able to hold Mr 7 months in place with one hand, while managing to pump the body lotion into my other hand. The first thing I noticed was that the pump bottle actually gave out a small amount of lotion. So of course I pumped some more into my hand and begun to cover Mr 7 months in lotion.
It didn't take me long to realise in fact I probably didn't need to pump out that much. As a little amount went quite a long way on our son. The baby lotion was quite silky and non greasy which is great as there is nothing worse than rubbing on lotion and looking like you have rolled round in a greasy bowl of oil. I was surprised at how quick it absorbed into his skin as other lotions have you looking greasy and feeling slippery for quite some time after applying it. I was thrilled with this lotion as it ticked so many boxes for me: ease of use, small amount needed for application, non greasy and it didn't react on my son's skin.
Earthwise, I have tried so many of your amazing products through KIWIreviews and I have found them all great! They are now going to be the only brand of products that I use on my children. Thanks so much for making amazing products that my sensitive skinned children can happily use :)
What a lovely accompaniment to the Earthwise Bubble Bath and Earthwise Body Wash. The lotion doesn't feel all greasy like some do, and I didn't feel oily any residue on the body...just soft and silky skin (although easy to feel on a 6 month old baby but harder on a 4 year old child!).
I don't normally use lotion as an every day skin routine for the kids unless they have nappy rash or irritation, but gave this a go and I was pleasantly surprised. After applying a test patch and waiting 48 hours to see if there was any irritation, away we went on giving both kids a cooling lotion rub down before bed. Was a nice way to relax before bed and spend some quality quiet time with both girls at the end of a busy day. It's extremely nice after a hot day outside. The pump bottle is yet again a winner, as it has been with the shampoo, body wash and bubble bath and is so easy to use with 1 hand when you're trying to wrestle with either a wriggling baby or a run-away 4 year old! And it doesn't go flying out at all angles, getting anything and everything in a 30cm radius. I did find the nozzle did get clogged up when we didn't use it for a week but was easy to clean with a cloth.
Yet another top notch product from Earthwise to go with our bathroom and laundry products we already use. This will be going on our shopping list in the future, although the lotion seems to be going a long way!
My daughter, who is 2 suffers from really dry skin and chronic eczema, which can be set off by the smallest chemical or plant touching her skin. I decided to request this product when I saw it come available as usually we can only use a doctors prescribed Sorbolene cream on it to keep it smooth and soft, however this does have to be applied at least 3 to 4 times a day to keep up the soft feeling.
After giving my daughter a bath with a medley of other wonderful Earthwise products I decided to moisturise her arms, legs, back and stomach with the Earthwise Baby Lotion. Firstly I loved the pump bottle design as it makes it easy to dispense, also one of the big things with Eczema that we have been told by the Dermatologist time and time again, is that it is not good to scoop out of a tub of cream as this means constantly putting germs and bacteria into the moisturiser, so this type of bottle is fully recommended by them. I got a good amount of lotion on my hand from 1 pump, and ended up working out that I needed one pump per part of the body, so one per arm, leg etc. The lotion was light and soft, but also silky and creamy it was easy enough to rub in without leaving a slimy or greasy residue on Miss 2's skin.
Normally when Miss 2 wakes up in the morning her skin is quite dry and flaky, due to not having had any moisturiser applied to it for several hours, however on this particular morning it was left a lot softer than usual. I reapplied the lotion and found that this didn't need reapplying for 5 hours which is quite good for her skin. Miss 2 liked the little bird on the front of the lotion bottle, and I have found her several times now pumping the lotion out herself and applying it to her skin which is great!
While the price isn't extremely high and I am more than happy to pay it, I think that I will continue to rotate between using this and her Sorbolene each day, only due to the fact that her skin seems to become prone to certain products after a while which stops them from working on her skin.
Another top quality product from Earthwise which I certainly will be buying more of and recommending to others.
With extremely sensitive skin myself and having my niece and nephew around with sensitive skin I have been looking for a lotion that I can keep in my house for them. I need one that not only works for them but allows me to apply it without reacting to it. When I saw the Earthwise baby up for review it sounded like a good solution for me.
When it arrived I was very keen to try it out, giving the contents a read I was impressed. No harsh chemicals and it wasn't nut based like a lot of lotions are. Opening it up and getting some out was super easy too, I love the fact that you can pump it one handed so if you are playing the keep baby in one spot game you can hold on with one hand and grab lotion with the other.
I decide the first test of the lotion was going to be on me because if I reacted there was a high chance the kids would too. I decided to try it on one arm to start with, rubbing it in felt great it has such a silky smooth texture which is perfect for baby massage! I quickly discovered though that a little goes a long way and I didn't need as much as I would normally use. I'm pleased to say not only did I not react to the lotion but it worked wonders on my skin. I have ended up using it on myself daily over the last week and it has really cleared my skin up!
The kids have been the same there has been no reaction to the lotion. The fact it's easy to pump and the ideal amount comes out with one pump means Miss 4 can help herself and apply her own lotion. Once again it's a product that it going to be on the regular shopping list, not only for the kids but also for myself. It is so far working better on my skin than some of the more expensive lotions I have tried.
With severely sensitive skin I have to be very careful what I use as I have a tendancy to react. I only ever use sensitive or baby items as find they are best. I was a little concerned about using this but found I did not need to worry. The container is very cute and the spin top is very easy to open and close which is fantastic. The pump is also nice and simple and you do not need to fight with it to use it.
As school holidays my daughter is obsessed with beauty salons and doctors at the moment and so I let her use this on me. She has been massaging my legs and arms frequently since receiving it. I found it feels lovely going on and does the trick but within about half an hour my legs are starting to dry up again, which is a great concern for my daughter she huffs and puffs and says 'again' and reapplys.
I think for anyone with great skin this would be ideal. It is nice and light and applys lovely you don't have that greasy feeling afterwards. For anyone with problematic skin like mine unfortunately it does not do the trick and is just not strong enough but then again it is the baby range. My daughter loves putting it on herself and she thinks it smells beautiful and now when we are going out she has to have a quick application even her elder sister has started applying as nice and easy to do.
For me it does not work but for my girls its perfect and since they both love applying I will buy again as it is a lovely product. It is a hard one to score as I know I am not the attended applicant so I have tried to look at it for both my girls and me.
I have never used Earthwise products with my kids before and I am always a little apprehensive with what I do and don't use when it comes to my 4 month old twins. First thing I noticed is that it contains no sulfates or parabens to extend the shelf life of their product which is a definite plus for me.
I tried Earthwise Baby Lotion on myself to start with which was a big mistake as I found it worked really well and I now want to keep it to myself. It comes in a 250ml bottle with a pump dispenser that screws down and seals so you don't get any accidental pumps in the baby bag when in transit.
I thought the 250ml bottle would last like an ice cube in the desert with myself and my two daughters all using it, but the coverage is excellent and is quickly absorbed into the skin so I'm not left struggling to juggle two greasy babies, it also worked wonders on the cradle cap.
I think Earthwise have done their homework with this product and covered all the bases to end up with a safe to produce, safe to use and safe to dispose of product. I will definitely use this product in the future.
