Earth Mama Angel Baby Organic Angel Baby Shampoo & Body Wash, 5.3-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 3) Review

Earth Mama Angel Baby Organic Angel Baby Shampoo & Body Wash, 5.3-Ounce Bottles

(More customer reviews)
My mom bought us a whole care package of Earth Mama Angel Baby products after our second child was born. She had done exhaustive research on the safety of a number of different baby products (you'd be surprised what's in most of it) and this was one of the very, very few to rate a zero hazard on the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Database. So, that's a huge point in its favor and most of the stars given it are based on this.

Then there's the scent. It smells like creamsicles! And yet it's got this warmth underneath the creamsicle scent. It's really pleasant, especially on a newborn baby.

The bottle it comes in is great! It extends the use of this the shampoo *really* far if you use it conservatively. And because I knew how much it cost, I'd rarely use more than one or two pumps worth in a single bath, which made plenty of sudsy bubbles.

It definitely cleans, but it was kind of shocking to me just how straw-like my daughters hair felt after rinsing. I read this happens with people who switch to castile shampoo in the initial transition as it strips chemicals from the hair, but my experience was that this was always the case, even after six months. However, when my daughter's hair dried, it was quite soft and normal.

Anyway, the loss of two stars was simply based on the shelf life, something that I found, disappointingly, varied from bottle to bottle. Our first couple of bottles lasted six months. The next couple we bought (with money we didn't really have, I might add) were rancid after only a couple months. When it goes bad, it actually smells like an alcoholic beverage. Think fermented fruit. Now, two plus years ago, the price for these was a bit steeper and they had to be ordered directly from the company plus shipping. So this was pretty devastating to me.

Had I given much thought to the fact that this has NO PRESERVATIVES in it, and since we live in a warm climate this could totally wreck my expensive purchase, I'd have likely refrigerated it between bathing. Maybe the label should say something to this effect.

Instead I just didn't buy it again.

Perhaps you can learn from my mistake, or at least make a more informed decision. I think this is a nice, though perhaps not totally perfect, product. But only if it is stored as if it were a perishable food item. The same condition, by the way, applies to the lotion. The bottom balm, however, is a safer bet in terms of shelf life.

Glad to find a product that is phthalate-free, but this is quite drying and made my son's skin dry, even though he doesn't usually have dry skin.Certainly shouldn't be used on children with dry or eczema-prone skin.Strong orange scent too -- smells like Orange Crush, which we don't mind but some people might not care for!

I love that the ingredients in this soap are all natural and gentle. We use it more as a shampoo than a body bar. My husband loves it. He doesn't have to use dandruff shampoo anymore at all (he used to have to use it a couple of times of week for prevention). I highly recommend it!

Keys Soap Solar RX Therapeutic Sunblock, SPF 30 (UVA & UVB Broadspectrum Sun Protection w/Nano Zinc-Oxide) Review

Keys Soap Solar RX Therapeutic Sunblock, SPF 30

I think this is a great sunscreen for faces.I have rosacea and need to use physical sunblocks.I also am a contact lens wearer, and some chemicals eventually get into my eyes and sting. I won't use products with chemical fragrance or parabens.That leaves me with few options and I've tried lots.Most products leave a white haze, not this one.It also leaves my skin feeling moisturized, but not oily or shiny.I don't like it for all-body, it can be spread too thin.Very nice product.(note- this product does have essential oils and a scent)

Product Description:
Solar Rx is designed to offer the maximum physical protection from UVA & SPF 30 for UVB burning rays without using a chemical sunscreen. We recommend reapplying at least every two hours* on the face neck and hands. Intense sun conditions require even more frequent application. UV index ratings of 8 and above for average skin can require application as much as every 15 minutes as tested using a UV meter. This is not a product for sun bathing, extreme hot weather sports or swimming. Keys Solar Rx is featured on the Environmental Working Group Skin Deep Report as one of the safest sunscreen on the market. Key Solar Rx is featured as the most effective non-waterproof category sunblock for UVA and UVB in the Consumer Reports July issue. It is rare to find a product that is both safe to use and effective. Keys Solar Rx carries a UVB (UV Burning) rating of < SPF 30 and a UVA (UV Aging) of four stars using the EU rating system. High SPF rated chemical sunscreens will prevent burning, but often do little to provide UVA protection. Solar Rx combines the healing soothing properties of Keys Luminous moisturizer and adds a 16% concentration of uncoated nano-zinc oxide to provide a physical UVA & UVB blocking to protect against UV triggered Melanoma and Skin Cancer. Their nano-zinc oxide (ZnO) is uncoated to provide healing therapies associated with zinc oxide. The uncoated zinc has also proven to be anti-bacterial and antimicrobial and can reduce redness, rosacea, age spots and melasma. Solar Rx carries a EWG Skin Deep Rating of 0 (0 to 10 scale where 0 is best).
