Aleva Naturals Bamboo Baby Product Review

Aleva Naturals is a company based in Canada who create baby and maternity products that are made with natural ingredients and are free from any harsh chemicals that can cause irritation to your skin. I had the opportunity to test out four of their baby products in exchange for my honest review. My favorite thing about these products is the use of natural ingredients to create amazing smells and needed nourishment to the skin. I love that the products are also all vegan and provide therapeutic experiences for either baby or mom! All in all, I was very impressed with these products and would love to share my review of the products I tried below.

The first product I tried with my baby was the Bamboo Baby Pacifier & Toy Wipes. I was extremely appreciative for these wipes because my son is at the stage where he loves to throw all of his toys on the ground. These wipes are made from Eco friendly bamboo fibers with Aloe Vera which soothes the skin and shines the toys, Organic Chamomile Oil which prevents skin irritation and Natural Lemon Oil which is a great cleaner and disinfectant. These wipes are the perfect size for your diaper bag or purse when you are on the go with baby!

Next, I tried Bamboo Baby Wipes and loved the smell especially that is only from the natural ingredients, no scent added!  These wipes are made with Aloe Vera, Chamomile, Natural Tea Tree and Lavender Oils so this brand just can't help but have an amazing smell! The ingredients also soothe the skin and all wipes are even biodegradable!

The Sleep Easy Hair & Body Wash has been great for my son's night routine. I love using essential oils with my son so this body wash is great for helping me put son to sleep with the use of Lavender Oil, Chamomile Oil, Grape Fruit Peel Oil and Orange Peel Oil. This product also contains Organic Aloe Vera and Vitamin E which soothes and heals the skin.

My favorite product I got to try from the Baby Bamboo line was the Daily Soothing Moisturizer. My son has recently developed Eczema so I love that this lotion is recommended for Eczema-Prone skin! This product contains ingredients, such as Oatmeal Extract & Shea Butter, that soothe the skin's irritation and Natural Almond Oil, Certified Organic Olive Oil & Natural Jojoba Oil which keep the skin soft and nourished. I have tried other lotions for my son's dry, eczema prone skin but none have worked as well as Aleva's Daily Soothing Moisturizer!

The Aleva Naturals line can be found at Babies R Us!

Baby B Fresh Ultraviolet Pacifier & Bottle Sanitizer Review

          

I was lucky enough to recently receive an amazing product from the company Baby B Fresh called Ultraviolet Pacifier and Bottle Sanitizer. The product uses ultraviolet light to disinfect bottles, pacifiers, sippy cups and teething toys. I absolutely love how portable the product is so it can easily fit into any parent's diaper bag, super convenient! All you need is 2 AAA batteries and a couple of minutes. In just 3 to 4 minutes, the ultraviolet lights kills 99.9% of  the following:

1.) H1N1

2.) Strep

3.) Rotavirus

4.) Bacteria

   I am so pleased with the product and it even comes in three very cute designs( tiger, bear and chicken). I would highly recommend this product to any parent who is looking for an easy yet effective product to ensure your baby stays healthy and bacteria free! I have included the link below and I encourage you all to buy one today!

David's Premium Natural Toothpaste Review

I had the opportunity to try out my first all natural toothpaste, David's Premium Natural Toothpaste and I LOVED it! The texture is very smooth and the mint taste isn't too strong like some mint toothpastes can be. I also am really behind the company not only for the product but for the message behind the brand. David's Natural focuses on the Earth with sustainable packaging & a recyclable metal tube, our health, using natural ingredients and our Economy in the USA, using 98% USA Origin ingredients!

Something very important to me, especially as a parent is what ingredients are in the products I use. Many toothpaste brands contain the ingredient, Fluoride which is a huge health risk, especially for kids under 6 years old. My son is a preemie baby so even the tiniest thing could be harmful to him. I also love how this toothpaste is SLS Free which means it contains no sodium lauryl sulfate, sulfate free. Instead, David's uses Sodium Cocyl Glutamate which is the natural alternative ingredient. This is made from coconut oil and helps for cleaning and whitening of the teeth.

David's Premium Natural Toothpaste has no fake anything when it comes to ingredients! Instead of artificial flavoring, they use Spearmint Leaf Oil(Mentha Virdis) and Wintergreen Leaf Oil(Gaultheria Procumbens). I truly loved the taste of this product and didn't think it was too much, even with the added natural sweetener Stevia.  I thought there was a perfect amount of flavor.

Another cool little extra that comes with this product is the tube key! I always have the toughest time with other toothpaste tubes because I can't get all of the product out of the tube without twisting and folding it. With this handy little tool, you can ensure you get every last healthy bit out of the fully recyclable tube!

My favorite part of this company is the fact that they use no animal testing and are a member of Leaping Bunny(Companies dedicated to humane animal treatment). David's Naturals also uses FSC Certified Paperboard Packaging which is the only system supported by amazing forest certification groups,such as WWF, Natural Resources Defense Council, etc. Got to love a company committed to our Earth, animals and people!

Tom's of Maine Baby Product Review

I love natural baby products and Tom's of Maine has a Baby Care line that I now love! I recently got the opportunity to try out the Baby Shampoo & Wash and Baby Moisturizing Lotion for my honest opinion. The products are a hypoallergenic formula containing plant-based ingredients! Plant based products are always my favorite because they are safer for your baby.  The products are produced with NO animal testing and are Pediatrician tested. The products also offer you the option of Fragrance Free or Lightly Scented(I enjoy the Lightly Scented myself!) The baby care line also includes a Diaper Cream and Sunscreen that I will be trying in the future!

I first tried the Baby Shampoo & Wash while giving my 3 month old Oliver a bath! He loves to splish & splash and enjoys bath time more and more each day. The baby shampoo had a nice light scent and didn't make my son's skin breakout! I could tell it cleaned him thoroughly and left a nice after smell. The line also doesn't contain any artificial chemical preservatives which I love! The Shampoo & body wash wasn't overly sudsy which was another plus!

After Oliver's bath, I used the Baby Moisturizing Lotion on him. The lotion soaked in after and left his skin feeling soft! I love that this product keeps my baby's skin soft and healthy with no artificial ingredients. I didn't think the product was greasy. I may even consider using the product regularly.

I definitely liked the two items I used from the Tom's of Maine Baby Care Line. Go check out the site below for more information!

Bloom Baby Wipes

I have recently tried a baby wipe product from Bloom Baby. The wipes interested me because they are made with 98% natural ingredients and also made with 100% Hydro Pure Water. My son was born premature so I am always choosy on what products to use on him. The wipes didn't cause my son to break out because they are safe for babies and toddlers with Rash and Eczema Prone Skin! The wipes are made with plant obtained vitamins(A, B-complex, D, Omega -3 & -6.)

The wipes are made Cruelty Free which is extremely important and are produced with clean wind energy! The back of the box also has an ingredient list, purpose of the ingredient and their Bloom Kind Co. skin safe rating. Of the 11 ingredients, only 2 of them are of any risk(Phenoxyethanol, a minor risk and Potassium Sorbate, a very minor risk.)

The wipes were great for my son and I love the natural smell they have, very fresh and fragrance free. The box also had a feeding and wet/dry diaper chart which is great for first time moms like myself. I especially liked the chart because my son was born premature and in the NICU they had him on a 3 hour eating schedule. We kept that up when we first got home. My only dislike was the way the wipes stuck together when I tried to pull one out. The case of wipes also comes with a handy carrying case. It's very lightweight and has a cute design just like the wipe packs do!  There is no doubt about it, these wipes are stylish!

I am very pleased with these wipes and would definitely recommend them to any parent! Check out the website below!

Molly's Suds Cloth Diaper Laundry Powder Review

I have been in search of the best products for my baby and family. Many of my favorites have been made with natural ingredients and are Eco-Friendly! And that's the reason I stumbled upon Molly's Suds!

Molly's Suds began due to the tragedy of a stillbirth. As explained on the company's website, the goal is to create products that are free from non-natural toxins and to educate others about these toxins. The founder, Monica Leonard, discovered in a European study that baby cord blood contained at least 240 chemicals and half of those were from products we use in our everyday lives, such as, food, personal care, household and environmental products! I couldn't believe the facts once I read them and I would never have known if it wasn't for this AMAZING company. I recently had my first son, a baby born 7 weeks premature, so this story really touched my heart!

Molly's Suds makes laundry products that are sensitive to skin. The company is cruelty free which is a huge plus in my book because I'm an animal lover(they also make dog shampoo)! The products contain no GMOs, are 100% Vegan and are sensitive to allergies because they are Gluten and Nut Free!  The laundry products are High Efficiency(HE) safe and contain no harmful chemicals, like 1, 4-dioxane or formaldehyde! The products are also septic safe.

I wrote Molly's Suds and the company was nice enough to send me a bag of their Cloth Diaper Laundry Powder. Although, I do not use cloth diapers, I used the powder on my son's clothes. The powder worked wonders for my babies clothes, making them not only softer but brighter! The product didn't give my son any rashes or cause any breakouts to his skin. I am extremely satisfied with this product and will be incorporating the Laundry Powder into my daily laundry routine. I can't wait to try more products from this company!

Fresh Wave Product Review

Lately, I've been loving the new trend of organic products for my home. I had recently stumbled across Fresh Wave. Fresh Wave is a product line which includes gels, sprays and even laundry booster which are all natural odor removing products! Fresh Wave uses pure and natural ingredients such as water and natural extracts to remove odors rather than covering them up with perfumes! I wrote to the company and they were kind enough to send me a box containing three of their products and it even had a cute bag to go with the products! I have tried out all of the products and I am going to share my honest thoughts on them.






Here are some more in detail facts about Fresh Wave products:

1.) The products natural ingredients are extracts from pine needle, clove, cedar wood and aniseed!

2.) No harsh chemicals or perfumes are used in their products!

3.)Their products are available at Target, Bed, Bath & Beyond and Ace Hardware to name a few!

4.) The products are non-toxic, non-gmo and non-hazardous to people, pets and our planet!

5.) Each product has picture codes for what it can be used on which makes the products SUPER convenient(you won't have to guess what you can use it on!)

The first product I gave a try was the odor removing gel. All I did was peel the seal and place the product in my bathroom. I couldn't believe how nice and fresh it smelled. I am so thankful I was sent the odor removing gel to try out. The gel lasts anywhere between 60 to 90 days and I WILL be purchasing more when the time comes. This product can be used anywhere in your home, car or even boats!

The next product I tested out was the odor removing packs. If your house is like my house, the garbage can does not always have the best of smells. With a newborn and the constant diaper changes I truly needed these packs. All I did was toss one in the bottom of my trash can and put the garbage bag in. Now every time I go into the kitchen, I smell that signature Fresh Waves smell and smile. It is truly the smell of clean. The odor removing packs are safe to use in sneakers, your car, your gym bag and of course your trash cans. This product was definitely my favorite product I received!

An odor removing pack( 6 packs per bag)

The last product I received was the odor removing spray. Being a dog owner, this product will continue to come in handy. Dogs can be messy and this product eliminates the odor after spraying on the desired area. This product is safe to use on clothes, pet odors, backpacks, shoes and trash cans!











I was highly happy overall with these products and would recommend them to anyone looking for a safer and more natural alternative to odor removing products!
