Product Review: Shea Moisture Baby Lotion

Note: I won this product in a Twitter giveaway by Shea Moisture. It was not provided to me for the purposes of writing this review. After the review was written, I contacted Shea Moisture to see if they'd like to do a little giveaway for y'all, and they said, "of course!" I can't wait for you guys to get to try these products!

My little guy has really sensitive skin. He's had rashy mild eczema on and off since birth. The doctor suggested a steroid cream, but that seemed like unnecessary medication to me... As my house is just nearly chemical-free, I've chalked it up to nature and hope he outgrows it.

I've tried several natural baby lotions, including Burt's Bees and Yes To Baby Carrots, to remedy the rashes, but none of them completely cleared him up.

Everytime we go see his Nana and Papa out in (very, very dry) West Texas, he comes back extra dry and scratchy all over his little tummy and back. It just so happened that when we came back from our camping trip out there last week, my package of Shea Moisture Baby Lotions were waiting for me by the front door (along with my other mountain of online shopping deliveries - I may need an intervention, but will never admit it).

After his bath, I slathered Little Bear down with the lotion. The first bottle that I opened was Olive & Marula Lotion with Avocado & Shea Butter. Yum! It smelled heavenly - not baby lotion-y, but yummy and comfy and warm. It's slightly perfume-y and is very inviting. Later in the evening (hours later) Husband even commented on how good Little Bear smelled.

The consistency was super rich and thick, almost like a body butter. It dried fast and didn't leave him or my hands greasy at all. I also love that it's in a pump bottle, since I usually only have one free hand when I'm trying to wrangle the little guy and rub him down.

I was 100% shocked when I was getting him changed and dressed the next morning. His tummy and back were incredibly smooth! Seriously. His skin hasn't been this soft and "baby-like" ever. I still have 2 almost full bottles of other brands of baby lotion, but I will never use another brand again.  It's that good.

Because the results were so shockingly awesome, I double-checked the ingredient list to look for hidden yucks but couldn't find anything. This is good ol' fashioned natural greatness!

The Raw Shea, Chamomile & Argon Oil version is available at Walgreens and Target. Their two new varities are only available from Target (not online yet, though). For more information, visit Shea Moisture's facebook page.

I really wanted to share this greatness with y'all, and Shea Moisture offered to sponsor a giveaway so that I can. Yay! We are giving away 3 sets of baby lotion and body wash: Raw Shea, Chamomile & Argan Baby Head-to-Toe-Wash and Healing Lotion, Olive & Marula Baby Head-to-Toe-Wash and Lotion, AND Red Bush & Babassu Baby Head-to-Toe-Wash and Lotion! Click here to enter!  (Even if you don't have kids, this stuff is great for grown-ups, too!  I've actually swiped one of Little Bear's bottles for myself.)
