A few weeks before Scout was born I agreed to try some of the new baby care products from Arbonne.
Unfortunately, the rep couldn't send me any samples bigger than these 3ml tubes, so I feel I can't give a full review on these products.
For any skincare, I would usually like to test a product for at least a week for see how the skin reacts, and how the product performs. So due to the fact that we only got one use out of these little samples, I figured I'd write a 'first impressions' kind of post instead.
Hair & Body Wash
I very much liked this wash. I found the scent to be pleasant and not too strong, something I think is important for a baby product. The product isn't too thick and lathers just enough to make it feel like it's working, but doesn't create so many bubbles that it becomes overwhelming. I found it rinsed well and didn't leave any residue; it also didn't seem to dry out Scout's skin.
Body Lotion
Probably my favourite of the four products.
The body lotion is a smooth cream, not too thick. Again, it had a very subtle scent, nothing that would seem too offensive to a babies nose. Scout still has pretty dry skin and upon first use this seemed to kick some of it. It sank in very quickly, leaving his skin feeling soft, moisturised and most importantly, not sticky.
Water Resistant Sunscreen
As Scout is only five weeks old, I haven't tried this on him.
The sunscreen has a distinct smell of aniseed. It's pretty strong and took me a little by surprise. The smell does fade quite quickly and becomes the familiar smell of sunscreen.
The cream itself sinks into skin incredibly fast and doesn't take much rubbing. Unlike many sunscreens, this one doesn't leave a greasy residue on the skin and actually makes your skin feel incredibly soft.
Herbal Nappy Cream
Lastly, the nappy cream is thick, but workable. It's easy to apply and sits well on the skin. I could see from the couple of uses we had, that this cream had sunk into the skin well and reduced the redness on Scout's toosh.
I'm pretty impressed with the results we were able to achieve with minimal uses; and I'd be very interested to see how these products work on a long term basis.
