Natural skin care and beauty care brand, Burt’s Bees, recently rolled out new versions of their popular Baby Bee Nourishing Lotions. The Original, Lavender and Fragrance Free formulas are pediatrician-tested, 99% natural and hypoallergenic.
In addition to being paraben-, phthalate- and petrochemical-free, part of the “new and improved” equation is that the fragrances in the Baby Bee Nourishing Lotions are also 100% natural.
I like the thick, but non-greasy consistency of the Fragrance Free Baby Bee Nourishing Lotion. The combination of aloe, shea butter and other ingredients create a gentle moisturizer for the tiniest babies, but are just as effective for rough and tumble kids, such as my own. This is my new go-to baby lotion, and one that’s worth checking out.
Having used Baby Bee almost exclusively for our extremely sensitive and allergy-prone kid (I swear by the Baby Bee diaper cream and apricot oil), I love hearing that the fragrances in the lotions are now all natural. Synthetic fragrances are often linked to being allergens, hormone disruptors and/or other forms of toxins. It’s always imperative to do your research when choosing products, because terms like “natural” on products and labels can sometimes be misleading.
As much as I adore Burt’s and continue to religiously use many of the products, there are a few products that have less than desirable ratings on Cosmeticdatabase.com. Since this lotion has a new formula, I’m not sure the database has been updated to reflect that, nevertheless, it’s still important to do your research before buying.
Burt’s Baby Bee Nourishing Lotions come in Original, Lavender and Fragrance Free, and can be found in stores now.
