Rue & Cole, Oh so delicate whipped balm
“A very handy pot for all the family. My daughter had a very stubborn patch of ezcema on her hip which has improved; son had very dry skin on his cheeks which his has soothed. I’ve used it myself on my dry hands. The best thing is that it is very rich and moisturizing to the skin but without being heavy and feeling greasy which is often a problem for the kids in terms of how it feels, or for me when I have it on my hands and am trying to do different jobs/work. A great all round product and a joy to use. Very happy with how this product has soothed and eased very dry skin. Promises use from head to toe and between the family we’ve probably pretty much done that. The value for money on his product is incredible: there is a mere dent and it will be used for long to come. I’m really blown away by this”
“This a lovely product for kids, there is no fragrance, which is great as it is gentle. The balm melted easily, leaving a nice amount to apply with the warmth of the hands … incredibly useful on my daughter’s dry hands. It felt very soft going on and rubbed in easily without much effort. Great moisturising, not greasy and easy to rub in. Leaves skin feeling soft … performed well and consistently over the month, and there is still loads left … did exactly as I hoped it would and met my expectations brilliantly. This product worked well on me and my daughter on our hands and face. It promised to be an all over family balm and it delivered. Great packaging, which feels luxurious. This is a great free from and allergy friendly product and brilliant for kids”

Eden Days Body, Cheeky Chops Baby & Kids Butter
“I was instantly impressed with the light texture. The butter melts on contact with the skin and the texture changes to resemble a thick oil and it is extremely easy to apply. The combination of shea butter and coconut oil works so well. This product works a treat with my children: made my children’s skin feel soft and plump. They seem to find it comfortable and their skin is looking very healthy. This is a nourishing cream that has kept my children’s skin looking and feeling healthy. They seem to find it very comfortable too: and now specifically ask for this product after their bath … a lot of thought has gone into creating this product. I love the cheerful packaging.”
JUSTE NATURE, Unscented All-In-One Moisturising Balm
“Oh my goodness this is the miracle cream I’ve been looking for for years — the holy grail of family friendly cream! My boy’s poor hands have been red raw and like sandpaper until using this. One use made a visible difference! It works especially well when his hands are still wet after washing … performance was maintained over the weeks. The redness completely went away. Made an incredible difference to my boy’s skin, both to look at and to touch. The product is amazing! You need such a tiny amount too. I was concerned the pot wouldn’t last very long but the size is deceiving. I want to shout from the rooftops how amazing this balm is!”
Lyonsleaf, Calendula and marshmallow Balm
“The little pot of gold goodness arrived at the perfect time to address a number of family issues … Texture perfect for massaging into skin without dragging and isn’t overly greasy. Used one evening as an overnight treatment on my sore and dry hands and next morning they felt soft and moisturised. Great multi-tasker; loved having it to address all manner of issues. It also considerably improved the condition of dry and cracked heels. Needed to use it less often as the weeks passed as the condition of skin and dryness improved so much … promises to soothe and repair any dry, cracked, chapped, hard, rough, itchy or irritated skin and can be used all over the body. It lived up to its promises and made skin feel comforted and calmed in the process.”
Moksa, Bump Balm
“I was surprised at how soft the balm was: it’s great to have such a soft yet firm product that doesn’t need a lot of ‘working’ to get it smooth. The texture melts like butter as you work into the skin. Used it straight away on my bump and on my dry cracked lips. No discernible scent which is great for mums still feeling nauseous in pregnancy. Everything about it is great — the texture, the way it works into the skin, the relief and softness it provides in problem areas… it’s just brilliant: has really helped with itchy skin on my tummy. After a month of testing I found if I forgot to put the balm on my bump every single day I wouldn’t necessarily get itchy, as the cumulative effect of using it so often was having an effect. When my baby was born I used it on her skin where she had dryness and as a nappy ‘cream’ — soothed the problem areas and the skin was back to normal in no time. Really happy”

Florian Botanicals, Gentle Touch 3-in-1 Massage Oil
“Easy to apply evenly on my daughter’s skin and there was no oily mess; I found the oil to be very gentle but nourishing and it left her skin even softer than normal. It really complements my daughter’s skin. She has lovely baby soft skin and the oil makes her skin even softer and gives it a healthy glow. I have really enjoyed using this product on my daughter. After a month her skin looks very healthy and feels very soft. She seems to find it comfortable and it smells lovely on her skin. Frequent baths can really dry out a baby’s skin but by applying the oil before the bath I found it acted as a barrier and protected her skin. This is a great, versatile product and that it can be used as a massage oil, a bath oil and a moisturiser.”
No Secrets, Solo: All in one Hair, Hand & Body Bar; scent blend Nine
“Gentle and clean floral fragrance not unlike baby powder. The bar is quite firm and not too slippery: I found it a dream to use. You simply run it over the skin: it lathers up quickly and creates an even layer of foam on the skin. I was immediately impressed with how easily it rinsed … we also used it to wash my youngest daughter’s hair and I was pleased with how well it worked: extremely easy to work into the hair and it foamed up instantly. I have been so pleased with this product. My children have enjoyed it. It’s small and fits nicely in their hands making it easy for them to use themselves. This is such a great product.”
SAKRID, Clean + Calm Organic Shampoo
“Used this across the family’s hair and was super impressed. It lathered and cleaned my little monkeys’ hairs without any sting-y eyes, combed through nicely, and rinsed clear quickly; my hair even without any conditioner was not knotty; and my partner’s hair which is so thick after a double shampoo was as soft and fluffy as a new chick. Impressed! After a month, all our hair looked healthy, shiny, cared for and mine especially looked in way better condition, which considering I have used far less conditioner and masks than I have for a long time is down to this super creamy and rich shampoo. It feels nourished and stronger and Mummy is super pleased!”
Twenty Three Living, The Orange One – Natural Soap
“Smells divine, a lovely fresh citrussy scent that isn’t too overpowering … The bar lathers very easily so a quick rub of your hand over the bar provides enough product to cover a large area. Once wet, the fragrance of oranges is released and it’s a gorgeous way to start the day. My whole family enjoyed using this bar, I even applied it to my baby’s delicate skin. It doesn’t leave a tight feeling after use so I could use it everywhere, even my face. The bar lasted over a month with a family of four using it daily to cleanse in the bath/shower which I was impressed by. It never made skin feel tight, which I was surprised by as most soap bars do. My whole family enjoyed it”
Vintage Beauty, Skin Balancing Facial Mask
“Only using it twice a week fitted well with my teenage son who doesn’t normally use skincare products but wants something to help his acne. It was easy to apply and covered the face well … felt pleasant on his skin and didn’t itch or feel uncomfortable and after a few minutes he didn’t really notice it. He has used it twice a week for four weeks and initially we didn’t see any real difference in his acne but after two weeks spots weren’t looking as angry and red and he thought he had fewer spots. This encouraged him to keep using it and by the end of the month we could all see a change: skin has definitely improved. His face looks much calmer”
