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.

You do not have to be sporty or into yoga to appreciate this gorgeous sportswear from Gossypium, but it may just entice you to go to that exercise class you have talked about, but never got  round to going to.

Sports Tunic

This gorgeous sports tunic is flattering yet practical.  Comes in two colours, black or sweet grape, in sizes 10-16.  Made from organic and fair trade cotton with a touch of lycra to give it plenty of stretch.  Price is £24.

Cropped Foldover Trousers

Again made from a mix of organic and fairtrade cotton and lycra, these trousers are kept in place by the unique waistband, which saves the elastic.  You have  a choice of two colours, eco white or black, coming in sizes 10-18.  Price is £32.
