My True Nature 100% natural & organic kids bath products

A couple of weeks ago, I entered a giveaway for natural, organic kids' bath products from My True Nature. As you know, I have a heck of a time finding things that Logan can use that won't irritate his eczema or provoke an allergic reaction. So, when I come across something I think will be safe for him, I get all kinds of giddy and excited.

As part of the giveaway requirements, I followed this company on twitter. A couple of days later Kelly, the president and CEO of My True Nature, emailed me and asked me if our family had troubles with eczema. Of course I replied that we did (#1, #3, and Logan all have eczema in various stages of severity, from skin sensitivity to bleeding eczema). She offered to send me some products to review. I was happy to accept!

I received a 4 oz. bottle of  Bubbly by Nature Bobo's baby Bubble Bath, and a 4 oz. pump bottle of Stinky by Nature Milo's 2-in-1 Baby Shampoo and Body Wash.

Now. I am the first to be put off by any natural, organic product that doesn't have an appealing scent,or even too much scent resulting in something overpowering like the herb section of the health food store. I was pleasantly surprised to discover the clean, fresh scent of citrus in the shampoo/body wash, and was thrilled when I read ingredients like olive oil, silk amino acids, pro-vitamin B-5 and grapefruit and nutmeg essential oils.

The bubble bath was equally impressive with organic aloe vera, plantain extract, white peony tea extract, and bergamot, lemongrass, litsea cubeba & fresh mint essential oils.

Best of all, it rinses off cleanly, leaves the skin soft and not itchy, and the bubbles are AMAZING, something you don't always see with organic products.

I love it when I can pronounce ingredients without having to sound them out. I love it even more when the products are gluten free, animal cruelty free, and packaged in 100% FDA approved post consumer PET plastic!!  Here's a little background on My True Nature, direct from the website:

The idea for My True Nature™ came after my first baby was born. Like many mothers, I wanted to create a safe home environment. But when I couldn’t find a line of soaps and shampoos that had 100% natural ingredients, performed as well as typical mainstream products, and were completely free of genetically modified organisms, parabens, petrochemicals, phthalates, sulfates, synthetic dyes, synthetic fragrances, triclosan or preservatives, I decided to start producing them myself. Before I knew it, I had a line of products that my friends and family loved. I started selling them by word of mouth, and the business has grown from there.

When I started using my products at home, I put cartoon labels on the bottles to make them laugh. I mean, who doesn't love to make their kids laugh? It is intoxicating. My kids loved them, and that’s when the idea forTubbyTown™, a make-believe bath-time wonderland, was born. TubbyTown™’s residents currently include Dewey the dragon, Daisy the skunk, Clio the teddy bear and Ollie the octopus. Each has its own distinctive personality, and its own dedicated bath-time product. I know your little ones will look forward to playing with them each time they step into the tub just like mine do.

It gets even better! My True Nature recently won the coveted Red Tricycle Award for Most Awesome Kids Skin Care Products! In light of all this awesomeness,  I'm thrilled to announce a giveaway for my readers. My True Nature would like to give one Living with Logan reader living in the US a Holiday travel set just like the one I got (pictured above, left)!

Dolphin Organics Review and #GIVEAWAY!

Remember how I told you that fun things were going to happen here as a result of my trip to BlogHer? Well. Here we go!

While at BlogHer, I had the amazing good fortune to speak with the people from Dolphin Organics, a company that, well.. let me have them tell you what they are all about:

Dolphin Organics™ is a family-owned and operated company right here in the USA. We are committed to making the best, most honest organic and natural products for your baby, while holding ourselves to the highest standards.

 I spoke to Nigel and Ayo Hart, who founded the company, for quite some time at the Expo, and I was sold before I ever held one of their products in my hand.

Check this out! Their products are not only organic and natural, they are...... LOGAN SAFE! This means that there is nothing in the ingredients of ANY of their products that will hurt my extraordinarily allergic little guy. Until this point, there was no such thing as a commercially made soap, lotion, bubble bath, or hair conditioner that did not make Logan's eczema itch and sting, or even make him break out more severely.

With the products from Dolphin Organics, I was able to use the shampoo/body wash, the hair conditioner, the bubble bath AND the lotion with not one adverse reaction from Logan. Not one!! He didn't scratch. He didn't cry and shriek "Owie! Owie! Get it off!"  from the burning sensation hidden alcohol in other products causes. This is a phenomenal occurrence for the Monster House.

Best of all? These products are all tear free and unscented. Now, I know that you have all tried unscented things in the past and thought, holy cow, that smells horrid! But in this case ( and this may be a little more honest than Nigel and Ayo may wish for), after bathing and lotioning Logan, #6, and notorious #5 with these products, the only thing the Daddy said was, "Hey, I smell Cheetos!".  I consider this a success, since the Daddy has a nose more sensitive than a bloodhound.

Here's more from the amazing people that have made this all happen:

As parents of twin girls, we wanted to use only natural and organic products for them. We found that most big brands contain artificial ingredients, and that many products whose labels claim to be natural and organic also contain artificial and potentially harmful ingredients. We decided that the best way to get the products that we wanted was to make our own.

And so, that's exactly what they did!

Here's the fun and exciting part! Dolphin Organics would like to have a giveaway! One lucky person will win a travel set of their products! This set includes four 2 ounce bottles of bubble bath, baby wash/shampoo, hair conditioner, and baby lotion , along with a natural sponge and attractively packaged in a mesh pouch for easy storage or travel. These are also perfect sizes for diaper bags, backpacks, or mom's purse.

And now, the serious stuff, before the fun entering part:
