Crunchy Farm Baby~ Homemade All Natural Lavender Lotion Body Butter Bar (Review)

About

I'm currently a stay-at-home mom with my first son, Charlie, who was born in June 2011. Before deciding to stay home with my son, I was an elementary teacher and reading specialist at an urban school in my state's capital. My small family and I live on a little farm in Pennsylvania with our four dogs, two cats, and many outside companions. We live as sustainably as possible, growing much of our own food, eating a vegetarian diet, composting, recycling, and generally doing what we can to help Mother Earth. Having a baby has inspired me to create, design, and make ecofriendly, safe, and fun toys and more for my little man. I am glad to be able to share my art with others through the wonderful world of Etsy.*info from the Crunchy Farm Baby website

 

I have had the pleasure of trying out a wonderful product from Crunchy Farm Baby. The lovely owner, Leah, sent me one of her All Natural Lavender Lotion Body Butter Bars to review. I am a total freak for butters so I must say, I was super excited to see what hers was all about.

I received a cute little lotion bar, wrapped and tied with a pretty blue ribbon. It smells fantastic! It has a cocoa butter scent with a hint of lavender. I was excited to review this because I am pregnant and I use a lot of lotion during pregnancy. I was eager to try this out on my belly so that is exactly what I did first. It is very buttery and leaves my skin feeling moisturized and hydrated. I like to use this at night, before bed. It has that "sleep" scent so I feel like it offers a calming effect and helps me fall asleep.

I have also used this on my sleepy babies. I have given my two littlest, ages 1 and 3, baby back massages before bed and they love it! This is also great for the diaper area, to protect baby's bum from rashes. I have used it a few times on BuBu's bum for overnight. 

Leah also recommends using this on your hands right after doing dishes. THANK YOU for that idea...this has been a major use for me. I do dishes at least three times a day. My hands are always dry and I am sure the dish soap has a lot to do with that. The lotion bar has found a permanent place in my home - the kitchen. After each load of dishes, I just rub my finger tips on the lotion bar and then massage my hands, focusing on the tips of my fingers. A little goes a long way!

Although my favorite use is on my hands, I have used this a lot on my belly. It's a night time treat that every body deserves :) My 7 year old enjoys rubbing this on my belly, while my baby girl kicks and rolls around inside me. It's like they have a connection already :)
