Goat's Milk Lip Balm. Wierd. Amazing.

Ever wondered why goat's lips are so soft?

Believe it or not, goat's milk contains the highest percentage of naturally occurring compounds which help to moisturize the skin and contribute to its softness. Goat's Milk has long been known as a rejuventor of the skin.

Canus has combined goat's milk with a non-petroleum base and have managed somehow to get it all into one of those little tubes. In order to stay away from those yucky waxy petroleum formulations, Canus has combined goat's milk with virgin olive oil, organic beeswax, organic soybean oil, organic hemp seed oil and spearmint essential oils.

Canus Goat's Milk Lip Balm is lightly fragranced with a hint of spearmint.

Hippo Sweat Sunscreen? Huh?

California Baby Sunscreen

According to the American Journal of Public Health, (Vol. 82, No. 4, April 1992, pp. 614-15), melanoma has been on the rise in areas with heavy sunscreen use.

Whatever happened to the good old days when sunscreen was supposed to help prevent skin cancer? I was absolutely shocked to visit my local drugstore and read the sunscreen labels, only to find that not a single one of them was free of the multitudes of cancer-causing agents that plague bottled sunscreens.

Sadly, the health food store wasn't much better. The best sunscreen I found was California Baby, which has mostly natural ingredients, but I have to admit, it's not fool-proof either. The main ingredient, Titanium Dioxide, seems almost unavoidable these days. I was, however happy to see California Baby Sunscreen was PABA-free and devoid of most of the other carcinogenic chemicals that other sunscreen bottles.

On our last trip to the zoo, I learned that hippos actually sweat a natural sunscreen substance. I haven't quite figured out how to scale the fence and jump the moat at the zoo to rub up against a hippo before I expose myself to the sun's harmful rays, but if I one day do, I'll finally have a five-star sunscreen to review on this blog.

Until then, I'll stick with California Baby Sunscreen.

Organic Baby Shampoo --- Not Just For Babies

Nature's Baby Organics Shampoo and Body Wash

After exhaustive research, I bought a bottle of Nature's Baby Organics Shampoo and Body Wash for my daughter. I was so amazed by the quality of this shampoo that I wish they would change the name to "Nature's Mommy Organics." My new motto is, "You're never too old to wash with baby shampoo."

The shampoo is so luxurious and soft, made with vegan natural products, and without any of those nasty Methylparabens and Phenoxythanol. The Vanilla-Tangerine Scent smells like one of those Creamsicle popsicles I used to consume by the box-full as a child. Yummy!

After using this Nature's Baby Organics Shampoo and Body Wash, our hair was noticeably softer, silkier, and easier to brush than it had ever been before. Baby has been much less fussy in the bathtub --- I think the scent calms and soothes her.

Nature's Baby founder Adena created the shampoo when her daughter suffered allergies to chemicals, perfumes, and dyes, and her other daughter had eczema.

A small amount of the shampoo creates a sizeable lather. I was impressed by how long-lasting the bottle was.

This shampoo is not just a wash --- it's an experience.
