REVIEWS:
Emily Fletcher
“This beautiful Calendula Cream Bath creates a soothing, skin nourishing, pleasantly scented, milky coloured bath experience for your child. I found this a beautiful product to use, especially in winter when the children’s skin has been drier. A couple of splashes added when I ran the bath and after a play in the water, I had children with noticeably softer skin.
A beautiful non-toxic moisturising addition to the bathtime routine.
*This product contains almond and sesame seed oil. If you have a baby/child with a high risk of a food allergy or eczema, I would not recommend to use this product until they are eating these foods in their diet and show no allergy. Studies have shown a link between the application of a potential food allergen repeatedly onto the skin and food allergen sensitisation. This increases the potential for severe food allergic reactions when the food is actually eaten. This is especially relevant for a child with a high risk of food allergy and also those with eczema.”

“The Calendula Cream Bath is so soft and luxurious. And just as the name suggests – creamy, smooth and nourishing for the skin. Perfect for delicate skin as it is very gentle. I use it with a wash cloth on my baby’s skin and he enjoys the comforting feel. After his bath he feels clean, moisturised and soft. I find the smell warm and makes you feel happy / uplifted. A lovely natural bath wash.

“Another superb product from this incredible range and I love how easy it is to use – simply add a couple of drops to the bath to give baby an extra boost of moisture while bathing. Given my baby is prone to dry skin and nappy rash, I feel really good about adding this to his bath time routine alongside the calendula shampoo and body wash in the same range. His skin absolutely adores the calendula and the added moisture boost from almond and sesame oils is wonderful too.”

“My gosh I fell in love with this product, so much so that I have hidden it away so I can use it al to myself!! A small amount is enough to hydrate & cleanse the skin, you can feel the product softens the skin immediately, once you rinse it I was hoping that some of the softness of the product on my skin would stay & I wasn’t disappointed. If you want to skip body lotion altogether the try this Cream Bath as a body wash. I soaked in it as well & had the same great results, I can see this product working really well to treat an array of skin complaints from eczema to dry skin, cradle cap & rough dry scaly skin patches.”
