Review – Baby Butz 100% Natural Cream

January 22, 2015 by Shellie Wilson 13 Comments

We were invited to review this Baby Butz cream but unless I can convince my aching body, leaking bladder and overworked husband that having another child is a good idea then there are no butz in this house younger than 5. However we do have a few different skin issues especially with my youngest who appears to be more like mummy when it comes to allergies than the poor little boy should be.

They day this cream arrived by daughter decided she had to use it straight away. Now in the past few weeks my daughters hands have become dry, but not dry from lack of moisture. You she Santa brought her a jar of body whip and she has been putting it on daily , in fact she has been putting it on so much (cheap moisturizer it smells like strawberries and chemicals) that I have started to become concerned with just how often she “needs” to have it on. (Keeping my eye on this).

To cut a long story short- she likes putting on creams and has even been putting cream behind my ears daily (apparently I can’t reach) since I broke out in a rash from a new pair of sunglasses I got for Christmas (damn Santa was harsh to us). Armed with her new cream she went around the house looking for patients to cure. First she popped it onto her brother who had a mosquito bite on his wrist that had flared up to the size of a large grape. Within 30 mins it had gone after applying the cream. Next patient was her father who’s ethnic skin was fondly known to resemble Crocodile scales. The cream is very thick so he may have been over treated as he came out of his office with legs and elbows as white as , well as white as mine.

So what makes it so special? Well I wish I could provide you with a long list of ingredients that make it wonderful but it actually only has 4, yes just 4 natural ingredients. Zinc, lanolin, petrolatum and starch.

So basically we really loved the cream and it will be staying in our medical kit should any chaffing or bites or cracked skin comes our way.

RRP $7.99

We loved it so much that we are going to share the love and give away 1 jar to 1 lucky reader. For your chance to win simply tell us why your butz need this and which country you are from in a comment below.

Competition closes on the 1st of February.

Open Worldwide.

EVERYTHING makes my daughter break out, even though her poor skin is so dry. I would love to try this cream and see if it works. Sounds like it just might.

For years, I have been battling with dry skin on my hands. It gets so dry, that the skin around my nails begins to split, and it gets very painful. No matter what I use, it never helps, and the vicious cycle continues. Sometimes it does the same thing on my feet as well. Hopefully this can help me. I’m at my wits’ end!! I live in the US.

We heat with wood which tends to dry my skin. I am also older and have the issue of cracked heels. I like the idea that this is a cream and not a lotion and only contains 4 ingredients. Way to go. I am in the USA

Herbal Bath Soak for Muscle Relief Review

There is something wonderfully old-fashioned about a herbal bath soak. Before bath bombs and glittery shower steamers took over the bathroom shelf, a simple bundle of dried herbs in warm water was one of the easiest ways to turn a bath into a little moment of comfort.

This Herbal Bath Soak for Muscle Relief from CraftBits is exactly that kind of recipe. It is simple, natural-looking, and made with easy-to-recognize dried herbs rather than complicated cosmetic ingredients. The mix includes chamomile leaves, crushed bay leaves, rose petals, sage, rosemary, and oregano, creating a strong herbal bath blend designed for tired, aching muscles.

What I like about this project is that it feels very practical. It is not trying to be overly fancy, and it does not require special equipment. You simply combine the herbs and either swish them directly into the bath water or place them into a square of muslin fabric tied with cord, then drop the bundle into the tub like a large herbal bath tea bag. The muslin option is the one I would personally choose, because it gives you the herbal soak without leaving lots of loose herbs floating around the bath.

The recipe is especially nice for people who enjoy warm, earthy, garden-style scents. Rosemary, sage, oregano, and bay all have that kitchen-garden herbal feel, while chamomile and rose petals soften the blend a little. It is not a sweet, perfume-style bath soak. It is more of a rustic, apothecary-inspired soak, which makes it appealing for people who prefer natural bath and body projects.

The CraftBits instructions suggest soaking for around 15 minutes, which makes this an easy add-on to an evening routine rather than a long spa session. The recipe also notes that the mix makes enough for two to three strong baths, or smaller amounts if you are sensitive to stronger herbal scents.

This would also make a thoughtful handmade gift. Pack the dried herbs into a decorative jar, muslin bags, or a small basket with a wooden scoop and a label that says “Herbal Bath Soak for Muscle Relief.” It would be lovely as part of a self-care hamper, a gardener’s gift basket, a post-workout pamper gift, or a handmade present for someone who likes natural bath recipes.

For gifting, I would definitely include usage instructions on the label. Something like: “Add to a muslin bag and steep in warm bath water. Soak for 15 minutes. External use only.” This makes the gift feel more polished and helps the recipient understand exactly how to use it.
