A Review By Real Moms Review Panel Member: Jacquie Engbrecht
A short while ago, I received some products by Earth Mama Baby Angel from CaSeraSera’s Baby Gifts Shop! This line of natural skin and body care products was made for both moms and babies for the entire process from pregnancy to birth to baby care and beyond. What makes these products unique however is that they are 100% natural and toxin-free! I have been learning recently about the negative effects of the many toxins in our environment these days on our central nervous system, which controls all the functions of our body, from cleaning products to the food we eat and also the products we use on our bodies, so it was great to find out that there was something for my baby that I could use with a clean conscience, knowing that it was safe for him. Earth Mama Baby Angel products are cruelty-free, certified vegan (no animal products), kosher, and 100% toxin-free – that means no phthalates (which studies have shown can have adverse effects on the developing organs of infants and which have strong links to allergies in children), parabens (a preservative), SLS (used to create the ability for soaps to lather, but is known to cause various skin irritations), artificial preservatives, fragrances or dyes.
The specific products I received were the Angel Baby Bottom Balm, Angel Baby Oil, Angel Baby Shampoo and Body Wash, and the Angel Baby Lotion. While I can’t go into detail on all of these, I’ll tell you some of the things I loved. Since they don’t use SLS, their shampoo doesn’t lather on it’s own, and is instead fitted with a self-foaming pump – I loved this, since I found it difficult to create a lather with other body washes when dealing with a wriggly baby! And while they don’t use artificial fragrances, the shampoo has a delicious natural citrusy smell and the lotion smells like sweet vanilla. I love smelling my little guy after he’s just had his bath and is all lotioned up! Also, after using the shampoo and lotion for a couple weeks, I found that they virtually “cured” his really dry scalp and skin! (One thing to watch out for though is because the shampoo has no anesthetizing ingredients, it is not tear-free and you need to use extra care to not get any in your baby’s eyes.) A neat thing about the bottom balm is that it’s not just for diaper rash, but can also be used to treat cradle cap, bug bites, scrapes, chicken pox, minor rashes, and burns!
I could probably go on and on about all the various benefits of these baby products, how they use organic ingredients (crops grown without the use of harmful pesticides or the usual dose of toxic chemical fertilizers) and how they even took care to use the safest plastic for their bottles that is also the most readily recyclable! But enough of my blabbering – you can check them out for yourself at CaSeraSera and even find things for mom too!
