Skin Soothing Lotion and Chest & Nose Relief

Baby Concepts is 100% natural and organic, containing Australian certified organic essential oils for its pure and therapeutic purpose.  Calendula is chosen as the main oil in this range due to its anti-inflammatory and gentle properties, which is wonderful for rashes, eczema and sensitive skins, commonly found in babies.

I really looked forward to Baby Concepts review, not only because im TRYING to become an Organic convert but because my daughter has sensitive skin therefore any lotions we use on her must be fragrance free. But each time we try something new it either aggravates her rash or doesn't live up to the promise therefore we always return back to Sorbelean Cream.

The 10g samples I received were Baby Concepts most popular products - "Skin Soothing Lotion" and "Breathe Naturally" Chest and Nose Relief Balm.

My review

Skin Soothing Lotion.

I didn't expect to see as much result as I did from these tiny samples. The lotion is very creamy but yet has a thin texture which made it conveniently quick and easy to apply on my active son who hates creams.

I tested a small amount on my hands prior to my son, the lotion didn't have an oily base nor an oily feeling after. The texture made it easy to blend into my skin and it left a refreshingly soft feeling after.

I'm not sure if it was the Almond or Vanilla extract that gave the lotion a faint soothing smell. Once I applied the lotion to my son, the smell wasn't noticeable at all - which I didn't mind.

Test Drive on my Daughter

According to my daughter the lotion "doesn't itch or burn" , nor did she have a reaction to it. YEAHHH 

Test Drive on my son - 

What better way than to 'test drive' on my son who bumped his chin onto the coffee table the same week we received the samples. Now, this is what you call a dedicated PR team ....!

(before)maybe not the best shot - but he was very sick & clingy .

signs of healing

If you can make it out, the "before" photo was taken 2 days after he scraped his chin. I applied the lotion 3 times a day, mainly on his sore, and his cheek areas. I started noticing the red circle around the sore on day 3.
A week later the scrap had fallen off and his sore was healing on its own.

(after)Notice the scrap has fallen and now its just new skin healing.

Overall, I was impressed with Baby Concepts "Skin Soothing Lotion", this is one review I enjoyed and benefited from, so much so that I purchased a 125ml lotion. I did find $16.95 a little pricey compared to other Organic lotions but we also know we do get what we paid for, and this I believe is one of  the best Lotion we have tried til now.






"Breathe Naturally" Chest and Nose Relief Balm.

I did have to mix the balm while in the tub, as the oil sits on top of the balm giving it a melted look.

The balm does have a slightly grainy texture when rubbed between my fingers but when applied onto my sons chest it had a more smooth easy to spread feel. As it is a balm, it does leave the skin with a slight shine but that's expectant.

I did have to mix the balm to blend the oil back with the balm prior to applying.

I currently use Vicks Vaprorub on my kids, while I don't feel its enough to help clear their chest or nose, as a mum though who is desperate for quick results and solution, I will continue to rub Vicks on their chest and their pillow.

I found the Balm to work just as well as Vicks Vaparub but without the heavy Eucalyptus scent to add to the "cold/flu smell" - which only a mum will understand what a "cold/flu" smell really is - dirty house, Eucalyptus oils, closed windows, and kids coughing.

  The balm is Non-Toxic which was accidentally tested by my Tarzan JNR who has a habit of eating and drinking everything that's a no-no. His tried my "non-toxic" craft glue, the girl's crayons, my vitamins and now he decided he will eat or lick (don't know how he did it) but he finished the balm sample tub. So, not only did I have a panic attack,but I also had to request another sample to finalise my review.

Overall, I loved the smell of the balm and will continue applying the balm on all three of my children and myself.

 Delivery & Packaging: I received the package well packed in a bubble wrap envelope 3 days after my payment. Again, very impressive, safe, secure and friendly transaction.
