Best Baby Shower Gifts: Baby skin and bath products (Part 3)

 

Continuing my three part article on baby skin and bath products that would make great baby shower gifts... (Read part 1 and part 2 for more cool stuff.) 

A great line of organic baby products is the brand new sustainable company - i.c. organics. The lotion, oil and baby wash all smell refreshing and make you want to breathe in deep with a hint of a citrusy smell. And every purchase also helps others because 10% of the proceeds benefit Justice for Children, a nonprofit group that provides legal advocacy for abused children.

Epicuren Baby makes all natural, chemical free products created by a mom. Epicuren Baby is made using solar power and packaged using recycled and sustainable materials. All their products are infused with what they call baby-bonding aromatherapy. Whatever you call it, they smell fresh but not overpowering. I'd skip the small welcome set and opt for the gift set or full size products. The gift set's travel size are too small to make a good gift, but would be fine if you just want to try them out for yourself.

Mustela Bebe is Europe's top baby brand. And there's good reason. Their lotion is light with a gentle sweet, flowery smell. Mustela's facial cleansing cloths also came recommended to me by a mom who runs a specialty baby store. She says they're one of her top 10 gift items.

 
Triderma MD Baby All Purpose Aloe Healing and Cleansing Gel cleans without drying. Use to protect those chubby skin folds from chafing and chin and cheeks from baby drool. Helps diap rash, sunburns and booboos heal faster. Made with organic aloe. They also make a severe diaper rash cream that helps really hard to heal rashes and eczema, fast healing creme to soothe burns and skin irritations caused by chemicals, detergents and excessive hand washing. Perfect for sensitive tots.

MD Moms Baby Silk Gentle All-Over Clean Cleansing Towelettes and Soothing Bottom Relief Diaper Rash Cream both recently won the Parent Tested Parent Approved (PTPA) Media Seal of Approval. The Soothing Bottom Relief Diaper Rash Cream is a lightweight cream that protects, soothes, heals and moisturizes baby’s skin. It also doubles as an all-purpose barrier cream to protect dry or chapped hands and cheeks. What's cool about this one is that it goes on white and turns clear, which makes it great to use on little faces. Baby Silk Gentle All-Over Clean Cleansing Towelettes feature an alcohol-free 2-in-1 formula created for use on both sets of cheeks to keep baby’s skin clean and its moisture barrier intact. With organic aloe and comfrey they're also moisturizing. I also like their sunscreen wipes. The sunscreen's so light, you barely feel it going on yet it works really well.
