Live Clean Baby Organic Collection Giveaway & Review

The thing I found most pleasurable about Live Clean is their conciseness for the environment. Main focus how it works and protects babies with organic botanical ingredients. Not only do they make products almost completely plant based but, they are aware of their carbon print in packaging. Live Clean Baby eco-friendly hypoallergenic baby care products for baby and the earth. Check them out Earth Day is April 22.

Live Clean sent the whole line of their Eco Friendly Live Clean Baby line for us to try. I was heading out of town when it first arrived and in between trips I have tried it out on my boys. They aren't quite babies but, my 2yr old is close enough that he still has baby fat fingers. My oldest has sensitive skin and I was eager to see how his skin would react. Tearless Shampoo, Moisturizing Baby Bath,and Moisturizing Baby Lotion, where all light scented. My little guys did well with all these and I felt better with these clean products for my family. Children learn from imitation, so what better product to learn to use than earth & family safe products.

My finding on all the products we used is no over whelming smells, big plus for us with sensitive sinusitis issues. The bar soap was there and it is excellent, nice lather and good clean feeling. I loved the Non-Petroleum Jelly 100% natural ingredients on my dry cracked lips, no smell. The smooth diaper cream did great and also wiped away easy from my fingers. I hate when it's hard to wipe off diaper cream.

The line of Live Clean Baby products consist of the following: Tearless Shampoo & Wash, Moisturizing Baby Bath, Moisturizing Baby Lotion, Diaper Ointment, Non-Petroleum Jelly, & Bar Soap.

Check out the details on individual products:
•Some are 98% & 100% Plant Ingredients
