Initial Thoughts on: Grandma El's Products

Hi Fellow Moms and non-moms with very sensitive skin!

Today, I will be reviewing a brand I never heard off until this was sent to me as referred by a makeup client!  Upon receiving Grandma El's, I did my own research right away! Grandma El's was formulated in the early 1972 by Robert Posner, a renowned skin care specialist and cosmetic chemist and it has been used over a decade in nursing homes and hospitals!  

Yes, this product is organic and safe for babies, but how safe are they when it comes to my baby and my very own SUPER sensitive skin?

I've used Grandma El's products on both Baby AMW and myself and I will be sharing my initial thoughts on these....

Grandma El's Tear-Free Gentle Baby Wash
Php465.00

This wonderful Tear-Free Gentle Baby Wash is mild, gentle, natural and most importantly, safe for your baby’s skin. The neutral pH and addition of natural Aloe Vera, Japanese Green Tea, and Cucumber Extracts add a cooling, soothing, healing, anti-oxidant and skin nutrient activity which directly benefits baby’s sensitive skin. This gentle cleanser formulation is non-allergenic and non-irritating and will safely make your baby’s skin clean, fresh, and cuddly soft, naturally!

Give your baby the most natural, soothing bath time possible. Bathe your baby with Grandma El’s Gentle Bath Time products.

AMW says ---

I have used this so many times when I bathe Baby AMW!  What I love about this wash is that it is very gentle on my baby's skin at the same time, it lathers pretty quickly and can be washed easily by water.  After a month's usage, my baby's skin has this smooth, "bouncy" texture.  It helps that the product smells so good I can't stop giving kisses to Kyle!

 Grandma El's Diaper Rash Remedy + Prevention
2oz Php465.00

This product is Zinc Oxide free and very mild to the babies’ skin. Most diaper cream’s active ingredient is zinc oxide which some babies are allergic and instead of helping cure the rashes it worsens it at times.  Since it is a chemical it is not also advisable to babies to consume this kind of product. As we all know with babies, accidents do happen and sometimes they put in their mouths whatever they get their hands to. This product is safe for CLOTH DIAPERING also, since more and more moms are realizing the benefits of cloth diapers. As you will see on the packaging Grandma El’s ingredients are short and you can actually understand what they put in their products. As a general rule, if you can’t read nor understand what’s on the ingredients list, then why put it on our bodies?

 AMW says ---

One thing I am very thankful for Baby AMW is that he didn't get diaper rashes at all since birth!  I guess it is our constant wash and change of diapers that helps or maybe..I am just a lucky mom!  What I do is I actually use this on my "cracked heels" and dry patches from my skin and it does not only help relieve itch and pain but it actually helps reduce the look of dryness of my skin! 

 Grandma El's Gentle Baby Body Lotion
Php465.00

Grandma El’s Gentle Baby Lotion nourishes and moisturizes as it soothes and calms baby’s sensitive skin with the natural botanicals Chamomile and Calendula.  The light textured lotion will help protect and soften your baby’s delicate skin, keeping it smooth and healthy.  It is enriched with Vitamin E, Aloe Vera, Shea butter, and Avocado oil.  Grandma El’s does not contain any harsh ingredients and is pediatrician and dermatologist recommended.  Use Grandma El’s lotion on your baby every day.

 AMW says ---

Again, I do not put lotion on Baby AMW's skin as of the moment but I'm keeping this on hand especially when we traveled to the US where the weather is cooler and dry, I applied a little amount of this all over Kyle's body and so far, it is non-greasy and Kyle's skin did not react negatively on the product!  I actually came back and prefer to use this on myself as I try to use organic and safe-for-baby products on myself since I tend to be around Kyle most of the time!  The product is lightweight and gets absorbed into the skin easily leaving fresh scent (like a baby).

Overall, I actually enjoyed using Grandma El's products and I will highly recommend this to my friends who have very sensitive skin or friends who wants to use organic products for their babies!
