I was researching safe, paraben free sunscreens and came upon the website. They have other products too...if you've tried any of them, please share your thoughts! I have a son with terrible eczema and am thinking of trying out these products...
-
I got a sample pack after the company royally screwed up my order. The wipes are terrible (the opening of the package is really tiny and it's hard to get them out, which isn't ideal with a squirmy kid) and the diapers are just okay. They absorb fine and the other products, like the soap have very distinct scents, which for me, if I don't like them, I can't use them.

I've heard mixed reviews. Ordering seems to be a major problem, and the actual products vary. Seems like they are new and still working out all the kinks.
This Casita reviewed a few products...
http://www.thiscasita.com/2012/05/honest-company-my-final-update.htmlFor eczema, I recommend California Baby products. I use the Super Sensitive shampoo, calendula cream, and lotion on my LO, and it has helped relieved a lot of the dryness in his skin. We tried to switch shampoos, and it made his skin worse. It is pricey but definitely worth the cost.

No experience with the company but have you seen a dermo for the eczema? OTC products weren't working for us so I took DD to the dermo. We were prescribed a low potency corticosteroid. It cleared it up right away and now we only do spot treatments here and there.
-
@Andrea: Yup, we've been to a few pediatric dermatologists and now I use mostly Cerave for daily moisturizing and the steroids for outbreaks. I wanted to find a good sunscreen for him since he's so sensitive.
I guess I'm just wondering if there's something I'm not doing...or if there's something more I can do to give him some relief.
-
@ladylulu: a few other moms have mentioned food allergies and a link to eczema. Have you tried a elimination diet?
-
@Andrea: Yes, we've been to the allergist and he's allergic to so many foods. He stays away from all of it. We've changed mostly everything in our house to natural products...dish soap, body wash, shampoo....but the only thing I haven't changed is the detergent.
We use Dreft...could that be causing some of the itchiness? Maybe I need to start another post asking for some detergent recommendations!
-
@ladylulu: I used to use Dreft as well and I noticed that the eczema may have cleared up a bit when I switched to All Free and Clear. It can't hurt to try a detergent switch!
-
I love their diapers! I know one thing, there is no pee smell like with regular ones! I use them because I wanted safer diapers and daycare doesn't allow cloth. I used the bundle. I cloth diaper at home so I was SOOO glad when they offered individual packs of diapers! The wipes aren't worth it.lol
My LO also broke out from Pampers and Huggies, so I had to find a different diaper. I was more concerned for her health, more than the enviroment.
-
I got the trial pack. I didnt like the scents so I didn't reorder and haven't used them. I thought the diapers were good and held up with my LO overnight. I use the dish washing liquid for all our bottles and pumping supplies. I got the sunscreen as well but haven't used it yet. I did call in the sales rep and they said it was okay for babies younger than 6 months (mine is 4 months).
-
I got the diapers which I thought are cute and sun cream but I haven't used it yet but I read it is safe for babies under 6 mos old and my LO is 3.5 mos.
Have you tried Cetaphil for eczema? It worked for us!
-
Read the ingredients on the honest company...the diapers still have SAP, which is a chemical gel absorbant, that is linked with respiratory & skin irritations.
Some of their skin products are also not safe. Check the EWG database, they still have toxins in them.
For eczema, I've been using coconut oil, it's been helping alot!
