WELCOME!

Hi there, and welcome to my little corner of the internet! I’m so excited to share my journey with you as I start building Mama Naturally. As a mom to two beautiful little ones, Livi (3) and Ashton (1), I’ve learned how important it is to make mindful choices when it comes to the products I use on their delicate skin. When I first started researching non-toxic baby products, I was overwhelmed by the options, but over time, I found the ones I truly trust—and now I want to share them with you. I believe that every mama deserves to know about the best products for their babies’ skin, and that’s exactly what I’m hoping to offer here. Let’s dive in and talk about why choosing non-toxic products is so important for your little ones—and why these are the ones I swear by!

From diaper rash ointments to lotions and even toothpaste, I’ve carefully selected these products to help nourish and protect my kids’ skin without any harmful chemicals or synthetic fragrances. It’s all about finding what works—and these products do just that, with gentle ingredients that are free from parabens, phthalates, and other nasties. So if you’re looking to switch to non-toxic baby care or just want to update your current routine, this list is for you. Let’s dive in!


1. Burt’s Bees Baby Bee 100% Natural Diaper Rash Ointment

Let’s start with something every parent needs in their arsenal—diaper rash ointment. Livi and Ashton both had their fair share of diaper rashes, and this is one of the only ointments I’ve found that works overnight. I love that Burt’s Bees is 100% natural and ranks a perfect 0 on the Think Dirty app. With 40% zinc oxide, it creates a protective barrier that seals out moisture while soothing their irritated skin. I’ve seen incredible results, and it’s one of those products I always keep stocked!

2. Burt’s Bees Baby Bee All Over Ointment

This is another Burt’s Bees product that I can’t live without. It’s perfect for those dry patches or moments when their skin feels a little extra sensitive. Whether it’s from a dry winter or an accidental scrape, this ointment has become my go-to. With ingredients like beeswax and olive oil, it hydrates and nourishes their skin, and I love that it’s free from any harsh chemicals. This balm is thicker and more nourishing — exactly what my daughter’s stubborn eczema needs.

3. Honest Brand Diapers

Okay, let’s talk about diapers. Honest Brand Diapers are a game-changer. They’re soft, absorbent, and free from chlorine, latex, and fragrances. Livi and Ashton have never had an issue with irritation or rashes, which is something I can’t say for every diaper we’ve tried. The plant-based materials give me peace of mind, and I love knowing that these diapers are as gentle on their skin as they are on the environment.

4. Honest Baby Wash & Conditioner

Bath time is always a fun time at our house (until someone starts splashing too much!), and having a gentle baby wash and conditioner is key. I use Honest Baby Wash & Conditioner for both Livi and Ashton because it’s made with natural ingredients like aloe and calendula. It’s sulfate- and paraben-free, so I can feel good knowing that it won’t irritate their sensitive skin. Their hair comes out soft and shiny, and their skin stays moisturized after every wash.

5. Honest Baby Lotion

You know that feeling when your baby’s skin is soft and smooth, and you just want to keep it that way? This lotion does exactly that! I use it after every bath on both Livi and Ashton. With organic shea butter, jojoba oil, and calendula, it helps lock in moisture, leaving their skin silky soft and nourished. It’s also free from synthetic fragrances, so it won’t overwhelm them with a strong scent. I love how quickly it absorbs without being greasy.

6. Honest Detangler Spray

Now that Livi has longer hair, detangling has become a part of our routine. Honest Detangler Spray is a lifesaver for this step. It’s made with chamomile and aloe, making it gentle on Livi’s scalp and hair. Plus, it works wonders for getting through those tangles without causing any discomfort. It’s a quick and easy solution, and I love that it’s free from parabens, sulfates, and artificial fragrances—just safe, clean ingredients.

7. Honest Bubble Bath

Bubble bath time is a highlight for both Livi and Ashton. This Honest Bubble Bath creates the perfect amount of bubbles and smells so calming, thanks to ingredients like chamomile and calendula. It’s gentle on their skin and free from sulfates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances, so I don’t have to worry about any skin irritation. It’s a favorite for our evening wind-down routine!

8. Earth Mama Castile Soap

When I need a multi-purpose product, Earth Mama Castile Soap is always my first choice. This is the soap I use to clean everything from Livi’s skin to the dishes and even some toys around the house. Made with organic olive and coconut oils, it’s incredibly gentle yet effective. I can use it in the bath, as a body wash, or even as a gentle hand soap, knowing it’s free from harsh chemicals and fragrances.

9. Earth Mama Lotion

After a bath, Earth Mama Lotion is my go-to for moisturizing. Made with olive oil, calendula, and chamomile, it deeply nourishes their skin without being greasy. I love how soothing it is, especially after a long day of running around, and it’s free from parabens, phthalates, and artificial fragrances. It’s such a gentle product, perfect for both Livi and Ashton’s delicate skin.

10. Radius Children’s Toothpaste

We can’t forget about oral care! Radius Children’s Toothpaste is fluoride-free and made with natural ingredients like xylitol and organic chamomile. I love that it’s safe to swallow (because let’s be real—my kids tend to swallow their toothpaste!). It leaves their mouths fresh without any harsh chemicals, and it comes in a kid-friendly flavor that Livi and Ashton enjoy.

11. Botao Children’s Toothpaste

Another option for toothpaste that I trust for my kids is Botao Children’s Toothpaste. This fluoride-free formula is made with organic ingredients and is designed to gently clean their teeth while protecting their sensitive gums. The natural flavor is great for young kids, and it’s free from artificial sweeteners, dyes, and other chemicals found in conventional toothpaste.

12. Organic Baby Bamboo Toothbrushes

Brushing their teeth is an essential part of the routine, and I’ve recently switched to using Organic Baby Bamboo Toothbrushes for both Livi and Ashton. These toothbrushes are gentle on their gums and teeth, and I love that they’re made with eco-friendly bamboo. Plus, they’re BPA-free and naturally antimicrobial, making them the perfect non-toxic option for little ones.

13. Greenzla Kids Bamboo Toothbrushes

Greenzla Kids Bamboo Toothbrushes are another great option for little ones. These toothbrushes come in fun, vibrant colors that make brushing their teeth more enjoyable. The bamboo handles are sturdy and eco-friendly, and the bristles are soft enough for their sensitive mouths. It’s a great, sustainable alternative to plastic toothbrushes, and I feel good knowing they’re not contributing to plastic waste.


Why I Love These Products for Livi & Ashton:

As a mom, it’s essential to me that I’m using products that are safe, natural, and effective for my kids. With Livi and Ashton, I always want the best for them, which is why I trust these non-toxic products for their daily routines. They keep their skin soft, smooth, and protected without exposing them to any harmful chemicals. Plus, I love knowing that these products are eco-friendly, making them better for both my children and the planet.
