BEE DO…Jo Lauren Baby Skin Care & Bath To The Rescue
Baby’s skin got problem? Then it’s time to bring in Minion Dave! O-O Okay, I’m just kidding. While Dave is intelligent, kind, caring and funny, he probably can’t do much to ease baby’s discomfort. In this case, Jo Lauren, a baby skin care and bath collection made with edible ingredients good enough to put in the mouth might be a better answer to baby’s trouble and mommy’s distress. And while baby’s at it, mommy can also give the products a go. Talk about one product for the benefit of two.
If you haven’t noticed, I have a “Mom & Kid” category here. While my boy is no more a baby, (even though I like to treat him like one) he can still do with some baby products. I love them too because what’s gentle for baby’s skin surely does no harm for mine. I often use baby wash for my body anyway. So when Jolene, the founder of Jo Lauren contacted me about her new products, I agreed to take them for a dip.
95 percent USDA certified organic food grade ingredients
Jo Lauren is really inspired by a mom’s love for her baby girl, and how that translated into a line of food-grade baby products that are both safe and gentle. Jolene wanted a natural, no steriod solution for her daughter who has eczema—products that contain no preservatives, filler ingredients, chemicals, fragrances, dyes and anything inedible. So that’s how she started a baby skin care and bath collection that is formulated for baby’s delicate skin and aptly named after herself and her daughter, Lauren.
Every Jo Lauren product contains at least 95 percent USDA certified organic food grade ingredients. That means no pesticide residues, synthetic hormones and yucky stuff! More interestingly, all Jo Lauren products contain no more than eight ingredients so as to reduce risk of allergy. I say other skin care products developed for sensitive skin can learn something from this principle!

Favorite products and thoughts
Of the products, my favorite has got to be the Baby Miracle Balm. I tried it first on my lips and it was love at first try. I was also pleasantly surprised at how quickly the balm healed a wound on my son’s knee and some rashes on his arms. I definitely recommend having one of these around the home for emergencies whether or not you have little kids. I also like the Castile Wash quite a bit. So did my son. The foam is thick and creamy, feels luxurious on the skin and cleans our skin thoroughly. Plus the scent is pleasantly lovely. But I told Jolene that the pump is a tad difficult to press and so she’s looking into improving it. Finally, it’s a joy to use the Colloidal Bath Bag on my face and again, I had the chance to try it on my son who developed a sudden bout of rash on his body and arms. This definitely helped to soothe those nasty rashes. I wished I had used this when he was having chicken pox!
I’m indifferent about the massage oil though probably because I did not like the smell. However, I was surprised my son reacted well to it because he’s usually quite sensitive about scent. I suppose that might mean that the formulation works well for children.
Overall summary
If you have a baby or a young kid, you’ll want to give these products a try. I have to say the price point is very attractive for the kind of ingredients used. I like that Jolene took special efforts to choose them and even avoided essential oils (which are not necessarily suitable for all skin types) in some of her products. So adults with sensitive skin may even find their products suitable. And if you like castile wash, you might just love Jo Lauren’s because of the luxurious creamy foam.

Baby stuff. I love trying out these kinds of things. Okay, sometimes my baby might feel like a lab rat of sorts but I like finding out things that are good for her.
Will these products be released in places like Watsons or Guardian anytime?
We both have minions in our latest post! Tee-hee <3
I try it more on myself though and sometimes my son if the products are suitable for him.
Not too sure but even though, probably not in the near term.
Oh you have too? I’ll swing by and take a look later. ?
