All in Baby & Kids
GREAT buy, particularly for infant and toddler aged kids! Our kids LOVED Bubbsi’s Body Cream’s animal shaped bottles, which are made of a soft food-grade silicone, and it became an extra bath toy for us. We love the clean ingredients and very light coconut scent. While it is a bit pricier, it feels like we’re paying a bit extra for a bath toy and lotion in one, and it does get more affordable when you buy the refill pouch!

GREAT buy! Bubbsi’s Coconut Oil Balm is our go-to baby balm, particularly helpful in the winter (we’re in New England) when the heat is on and our baby’s skin would stay chapped no matter what kind of lotion we used. We found this to be the most effective in combination with a humidifier. We like the solid form factor and found that a very little bit goes a long way. We also love to use this for baby massages. Appreciate the clean ingredients and refillable tub. It’s a buy!
OK buy. Puracy Stain Remover worked very well in lifting old and ink stains on our white clothes. We liked that there was no scent or fragrance and the wait time was 15 minutes. The ingredients, while better than mainstream brands, still contain questionable ingredients, but we think it is a step in the right direction. Price-wise, Puracy beat our old reliable Oxi Clean spray on a cost per ounce. Puracy also offers bulk purchases and refills to make the price even more easy on the wallet.
GREAT buy if you like the convenience of a stick, but we want to try more. We’re a fan of Aveeno Kids Mineral Sunscreen Stick for Kids - for three key reasons: (1) the stick form factor is great when you’re on the go and you have a wriggling kid, our son actually LIKES it (2) sweat and water resistance means a little more time between re-applications (3) great for sensitive skin. Price point is very reasonable for stick form factor, but certainly more expensive than a liquid sunscreen. Biggest downside is that it does leave a white cast (photos below), so we like to keep some Pipette in the bag too.
It’s a BUY, but we want to test more brands. Honest Company Baby Wipes was the 2nd brand we’ve tried (we previously tried Pampers Pure Aqua), and it was so much better (thicker, stronger, easy to get out of the package, and with a great texture - extremely helpful in wiping messy 💩) that we have now been using Honest Company’s Baby Wipes for over a year and have been very hesitant to switch. But given its higher price point, we should probably try out some other brands.
