Bubbles Bubbles (Bubble Bath) Made 4 Baby

Our house was a ‘bubble bath free zone’ due to the common chemicals responsible for foaming, not to mention the preservatives, perfumes, and colourants that are often added……..UNTIL NOW!!

Rebecca from Made 4 Baby has recently launched her Bubbles Bubbles – Bubble Bath, with the foaming agent naturally derived from plants…...

...my son is no longer deprived of bubble baths and is having a ball at bath time, his sensitive skin is perfectly at ease also….we tried the gently scented Organic Citrus, for ultra sensitive souls there is also Fragrance Free...

Bubbles, Bubbles like all Made 4 Baby products is free of harsh detergents, petrochemicals, artificial fragrances and parabens….and is made in New Zealand.

Made 4 Baby products are available at selected retailers which are listed on www.made4baby.co.nz where products are also available online ….

a perfect Christmas stocking filler @ $17.95NZD…make bath times fun again… Bubbles Bubbles – Bubble Bath can also be used to blow bubbles instead of household detergents that are often used.

Mr 3 has had the longest bath ever, I’ve had to top up the warm water twice now…he loves all the bubbles!!

Travelling bliss with the Lola & Ben Sleeping Bag

Albeit…a little biased….as the Lola & Ben Sleeping bag is my creation with friend Sigi, I thought it deserved a special mention on Pure Eco....

Recently our family went away for a long weekend and it was the first time our 6 month daughter Holly had been away… taking her Lola & Ben sleeping bag with us made her feel at ease at bedtime outside of her own little cot that she was used to.

At this time of the year….Spring, the Cotton outer together with the 150gm New Zealand Merino inner was perfect. ….if we had been traveling to the tropics, the cotton outer on its own would have been ideal, or similarly if we had been heading to cooler climes the optional 300gm New Zealand Merino inner would have kept her perfectly snug.

The versatility of our sleeping bag, is the world’s only!…...

Being the only sleeping bag Holly will need all year round for up to when she is two, it is cost effective, easy to travel with and perfectly adaptable…what else would you need??

The sleeping bag is available on www.lolaben.co.nz where free worldwide postage applies until further notice!!

Eco Tanka - Teeny Tanka

My 3 year old son has had an Eco Tanka - Teeny Tanka (it’s a 350mL stainless steel drink bottle) for about a year now. All Eco Tanka products are made from 304 food grade stainless steel so it’s naturally BPA free.

Believe me, in the hands of a 3 year old boy….It is virtually indestructible.

Ultra easy to clean, and after cleaning is genuinely clean, unlike plastic which stains, leaches chemicals, and should to be handled correctly etc .

We are doing our bit for our environment, as we refill it every day with fresh water, and we will use it for years to come…actually Stainless steel has a life of 100+ years, and it’s recyclable. Children always need a supply of fresh water..…the Teeny Tanka is perfect for this.

Teeny tankas are designed for kiddies, or for adults who want a bottle which will fit into a small bag or handbag. They hold a volume of 350mls (one large glass) and are ultra light and compact, measuring approximately 125mm from the bottom to the top of the stainless steel area.

Cost effective, healthy, chemical free, environmentally conscious, easy to use and care for…..

The Eco Tanka – Teeny Tanka finally offers a better alternative to children’s plastic drink bottles…just like it used to be…the way it should be!!

Watch out for more Pure Eco reviews of Eco Tanka products, the whole family has them now!!

SABUN Olive & Laurel Oil Soap

bringing simple back...with Sabun

we've found the most devine soap that is perfect for sensitve skin...little and old...

not really a soap as it only consists of olive oil, bay laurel, spring water and salt..it couldn't be more natural...

this soap is the orignal olive oil soap that has been used in the middle east for centuries.....take yourself to a Middle Eastern Spa with every shower.......

handmade in Syria for over 500 years

the way nature intended...baby style

precious newborns aren't able to tell us when the are hot or cold.

providing the perfect environment for your newborn or toddler is vital. We as parents and care givers need to provide the optimum conditions to ensure they are comfortable. The array of synthetic fibers used to produce newborn clothing and accessories in recent years generally don’t breathe.

we need to get back to basics....

what would grandma have used?...cotton and wool......these time proven fabrics are ideal to provide the optimal conditions for comfort. Such natural fibres provide a microclimate by creating a buffer against changing conditions and insulating the skin from the external environment.

Lola & Ben - New Zealand Made Style for Little Ones are passionate about natural materials....providing beautiful natural products for newborns....

inspiration

you know when you have one of those moments that inspires you to put your thoughts....and scribbles in your ideas log into action..

mine was while replacing my son's 'mainstream' toothpaste i noticed that the had added Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLS) to the ingredients since i last bought it...

...absolutely horrified that anyone could put this in a product that my son would probably swallow...i had actively avoided this chemical in shampoos etc for our family for years now.

here i will keep you updated of products i find in my crusade to bring ECO MAINSTREAM....there is no need for these added toxins....

...i'll help you find products that are naturally better for your family, and that I would use with my family....
