Method Squeaky Green Baby Lotion

0 comments Posted by tiff snedaker at 8:00 AM

Last week, I reviewed Method's Squeaky Green Baby Wash. Since I really liked this product, I decided to try out the baby lotion as well.

Pros: This has the same rice milk + mallow scent. It's nice to be able to use a wash and then a lotion that smells the same. That way they compliment each other. It has many of the same great features as the wash such as:

* 95% natural

*gentle and non-irritating

*pediatrician tested

*hypo-allergenic

*paraben free.

The design of this is also very mod and cute. The lotion seems to absorb quickly and seems like it would be great for sensitive skin.

Cons: I loved the baby wash. I thought it did a good job moisturizing and smelled great. The lotion on the other hand, I don't think is so great. It is really thin and watery, so you have to use more. It does absorb well, but doesn't really moisturize all that great. I noticed that Chandler's skin looked dry just a few hours after his bath. And his eczema seemed to start flaring up again after we'd used this a few times. It's fine to use on Rowan as he doesn't have a problem with eczema. It's also a little pricey - $7 for 8 ounces. I use a lot of lotion on my boys after they get out of the bath, and we would fly through this little bottle in less than a month. If I'm going to buy a lotion, I expect it to moisturize...wouldn't you?

The Bottom Line: An eco friendly lotion that smells great...and that's about it. Doesn't work well.

Price: $7 for 8 oz

Where to Buy: Target, Method Online, Diapers.com

Johnson's Baby Cream

0 comments Posted by tiff snedaker at 8:40 AM

Johnson's Baby Cream is that classic baby smell in a thicker cream instead of just a lotion.

Pros: It's nice to have this lotion in a cream for dry skin. It does a great job moisturizing and has that great baby scent. It is a very mild formula and is allergy tested. I feel like it does a much better job than the original baby lotion. It comes in an 8 oz size and a soft squeeze tube.

Cons: This isn't the best cream for babies with exzema. I think there are better alternatives to help deal with this type of dry skin. I also think you have to apply often for it's moisturizing benefits.

The Bottom Line: A good lotion with that smells wonderful.

Price: $3.99

Where to Buy: Most major retailers (Walmart, Target)
