If I were to tell you that there are products that are safe for you and your baby, the environment, and also does its part to help the poor, would you believe me? Probably not.
But that's what Human Nature products are. 100% no harmful chemicals. Premium products. Natural cosmetics.
I know what you're thinking. They must cost a bomb. Very surprisingly, they don't.
I recently received a little package that contained a little something for the whole family - baby lotion/baby wash/kids sanitization set and kids natural shampoo and body wash for the girls, and lipstick and lip gloss for me. Oh wait, that would mean there was nothing for Max. Note to self: plant lipsticked kiss on his cheek tomorrow before he sets off for work. There. Settled.

The hand sanitizer: This is one thing that is most often found in mums' bags. Kids touch all kinds of things - rocks, footwear, hawker centre tables, drain covers.... you know. And then what do they do with their horribly dirty hands? They hold their little snacks and put. them. in. their. mouths. Faster than you can scream "germ alert!".
We love this. Just a squirt on each hand, and it's shoo, germs, shoo and peace of mind. Phew. Poppy loves the sweet bubble gum scent so much that she claims she wants to eat the bottle. Um, ok.
What's that? How much, you say? How about $4.90. Pretty awesome huh?

The one thing I cannot get enough of is inhaling in the folds of my baby's neck. At 16 months, Calla is quickly trading baby smell for sweaty smell, and these babies (as in the baby wash and baby lotion, not the babies that made their way through my birth canal) do an awesome job of keeping her clean and smelling oh so nice.
With added chamomile, lavender and rosemary, the baby wash is supposed to give baby a calming and soothing effect during the bath. Well, my little critters love splashing around in the bath, so bath time is anything but peaceful and quiet! But hey, it's soothing for me to know that after that big splash around, they're going to hit the hay and yippee that means quiet time for me.

The lotion is very liquid and takes a while to be absorbed. So what I do is usually squeeze a small amount on my palm, apply it on Calla's body, and while waiting for it to dry and putting on her diaper and clothes, I style her hair with whatever lotion I have leftover.
So I was reading about the lipstick. Ok, I was actually spending a long time choosing my colour. You know how difficult it is to choose the right shade when you're testing lipsticks out on the back of your hand in the department store? Yeah well, try finding the right shade when looking at 5 different hues on your computer screen. I finally decided on Lucky in Love and guess what? After all these years, the one lipstick that I don't test is the one that turned out perfect.
So what was I saying? Yeah. I was reading about the lipsticks, and (eww alert!!!!) did you know that carmine, an ingredient commonly used in lipsticks to achieve the bright pink and red pigments, is derived from the crushed bodies of the female cochineal insects? Ewww, ewww, ewww! Do you mean to say that I have kissed my baby's face and put crushed insects on her cheeks? Ewwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank goodness carmine is not found in Human Nature's line of lipsticks. And at only $9.90 a tube, I think it's really worth it. In fact, that's what the whole Human Nature brand stands for - products that are as gentle on the skin as they are on the pocket. Yay!
