I have been thinking about getting all the chemical products out of my house for awhile. A lot of beauty products contain parabens and the nasty PEG in the ingredients. I am stubborn and I like my products but I decided it is time. Chemicals all over my skin and B's skin....can't be good in the long run. I eat mostly healthy foods so why not do the same on the outside.
I am obsessed with my hand cream and body lotion. Kiehl's. But unfortunately there it was, PEG in the bottle. I am silently morning the loss of these wonderful products but I must say goodbye. I use there face care products and they are all 100% natural so no worries there.
My friend got me a lotion and soap for my birthday from a brand called 100 percent pure and I really like them. I think I'll try and love it just as much.
Now as far as B goes. I love his Aveeno creamy wash but it's loaded with chemicals. His Aveeno lotion is fine but I think I want to switch over to Baby Bee. There whole line is all natural. Has anyone tried this?? Or any other chemical free stuff you like? We use Johnsons Natual line but I'm not super happy with the lotion.
Has anyone else gone natural?? I notice my shampoo and hair spray is loaded too....small steps. One thing at a time!

I'm curious what face care products do you use? I'm trying to eliminate chemicals as well currently I use various Olay wrinkle creams but they seem to contain so many chemicals. And do you have any recommendations for shampoo? Thanks!
We have used California Baby for our son since day one and I can't say enough about their products -- they are amazing...and natural! We use some Burt's Bees baby products, too, and like those as well. My husband and I have used nearly all the Burt's Bees products (shampoo, lotions, etc) and really like them. They say right on the bottle how natural they are (most are 99% and over half are 100% natural). I think you'd be happy with them.
Shea Moisture makes great products for kids. The lotion and the ointment are favorites of ours!
Any of the Burt's Bees products are WONDERFUL!! The Baby Bee line is really nice, I have sensitive skin and I use the line!
I have used a couple products for myself by Juice beauty. I love their oil free moisturizer.
Heather, don't forget to be careful yourself of cross contamination with the Aveeno products...they all (I think) have gluten. My daughter had to stop using the Bath and Bodyworks...they were loaded. It was amazing how her chapped little hands recovered after she stopped using it. Pure sounds so ugh better.
I use almost exclusively Burt's Bees for both me and my daughter. I love them because they smell great and don't feel any different than the stuff with chemicals in them.
I really like orgins and most of their products if not all are paraben free
I use the Burt's Bees baby line for myself! I love it and find it works really well. I use the bath/shampoo wash and the lotion. Also, the Mama Bee line is great too (I rarely admit that I use this since I'm no where near being a Mama). Another option is Weleda. It's more expensive but might meet some of your needs. Also, they have a baby line too.
Baby Bee is wonderful and smells heavenly! Dr. Bonner's also has a mild unscented baby wash that is great!
Awesome! Good for you :)
Check out this website- it's very helpful as it breaks down what's harmful in products and even "rates" them for safety (lowest in chemicals)
oops- forgot the website, here it is
