I have used several different brands of natural laundry detergents, but this has become my newest favourite. Pros - fragrance-free, toxin and chemical-free, good value, does a great cleaning job. Cons - some tougher stains may require a second round of washing (i.e., grass stains and food stains that were not treated quickly enough), your laundry doesn't have that fresh, "clean" smell. Again, the pros massively outweigh the cons! Another pro - I use this detergent diluted in water to clean many other things - couches, spot-clean area rugs and carpets, etc. It is a pretty versatile product! -

I'm very picky when it comes to my children's bath products and will only use the safest brands that do not use chemicals and other unsafe ingredients. Hello Bello is one of these brands! Their bubble bath is amazing. It uses organic, plant-based ingredients and the bubbles actually last for awhile, which is where many natural products fail! Our favourite bubble bath brand for sure! -
THINKBABY SAFE SUNSCREEN SPF 50+

Little do many know, but sunscreens are FULL of chemicals! That you put on your body and your children's bodies, and that are absorbed by your skin and into your body. You are basically choosing a lesser evil - the dangers of the sun's UV rays versus the chemicals you have to use to protect your body from them! One of my children battled a severe sun allergy and needed to have sunscreen reapplied all of the time. I hated using the sunscreens that were full of chemicals because we were having to put sunscreen on him so often. After some research, I came across the Think sunscreen line. Seriously, its amazing! There are definitely some cons to consider - they are more time-consuming to apply because they do not come in a spray format, it's a fairly thick, white lotion that is difficult to rub in super effectively and my husband gets annoyed because it often gets stuck in his facial hair, making it nearly impossible to rub in effectively. But the pros far outweigh the cons in my opinion! This sunscreen is SAFE, which is important when you are applying it multiple times on your little ones' bodies! I find it to be very effective in terms of how waterproof it is. You do need to reapply after swimming, just like any other sunscreen. But you can tell when you are trying to wash it off of your hands after applying just how strong and water-repellent it is. This is our go-to for our whole family and I couldn't imagine using a safer brand on our bodies. -

I have always used natural baby wipes on my kids and have gone through a few great and a few not-so-great brands. This one definitely comes up high on my great list! They are fragrance and chemical-free. The wipes aren't the thickest, but they are still very effective and do not dry out quickly. They are made up mostly of water and I have always felt confident when using them to wipe my baby's hands and face without having to worry about her ingesting chemicals and other toxins from them. Price-wise they beat out my favourite brand. I get more wipes for less money, which is ideal when I still have two children in diapers! I will continue to buy this amazing brand! -

I began using these diapers when my daughter was a couple of months old. She has very sensitive skin and basically had a constant diaper rash that I couldn't get under control. Almost immediately after switching over to these diapers her rash began to disappear and has not come back. They are fragrance-free and do not use chemicals or lotions like many other brands do. I only wish this brand was around when my boys were young, as they battled terrible diaper rashes at the hands of the chemical-filled brands like Huggies and Pampers. Great product for a great value! -

If using healthy, plant-based products is important to you, then Attitude is the brand you need to be buying! We use this baby wash on all 4 of our children ages 10 months to 9 years old. It smells amazing, is highly rated as a safe, carcinogen-free product on EWG.org and is reasonably priced. One bottle lasts us at least 3 months when used on the 4 kids. I haven't bought another brand of body wash and shampoo for over 6 years and will not be doing so as long as this product is being made! -
