Detox and Declutter the Bathroom

Heather Kuldell — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 21:23:00 GMT

After recent news of cancer-causing chemicals in shampoos, more than one parent I know weeded through the bathroom cabinets. The chance to clean out is also a way to get rid of extra bottles. Dr. Bronner’s Magic Organic Shikakai Baby Body Soap is a conditioning cleanser that is suitable for both body and hair. The cleanser combines shikakai seed-pod extracts, organic sugar and grape juice with a base of Dr. Bronner’s famous castile soap, a longtime staple of hippies’ households for its fair trade and no-animal-testing policies.

Though its available in a few different sizes, save yourself a shopping trip with a purchase of the 24-ounce pump for $14.99.

Petite Miette: Elegant and Organic

Petite Miette is French for “Little Crumb”. Everything about this company is beautiful: their products, their packaging, their logo and their philosophy of designing simple, elegant, organic clothing and accessories for babies and toddlers.

All of their products are 100% certified organic and died with low impact dyes. Low impact dyes create intense, sophisticated, saturated colors. Choose from kiwi, pomegranate, blueberry, Clementine and natural.

The collection includes seven luxurious products: playtime wrap (above photo and below photo), bath time wrap, hooded towel and mitt, bib, bottle cozy, playtime blanket and receiving blanket. My favorite is the playtime wrap, a kimono with a soft cotton fleece lining. Their hooded towel and bath mitt would make a dream baby shower gift. And their bibs have a top layer that can be snapped off and replaced with a clean topper. Great for a teething baby!

The above playtime wrap is in pomegranate and the below playtime wrap is in kiwi. Sizes are up to 24 months. Shop Petite Miette.

Certified both organic and kosher, this Baby Bottom Balm from Illumina Organics combines natural herbs and oils, as well as zinc oxide and vitamin E, to help combat rashes and other baby-bottom blights, but it's also notable for its packaging. Illumina's toxin-free new line of baby-care products (which, we should add, is part of a whole family of natural skincare products from the company) comes in bottles free of phthalates and bisphenol-A (BPA).
