Babyganics Product Review | Baby Essentials

Did you know that babies need lots of stuff? I know they say that all you need are diapers and a place for them to sleep at first, but that’s technically not totally true. I’ve forgotten about how many “extras” we needed for Liam when he was a newborn. As we’re getting ready for this new baby, my packing list for North Carolina is steadily growing. Thankfully, we know we can buy anything we need (or forget) while we’re waiting out ICPC. But I also want to make sure we have things ready here at home so we’re not having to run out to the store all the time with a newborn. Thanks to Babyganics, we’ve got a small stash of some important essentials.

We received a little gift basket with the following Babyganics items:

Moisturizing daily lotion (chamomile verbena)
Alcohol-free foaming hand sanitizer (mandarin)
Shampoo and body wash (chamomile verbena)
Mineral-based sunscreen
Face, hand + baby wipes (fragrance-free)
A voucher for diapers (I haven’t received these yet. If you follow along on Instagram, I will post about them there once we get a chance to try them out!)

Liam and I love the lotion. This is probably his favorite product. I was surprised at how long it keeps your skin moisturized. And it doesn’t leave you with that icky, greasy feeling on your hands either that some other lotions do. I’m normally drawn to fragrance-free products since I have a pretty sensitive nose. But the scent of this lotion isn’t too strong.

The hand sanitizer is probably my favorite product. Which surprised me, because usually I’m not a fan of using it. It’s alcohol-free, so it doesn’t sting if I happen to have a cut on my hand. And since it’s a moisturizing formula, I can use it continually throughout the day without feeling like I’m drying out my hands. It’s the perfect thing to have on our changing table for the new baby. Or to have on hand when we have family over and they want to hold him or her. I also really love the light mandarin scent.

I do like that the wipes can be utilized for faces and hands in addition to regular baby wipes. It’s nice to know that one pack of wipes can be used for everything without fear of them being to harsh for sensitive skin. The shampoo and body wash is a tear-free, foaming soap. Which means it’s fun to use (yay, foam!) and gentle on eyes.

We haven’t used the sunscreen yet, since it’s barely spring here in Ohio. You can bet, though, that we’ll use it a ton this summer. Liam’s skin is so much fairer than mine and he burns easily. So skin care isn’t something we can skip when we play outside. You’re not actually supposed to use sunscreen on babies under 6 months old, so the new baby will have to wait until next summer to try out the Babyganics sunscreen.

Product safety is suuuuper super important to me. We try to use more natural products as much as we can. Babyganics scores pretty well on the EWG scale. However, the company has a pretty big line of products that also includes things like laundry detergent and household cleaners. So the ratings vary from product to product. To make sure you’re getting a product you’re comfortable using around your little ones, make sure you do your research and read every label. But, all of the products in this post are non-allergenic, pediatrician and dermatologist tested, and NOT tested on animals. They’re also free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and dyes or synthetic fragrances.

Babyganics products are easily accessible too! We have an Amazon Prime membership, so I tend to order a lot of things with their free two-day shipping. But you can also find Babyganics at grocery stores, big box stores like Target and baby stores. To see their full line of products, you can check out the Babyganics website. You can also find them on Facebook and Instagram for new product releases and sale info.
