I was lucky enough to be able to
head into Aromababy’s office around the corner from home and meet the amazing
Catherine Cervasio.
The moment I entered the office my
nose was filled with the beautiful natural aromas of the Aromababy range.
I was actually amazed to see how
many different products there were in the Aromababy range. My kids were
instantly drawn to the super sweet Aromababy teddy bears (which would make for
a really good baby shower gift.)
Catherine also knows what she is
talking about and gave me some really good insight on what her brand and
products are all about.. Her boys should be super proud of her as she has
achieved a lot in her life and created a really amazing brand.
I was sent away with a really clever
gift bag focusing on baby bath time, not only is this a relaxing time for baby
it also should be for mummy to.
ORGANIC AROMABATH ™ POWDER
150gm
$24.95
This organic, natural milk-free bath
powder has been formulated for those unable to tolerate milk powder products.
Containing pure certified organic oatmeal, organic lavender flowers and a blend
of certified organic pure essential oils beneficial to the skin, this powder
helps to soften and soothe dry, irritated skin and is perfect postnatally for
Mum.
Now not only do I love this product
for the kids I also love it myself!!
Just putting a few teaspoons into
the little mesh bag provided and popping it in your bath will take you to a
much more relaxing space. Then all that is left to do is close your eyes lay
back and take in the peace and serenity.
I also found that this really
relaxed and soothed Madison before going to bed, making bed time all that much
easier for me!! It also adds a beautiful milk look to the bath, which I think
Is really pretty. You can also control how much you pop in the bath, which I
think is a great idea, especially for Hayley who has sensitive skin.
I love the size of the tub that this
product comes in and will last me at least half a year for both the girls and
myself.
BABY BATH GEL 250ML
$22.95
Use this pure and gentle,
sulphate-free cleansing gel for bathing babies and children. Certified organic
pure essential oils of French lavender and German chamomile work together to
relax baby and help soothe and care for delicate skin. Added certified gmo free
natural vitamin e, ensures this product provides effective moisturising whilst
you wash.
This bath gel smells divine, it also
leaves my kids skin smelling great!! I mainly use this on my daughter Hayley
(5yo) who loves her showers and hate using a bar of soap to clean herself as
she is always dropping it and getting really frustrated.
For her all I do is give her a
little face washer and pump one squirt onto the face washer. Hayley will then
work it into her body washing all over, just this one squirt washes her entire
body. It can also be used in the hair if you really wanted to, as it is gentle
enough and will leave their locks smelling beautiful.
I have also used this bath gel in
the shower as well, so it isn’t just for the kids and can work on the big kids
and entire family to. I love using this bath gel as my skin literally glows
afterwards, as it doesn’t strip my skin dry.
PURE HAIR CLEANSE 250ML
$20.95
This gentle, low-sudsing formula
provides a mild cleansing action without stripping away the natural, protective
oils from Baby’s hair and scalp. Certified organic geranium and sweet orange
pure essential oils help to combat scalp dryness, leaving behind a delightful
fresh aroma. To help eliminate cradle cap, follow up with a gentle massage to
the scalp using our Mother and Child oil (for newer babies) or a small amount
of Barrier Balm. Leave in overnight and lightly brush Baby’s hair the next
morning to remove any loosened particles. This is an ideal shampoo for those
with sensitive scalps and an excellent shower gel for the entire family.
Sometimes I find with certain hair
washes and shampoo’s that my little ladies hair end up knotty and literally
squeaky clean (which is a pain to brush, literally.) I think this is because
even though they are baby shampoo’s and cleanses they are still a little to
harsh and strip away all the good stuff where as this gently washes away the gunk
without harming the good natural oil in bubs hair. After I used this on
Hayley’s (5yo) hair she was left with silky, soft, shiny locks that smelt
really good.
There also isn’t a lot of bubbles
and you really have to gently work it into your child’s head. And I found
because there isn’t a lot of bubbles, it is so much quicker to wash out and
doesn’t sting my girls eyes.
PURE BABY™ WASH* for Newborns
150ml
$15.95
A superb top-to-toe wash for
newborns and premature babies, formulated without any drying sulphates. Rest
assured this extra-gentle cleanser is also Aroma-Free™ (has NO essential oils).
Research in UK has found water or Aroma-Free™ product may be best for newborns
for at least the first several weeks of life. Instead pure certified organic
rosehip oil has been used to care for even the most delicate skin. Add a small
amount to warm bath water and agitate to disperse. Gently towel dry baby and
finish with your favourite Aromababy moisturising product.
This is my favourite product to use
on Hayley, who suffers from sensitive skin. From time to time Madison will also
get very sensitive skin and using harsh things on their skin can set it off.
But with Hayley when she gets bad, something as small as essential oils will
set her skin on fire and she will break out in a rash.
When it comes time to adding another
to my family I will be sure to have plenty of this stocked up. I do believe it
is important to wash a newborn, but at the same time I am so scared of what is
going on to their skin. But this is so delicate and natural I am more then
happy to use this. It doesn’t have a smell, which is a good start as I often
find as soon as I can smell something in a wash I know it is bad news for
Hayley and will often not even use it as it just isn’t worth the risk and pain.
I will always makes sure there is
some of pure baby wash in our bathroom that is for sure!!
NATURAL POWDER
(with Organic
LAVENDER) 125GM
$12.95
This natural cornstarch powder is
completely talc free and contains only certified organic, pure essential oil of
lavender to soothe Baby’s skin and refresh the nappy area. Use at nappy change
times and after bathing Baby. Thoroughly cleanse the nappy area and apply a
small amount of the appropriate.
I know there is a lot of confusion
now days with not being able to use baby powder as it can harm the babies lungs
and is unsafe. But that only applies to talc, there are plenty of other SAFE
natural powders on the market. Aromababy has made one of the natural powders,
made out of cornstarch which is actually edible. I wouldn’t say try eat it for
yourself as it wouldn’t taste pleasant with the lavender oil infused into it.
Speaking of Lavender, I love the light aroma this gives off when I use it on my
little ones. Hayley loves using all over her body to help her dry off
completely after a bath (especially on her feet to help her dry in between them
toes.)
I also use this on Madison (2yo) at
nappy change time to absorb some of the moisture from her poor wet bum. It
makes nappy change so much pleasant though, because when it comes to the next
change it actually smells pretty not pongy (unless it is a poop, nothing can
help that smell.)
I have actually used this myself
from time to time to make myself smell beautiful.
