I have always felt a bit ‘guilty’ about using disposable wipes on my 18 month-old daughter, so I was really pleased to try Beaming Baby Certified Organic Baby Wipes. Beaming Baby have even thought about us busy mums too, and I was lucky enough to be able to try their Organic Facial Cleansing Wipes too.
Why would you want to buy these products?
There are lots of baby wipes and facial cleansing wipes available in the shops, so why choose Beaming Baby products? I have never felt happy about using traditional baby wipes as they often have a variety of nasty ingredients listed and they are rarely bio-degradable. The Beaming Baby Certified Organic Baby Wipes are free from parabens, alcohol and sodium laureth sulphate. They are also flushable, hypoallergenic, 100% biodegradable and and totally chlorine free. Perfect!
Beaming Baby also support several charities. 10% of the profit when buying these wipes go to SANCCOB, a charity which rescues penguins form oil slicks on the African Coast and to ‘Baby Lifeline’, giving hospital equipment to baby care units.
What are the products like to use?
Both products are very convenient to use, so are great for when you are in a hurry, or for when you are out. The Certified Organic Baby Wipes come in a neat little pack with a very secure peel open lid. They are great for keeping in your changing bag so that you can use them to clean your baby when you are out or when you are travelling away from home. The Organic Facial Cleansing Wipes also come in a very small, neat pack, so can easily be packed into a washbag for overnight stays away from home.
Any negatives? None.
Price: Both products are great value for money. The Baby wipes cost £2.93 for 72 wipes and the Facial Wipes cost £2.44 for 25. Also remember you can buy in bulk from Beaming Baby and if you buy 11 you get the 12th free.
Overall Rating: 5/5

We were lucky enough to be sent some of these lovely baby bath products from Beaming Baby for review - see what we thought below.
Why would you want to buy these products?
If your baby has sensitive skin or if you prefer to use natural products, then this certified organic range could be the one for you. The company are actively working to reduce their carbon footprint and offset by investing in third world reforestation projects. They also give 10% of their profits to a baby charity and to rescue penguins from oil slicks.
What are the products like to use?
I tried the products out on both myself and my baby. As I live in a hard water area, we often have problems getting products to lather up and produce bubbles. I used a generous slug of bubblebath in the bath, but was pleasantly surprised by how many bubbles were produced and particularly by how long they lasted - they were still there after half an hour’s soak. I hadn’t expected this from a product that wasn’t full of nasty chemicals!
The shampoo is very mild and gentle and didn’t seem to cause any problems with my baby’s eyes while rinsing.
All the products are unperfumed, but I found that the baby lotion had a slightly flowery scent. Some mothers might object to using this on little boys, but I had no problem using it on my little man and he seemed to have no objections.
Any negatives?
None, apart from potentially the scent of the baby lotion.
Price
Normally £3.99 for the shampoo and bubble bath and £4.99 for the baby lotion. You can buy any three bottles for £10.99. Available from Beaming Baby.
Overall
Lovely products that you can use on your baby and be confident that they won’t irritate delicate skin and are produced to high environmental standards.
