BALM! Baby Taylor’s Skin & Soap Review
Who is BALM! Baby
BALM! Baby was created by parents for parents. They knew that plastic never goes away. It will never disintegrate. Never. They thought about how they are planning to buy that natural child product, but what happens when it gets heated? That’s right, those nasty chemicals in the plastic can leach into your product. That makes the natural product not so natural anymore. Since 2008, they have been eco-leaders, providing natural quality products in natural containers.

Mama’s Experience
With back to school season here we are all using more and more hand sanitizer. A friend of mine is using this Hand Sanitizer Canada brand and loves it, but I can’t get it that easily. At least this sanitizer kills 99.9% of germs plus it leaves my hands super smooth and silky soft. I hate using commercial sanitizer that leaves my hands sticky or dry. Being in a small bottle makes it easy to plop into your pocket for day trips to the store or zoo. It’s great for diaper bags, backpacks and in your purse.
With flu season right around the corner, I highly suggest getting a few bottles of Sanitize those Hands today.
This spray is cloth diaper safe. This spray is not just for butts! It can be used as a first-aid product too. Use on “cracked feet, sunburns, dry lips, diaper rash, razor burn, eczema, bug bites, newborn’s peeling skin, itchy cradle cap, postpartum owies, scrapes, cuts, bruises, minor rashes, hemorrhoids, dry hands, stinky armpits, burns and all that other funky stuff!” – BALM! Baby Website
A few days after receiving my spray, my daughter fell on the driveway. She got a nice elbow scrape. The ouchie that mommy kisses cant handle on their own. I got the spray bottle and my daughter got scared. I have used other sprays on cuts and she got very nervous. I told her this is a new ouchie spray and we need to put some on. I misted it onto her cut and she didnt even flinch! Even she was shocked. She instantly said, “it isn’t hurting me” and I knew it was a new staple product for our household.
Diaper Rashes:
I have been blessed so much and my son has not had a diaper rash….ever. We use cloth diapers and change frequently. Rashes can be due to a few things including (but not limited to): not changing frequently (urine against skin causes irritation), highly acidic foods in diet, and heat. By controlling his environment and diet and help prevent those nasty diaper rashes. But, they can just happen sometimes. This product contains NO alcohol. Unlike store brand wet wipes that can burn and irritate the rash further, you will want to lightly dab the irritated area with a soft, wet towel. Once cleaned, then apply Spray that Bottom directly to the diaper rash. They use a gentle, yet effective combination of all-natural, Vegan and GMO-Free ingredients to help get your baby’s bottom back to being the cute little bum you love.
Speaking of diaper rash, this is a very cool product you will definitely want to try out. Mad Rash can actually help prevent diaper rash. “Natural Mad Diaper Rash Balm protects against crazy diaper rash from Buildup in diapers / Food allergies / Teething / etc.! NO reaching for 2 different products while changing Mr. or Mrs. Squiggles! Yay! { Use a liner when treating mad diaper rash on cloth diapered babies}. Also doubles as an SPF30 Sunscreen!” – BALM! Baby Website
Living in the country I cannot flush those flushable wipes and disposable liners down my toilets. BUT, I can use them when using a product like Mad Rash! Using cloth diapers you CANNOT just put anything on your child bum. There are ingredients that can ruin a cloth diaper and render it unusable. The ingredient latches on and makes it lose the ability to be absorbent. In these situations, you need to use a barrier between the diaper and the ointment. I choose to use thin disposable cloth diaper liners. Many companies sell these. Other parents choose to cut up fleece strips and use those and toss them like you would a disposable wet wipe. Either way, you slice it, be sure to use a barrier with cloth diapers and this product.
BALM! Baby’s Diaper Balm 1st Aid can be used on “cracked feet, sunburns, dry lips, diaper rash, razor burn, eczema, bug bites, newborn’s peeling skin, itchy cradle cap, sores from drippy nose, post partum owies, scrapes, cuts, bruises, minor rashes, hemorrhoids, dry hands, stinky armpits, burns and all that other funky stuff!” – BALM! Baby Website
Doesn’t that list make you feel like you just read that above…like the Spray the Bottom! spray? Ding ding ding! Tell them what they won, Bob! 😉 That is because it is basically the same product. One is in a spray form and the other is in a solid. This way you can easily use the product in whichever way suites your needs. I love to apply it to my lips as a lip balm, but when applying to a boo-boo on a scraped elbow, the spray is much more simple. Be sure to grab both so that no matter the situation you have the easier to use the solution on hand.
“Our Natural Cloth Wipes Juice Concentrate is formulated with Taylor’s liquid soap to be sure all those parts get clean! We blend herbally infused oils & yummy essential oils to moisturize and smell good! Even in the most humid climates, where bacteria breeds, our wipes juice will not go bad! Perfect for changing baby’s precious bottom, or as reusable “wet ones” for wiping hands & faces!” – BALM! Baby Website
This super formula can be used a few different ways. You can pour the juice into a spray bottle and use it as a spray during diaper changes. You can use is in a tiny squirt bottle for on-the-go, like when you go out to eat and need to clean a messy noodle face. You can also add 1-2 tsp of Juice those Wipes! to 32 ounces of water, stir & add approx 18-24 wipes.
This is the perfect item to add on top of a baby shower gift!
I stopped using shaving cream a few years back. Using those horrible chemicals on my skin PLUS the can that is difficult to recycle made me guilty and feel icky. I honestly never thought about using a natural product like Taylor’s Shaving Cream. The coolest part about this product is that I dont need to apply lotion after I shave! Right after I get out of the shower I have to apply lotion to my newly shaved legs. They are so dry, even in the summer, after I shave them. Its like my legs were shaved of their moisture too! With Taylor’s Shaving Cream, I do not have to apply post-shaving lotion to my legs. They are super soft and smooth. The product contains raw shea butter, which really helps moisturize your skin. Make sure you use a VERY small amount, otherwise it will clog your razor pretty fast due to it being a natural product and a thicker agent.
The scent that this comes in is Grapefruit – making it great for both men and women to use. My husband is very picky with with shaving products and he practically stole this jar from me! This would be a great stocking stuffer for any guy in your life.
Essential Oils such as Tea tree oil by Rouh essentials are the new and hot thing right now. So many of my friends and family are already using them and swearing by them too. I have been very curious about them but was overwhelmed with the research that would be involved (ain’t nobody got time for that). Taylor’s website makes it easy to read what these oils can be used for and how to use them! Below I am going to share some information from their website. Please click here to visit their site and read more about Tea Tree Essential Oil.
Use on: Acne, athlete’s foot, candida, chicken pox, ringworm, oily skin, whooping cough
- Add 1-4 drops to a q-tip & apply to cold sores, gums, acne, sore ear, etc.
- Add 1-4 drops to washer. Great for heavily soiled laundry / moldy laundry / Cloth Diapers
- Dandruff and Lice -Studies have shown that shampoos with 5% of Tea Tree Oil can cure dandruff and help get rid of head lice.
**Pure Tea Tree Oil should never be taken internally in its undiluted form. Extra care should be taken when using it near the eyes, genitals, or even as a mouthwash. If taken internally, Tea Tree Oil can result in diarrhea, vomiting, impaired immune function, excessive drowsiness, sleepiness, confusion, poor coordination, and even coma. If you notice any of these symptoms of overdose, seek medical attention immediately.
I love to clean using Tea Tree Oil. I add it to water in a spray bottle and I use it as a sanitizer on my counters, floors, bathrooms. Think of using it like you use vinegar to clean. My husband is not a fan of vinegar in general – the smell is what bothers him. Using Tea Tree Oil I can safely clean on a tight budget without stinking him out of his own home.
Below I am going to share some information from their website. Please click here to visit their site and read more about Orange 5x Essential Oil.
Use on: Kills bacteria, viruses, fungus & pathogens in the air. Relieves anxiety, anger, depression.
- Add 1-6 drops to 2 cups of water & 1-2 TBS. of liquid soap for a nice citrus kitchen cleaner.
- Add 1-6 drops in a humidifier to brighten spirits & lighten moods (I am so doing this when winter set in and all my humidifiers are cranked).
Below I am going to share some information from their website. Please click here to visit their site and read more about Lavender Essential Oil.
Use on: Acne, allergies, anxiety, asthma, athlete’s foot, bruises, burns, chicken pox, colic, cuts
- Add 2-6 drops to a warm bath or pillow to calm little & big minds.
I have used this on my kid’s pillow and in my baths. It’s just such an easy way to unwind. Although, relying on something as simple as an essential oil as a treatment for your anxiety or depression might not be as effective as one may think. While there are alternative oils that adults can use like Nutra CBD olie which can work for easing anxiety and depression, I’m not sure if it is suitable for the little ones. However, keeping it natural may be more of a preference than taking something pharmaceutical. Luckily you can go down the route of marijuana to help relieve any of these mental illnesses, accessible from websites like https://www.togoweed.ca/product/blue-city-diesel/.
