Circle of Friends Shampoos
Take a trip around the world during bath time. Circle of Friends bath products ($7-$9) are as educational as they are fun. Each product contains a multicultural character with a story about their country on the back. While the concept is great, I was uncertain if my 3 year old would understand it. Never underestimate the power of a young mind. I showed her the character and read the story thinking I was listening to myself talk, after a few baths she started asking me to read about Natasha (No Tearski Shampoo), Heidi (Chocolate Lotion), and Hoshi (Bubble Bath). I was shocked. Beyond learning, the products smell wonderful and are gentle on young skin. All the scented products got thumbs up by parents and kids in our house; however the Little Docs and Lice-Free Zone products were our favorites.
Little Docs product line was designed to help soothe eczema and sensitive skin. My son has very mild eczema and with the Calming Cream ($9.75) it vanished. We had been using Aquaphor, but the ointment can be messy. The Calming Cream blends into the skin.
If you ever had lice in your house, you know the pain staking process of removing them. The Lice-Free Zone is a lice prevention system. The shampoo and conditioner ($12 each or $22 set) use tea tree, andiroba, and lavender oils to naturally repel lice. Just start using it when you hear of the next school or camp outbreak, so you keep your house lice-free. Buy it now and thank yourself later.
