Big Deal: 20% Off MethodBaby

Heather Kuldell — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 16:24:00 GMT

In an effort to stretch our pennies, we’ve imposed a strict rule on all the bottles we have in the bathroom: Use it ALL up before purchasing more. Right now, we need to stock up. Anyone else who needs to replenish -- or perhaps stock up for baby shower gifts -- can go the Method site and stock up on a bundle of its MethodBaby line. For $22.50, you get the body lotion, bubble bath, body wash and diaper cream, which usually cost $7 a pop if bought individually. Not only are the products organic, they are hypo-allergenic and pediatrician tested. Bonus: The body wash’s top is a handy bowl for rinsing little ones off.

7 Days of Skin Care: Bad Ass Booty Balm

Aaron Burgess — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 19:49:00 GMT

In case Heather's recent post about Tough Titties Nipple Rub and Gwynne's round-up from way back didn't make it clear, we've been all over Least Likely 2 Breed's cheekily named skincare products for a while now; so what better time than this week's 7 Days of Skin Care feature to shake that ass in the general direction of another fave from Least Likely 2: Bad Ass Booty Balm diaper ointment.

Though neither 100% natural (it's got some lab-derived ingredients) nor vegan-friendly (unless you consider emu oil to be plant-derived), BABB is 100% soothing for baby's bottom, and since it's free of questionable common ingredients like parabens and lavender oil, the balm also promises not to make baby boys grow breasts or disrupt children's endocrine systems while it's cooling their tushies. Not a bad tradeoff for "all natural," if you ask us.

Bad Ass Booty Balm does, on the other hand, smell great, thanks to chamomile blue essential oil. As for active ingredients, it's loaded with natural skin-soothers -- aloe butter, lanolin, beeswax, Peru balsam oil, helichrysum essential oils, and the aforementioned emu oil -- as well as zinc oxide, which you'll probably recognize from standard-issue butt creams.

Get your ass to Least Likely 2 Breed for more info, and pick up a tin for $5.99.

Baby Got BPA-Free Back With Illumina Baby Bottom Balm

Aaron Burgess — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 15:04:00 GMT

Certified both organic and kosher, this Baby Bottom Balm from Illumina Organics combines natural herbs and oils, as well as zinc oxide and vitamin E, to help combat rashes and other baby-bottom blights, but it's also notable for its packaging. Illumina's toxin-free new line of baby-care products (which, we should add, is part of a whole family of natural skincare products from the company) comes in bottles free of phthalates and bisphenol-A (BPA).

$11.99 from Illumina Organics.

The Babble Review: Body Balms by Least Likely 2 Breed

Gwynne Watkins — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 18:20:00 GMT

One of my co-workers looked horrified when these tins of ointment, with quasi-tasteless names like "Bad Ass Booty Balm" and "Mother Effer's Va-J-J Jelly," arrived in our office. Clearly, this colleague does not receive weekly samples with cutesy names like "Mama's Love Honey Tummy Bunny Rub." I say these products are a refreshing, and very funny, change. The ointments are shipped inside a diaper, which is a little weird, but apparently it's a functional alternative to packing peanuts. Every product has a refreshing, all-natural ingredient list, heavy on the coconut oil, lanolin and beeswax. The texture is pretty much what you'd expect from those ingredients, and the essential-oil scents are delightful: the nipple rub smells of citrus, geranium and cloves, while the diaper balm smells like a bakery. (The Va-J-J jelly will make your nether regions smell like a coconut, which is a personal choice.) Best of all, they're supercheap for all-natural products: only $6 a pop.

Calidou Spa Baby Products - Help or Hype?

Carmen — Thu, 07 Jun 2007 11:02:00 GMT

Oh, my. $16 for baby bottom cream? Even if it does promise "irrestible softness," I'm not sure I can pay that price without cringing. Who really wants a soft baby bottom, anyway?

Billed as a fusion of quality, softness, performance and results, the name Calidou originates from the French meaning "gentle caress". Made with natural ingredients chosen for their high quality epidermal protection, dye and fragrance free, the line showcases shampoos, cleansing lotions - what we call soap in our house - bubble bath and various moisturizing creams.

I'm sure it smells great. I'm sure that it makes for super soft baby skin. Let's hope that for 16 bucks, it does everything it says it will.
