All three of my children suffer from eczema and extremely dry skin. I’ve noticed that as they have gotten older, the eczema has gone down in its severity. But because of their sensitivity, I try to be as cautious as I can with the soaps and lotions that I use on their delicate skin.
When we were approached by MACLAREN about their new beginning line, I was thrilled. I was not only delighted for the chance to use the products on myself and my three children, but I was excited for the chance to share the beginning line with you.
I know that as mothers, we love products that are gentle on our children’s skin, especially our precious newborn babies. It’s always wonderful when the product is also all natural and certified organic.
Last night I bathed my three children in the calming bath milk for baby. “A pure blend of organic oils, infused with Lavender, Geranium and Mandarin.” I loved the hint of lavender and orange together. It was definitely very calming.
I also used the soothing delicate soap to wash their little bodies. The gentle soap “with the moisturizing properties of Jojoba, soothing quality of Aloe and the calming aroma of Lavender,” left their skin feeling so very soft. Goodbye dry skin. As I toweled my five-year-old daughter off, she even commented on how soft her skin was.
I am also impressed that their products are dermatologically tested on sensitive skin and that they do not use synthetic perfumes, artificial colors, petroleum derivatives, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, Parabens, TEA, DEA or animal ingredients. MACLAREN is also against animal testing.
MACLAREN has their slogan right, “What a mother wants, what a baby needs…..”
We would like to gift one of our readers with a MACLAREN beginning gift pack which includes calming bath milk, protecting nappy change balm, absorbing dusting powder, cocooning massage oil, comforting room mist, and an organic toy, retail value $109.00
We also have a second prize of a beginning Travel Kit For Baby which includes cocooning massage oil, calming bath milk, protecting nappy change balm, absorbing dusting powder, soothing delicate soap, comforting room mist and a celebration natural wax candle. Retail value of the Travel Kit For Baby is $25.00.
