Things I Love... Again

My baby boy had really dry skin throughout the winter. Even though spring had arrived and brought some humidity along for the ride, his skin had not completely become smooth as a baby's bottom. Well, his bottom was smooth, but his back was still dry in patches. We tried the mainstream baby lotions, we tried Vaseline, Aquaphor, and baby oil. Nothing made his skin completely better.

Then I tried Caren enfants Moisturizing Treatment for Babies. Ta-da!!! I swear, overnight, after weeks and weeks of dryness, Benjamin's skin transformed back to the silky soft beauty the rest of his body still was. Amazing. And I love this stuff.



Funny thing is I had this in his room the whole time, but since we had "won" it at a charity auction a long time ago and really knew nothing about it, I just had the container stashed away with no intention of using it. Then one night we ran out of the regular stuff that was not really helping anyway, so I used this instead. And Voila!

The basket I won also had Cleansing Milk, which I like to use, and a diaper rash treatment which I have never tested because Ben has one lucky bum that has never had diaper rash. *crossing fingers and knocking on wood!!!*

What I like about this product:
*it is not tested on animals.
*it is safe for the face
*it smells yummy
*it contains Shea butter

What I'm not in love with:
*it contains parabens (as do the mainstream lotions but that doesn't mean it's a great thing)
*it's kinda expensive. I looked it up online and it is $17 for 8 ounces. This makes me happy my money went to charity. I'm normally cheap and would not pay this much for lotion. But now that I know how much I like what it does... Well, I might shell out the $$. We will see.

Has anyone tried the shampoo? I would love to know what you think!
