Besides a bit of newborn rash, Greenleigh had virtually no skin irritation issues when she was an infant, so it didn’t matter what baby soap I used. I pretty much bought anything that was on sale or that a friend recommended. Hazeline was a totally different story. She had very dry skin right from the start and we really had to work to keep her skin properly balanced. She would also get red splotches on her skin from time to time, so the pediatrician recommended that we be careful with what we bought for her. From that point forward, I was a much more educated consumer when it came to baby soaps, lotions, shampoos, etc. I knew that one wrong purchase and we would be back to square one. As she’s grown, her skin has become easier to care for, but I’m still very careful about what I buy.
When I heard that Live Clean Baby was looking for bloggers to do a review, I jumped at the chance. I was prepared to beg, if needed. Their products are not only eco-friendly, they are made from natural, non-irritating, plant based ingredients, making them very gentle on skin and perfect for my household. Lucky for me, I was chosen…no begging necessary. For my review they provided me with Tearless Shampoo and Wash, Moisturizing Baby Bath, Moisturizing Baby Lotion, Non-Petroleum Jelly, Diaper Ointment, and Moisturizing Bar Soap.
I love all the goodies Live Clean Baby sent me, but let’s talk about my favorites. First, the bar soap. We primarily use bar soaps in our house, but I’m scared to use our soap on either of the girls, because regular bar soaps can really dry out your skin. And it’s nearly impossible to find a bar soap for kids, let alone babies. This put the Moisturizing Bar Soap at the top of my list. Moisturizer + Bar Soap for Baby = The Perfect Combination. The diaper cream also impressed me beyond measure. Due to weeks of illness and medication, we’ve been battling diaper rash with Hazeline, and just when you think it’s gone, it comes back. After using a combination of the Diaper Ointment and Non-Petroleum Jelly for a week, we have had no issues with diaper rash. I’m one happy mommy! And last but definitely not least, the Tearless Shampoo and Wash. Oh, how I love thee. How many times have you used a product that claims to be tearless and it isn’t? I can’t count the number of times. I tried this wash and shampoo on both girls and there was not a tear to be had. Yay for a real tearless product! Finally! And it leaves their hair smooth, shiny, and tangle-free –Bonus!
So many times when you try to buy eco-friendly products, you have to make sacrifices, namely scent and price. Not the case with Live Clean Baby. As soon as I opened the box of goodies they sent me, a light, fresh smell came out of the box. It wasn’t overpowering, but just enough. And I’m not too embarrassed to admit that I loved the scent of the girls’ Live Clean products so much that I almost used them myself (good thing the box of bar soap comes with 3 bars; I’m pretty sure one of those bars is going to end up being mine).
As for price, the first night we used the lotion, I started putting it on Greenleigh’s skin, only to find out that I had taken way too much out of the tube. It was the same amount that we used to use of our old stuff, so I was a little confused. Erajh then popped his head into Greenleigh’s room, saw me battling the excess lotion, and said, “Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you – a little goes a long way with that lotion.” It sure does! One tube of the lotion will last you a long time. Same with the diaper cream and bar soap. And at only $7.99 you won’t be breaking the bank when you do need to pick up some more Live Clean Baby.
One of the things that I love about my blog is the chance to share my experiences with readers. I talk about things I like, don’t like, love, and adore. Let me assure you, the products that I received from Live clean Baby fall into the “adore” category. You know something is a hit in my house when my husband wants to help me with my review. We’ve been using these bath products for a little over a week now and I’m not stopping anytime soon. I will definitely be picking up some more when we run out.

I had never heard of these products before. Great article and will have to check these out! I have a daughter with sensitive skin that we tend to use baby products on as to not irritate her.

Great post, thank you for sharing your experience with these products. I’ve been looking for an all natural (especially petroleum jelly-free) diaper cream. I’ll have to try this brand. You mentioned you combined the non-petroleum jelly with the diaper ointment; is this necessary? Is there a particular reason why you did this? Just curious. Thanks!
Hi! Thanks for visiting! Actually, I didn’t combined the two creams, but I did alternate using them at each diaper change. Basically, I’ve noticed with Hazeline that if I keep using the same cream on her at each diaper change, she will eventually become resistant to it. So for about a week I would do a few changes with the diaper ointment and then a few with the non-petroleum jelly, then back to the diaper ointment, and so on. It made a huge difference!
