Canadian Mama

Just wanted to introduce myself! I am Jen, the new Canadian contributor to the Daily Stroll. I live in Vancouver, British Columbia and have access to great Canadian lines and boutiques.
My story goes something like this...
I am a young 30 something mom and wife (yikes, I don't think I have ever put that in writing!) with 2 kiddies...A 4 year old son, Ashlen and an 11 month old girl, Rosabella (Belle).
After my son was born, I was suddenly concerned about ingredients in baby products and was horrified with what I found. I combined my Make-Up Artistry background with a new found passion for Aromatherapy and developed my own line of 100% natural baby care, called MUNCHSKINS SKIN CARE! The line can be found across Canada, the U.K. and we're now streaming into the U.S.! Watch for us.
I am thrilled to contribute my fab Canadian finds with The Daily Stroll. Of course, my first fab find contribution is my own MUNCHSKINS. In fact, I am so excited that I am offering 10% off Munchskins.com purchases to Daily Stroll readers! Mention Daily Stroll in the comments section at checkout and you will be refunded 10%! Offer valid until May 31/05. We ship anywhere.
Looking forward to sharing my other Canadian greats with you all!

Hi! My baby has extremely sensitive skin. She gets a rash and then really, really dry from almost everything. The doctor said it might be excema so we were using Elidel (miracle drug)and then the black box warning came out a month later so we quit. I've learned to prevent rashes by using only Eucerin creme, Eucerin Body wash and Aquaphor. Burts Bees products don't seem to bother her either and I love them because they are the only products that smell great and she's able to tolerate. How do your products compare with Burt's Bees? I'm wondering if its the fragrances that break her out or other ingredients in the other products I've tried (Khiels, Aveeno Lavender.) What do you think? I'd love to try some of your stuff.

Well, I'm no doc, but apparently eczema can be avoided by eliminating harsh soaps, fragrances, bubble baths, etc. I hate to mention names when making comparisons between Munchskins and other lines, but I can say that Munchskins does not contain any fragrances, chemicals, or anything unnatural. Munchskins IS 100% natural, some of the other lines are 97% natural-and they claim it right on the label. Which is great, because there are no surprises. Usually that other 3% is a 'fragrance' oil...smells great, not natural.
My advice would be to do research on some of those ingredients listed on the labels. Just Google one and you'll learn all kinds of stuff. Also, avoid fragrances, which are known to irritate sensitive little skin. Let baby's natural scent shine through!
