In addition to the reasonable cost for this product, I also noted that it left both kids' skin feeling soft and smooth. No film, no residue, no little crusty patches where their skin was drying out - especially good for us since my son has dry skin.
Now to the parts that I didn't like so much. This baby wash is heavily citrus-scented, not so bad in itself, but recently a lot of chemical hair-dye kits have also come with a "citrus" scent. Last time I dyed my hair, the citrus-combined-with-chemical-stink blend was so strong I couldn't even stay in the bathroom and had to get some fresh air. Unfortunately, because of this I am left with the remaining stigma of the citrus 'stink' and don't really care for the smell on this baby wash. I'm sure for others, the strong citrus smell is pleasant, or at the very least a non-issue. For me though, I feel like I just dyed my baby's hair every time I get a whiff of her head! On another note, it appears that I now have a strong grip of the 'smell-linked-to-memory' arrangement.
One last thing I didn't entirely like (but understand, since there is a necessity for certain ingredients) is that there were some things on the back of the sample that I didn't understand. I like to be able to turn over a natural product, scan through the wording, and be able to comprehend what exactly is inside. When I see things like Sodium Coco Sulfate, Decyl Glucoside, Magnesium Chloride... etc, etc, I get a little antsy. However, this product is USDA Certified to be Biobased at 98% (which means 98% of it is derived from plants), so I'll have to take their word for it, even though I don't exactly think the government-run USDA always has my best interests at heart... (*cough, cough, Monsanto!, cough*) LUCKILY... I do trust Seventh Generation. And I'm sure that they wouldn't print anything about their product that wasn't true. Green companies are well-known for having their consumers' needs in mind, something that drives my 'green' purchases almost every time.
Will I buy this product? Probably. I'll just be sure to steer clear of the kids' heads until my traumatizing citrus-hair-dye experience fades in my mind. I did sign up on their website, which says it will let me have access to special deals, programs and coupons, and if I get a good deal I'll most likely grab a few products at once.

I am wondering how well this would work for teens also. Thank you so much for the great review, I am going to check and see if it would work for my teens. Our water is so hard on them, that it would be nice to find something to help them have soft skin
ReplyDeleteOne thing I saw about the product was that it was made with olive oil, so I'm guessing that is where the extra boost of moisture came from. It didn't even leave a greasy feel!
DeleteI haven't tried SG's wash but it seems to be awesome! I've heard great things about it! Also, thank you for the coupon code!
