One of the products I tried was the Taylor's PITS! Natural SPRAY Deodorant. I received the Grapefruit Vanilla scent!! Sounds really neat, huh? It smells awesome but its such a light scent. This doesn't work for me as a deodorant, but I do love to use it as a light fragrance without all the icky chemicals you find in most sprays these days. I love that this is organic and natural, completely vegan. It says it provides protection for up to 18 hours, but I notice odor after about 4 ish hours... I know everyone is made differently, so it might be a good fit for you even if it wasn't for me! The ingredients in Taylor's Pits are Hawaiian sugar cane ethonal, deodorizing essential oil blend that's safe for pregnant woman and nursing moms, and grapefruit seed extract.
Another product BALM! Baby sent to me was the Taylor's Natural Beard Oil for moisturizing grooming. So, they randomly sent me this and had I known I probably would have asked them not to because my husband isn't into oils or different products from the ones he is used to. He refused to try it. After communicating with BALM! Baby, they kindly gave me tips on other ways that it can be used. I've used it for my dry knuckles and it helps if I put it on before I go to bed. The oil is intended to maintain and moisturize beards and mustaches and helps repair damaged hair. There have been times that I put a couple drops in my hands, rubbed them together and rub over the top of my head to tame the little fly aways. The scent is manly and has an earthy smell to me, but it's not bad. This product is also Vegan and cruelty free. The ingredients are: Hawaiian macadamia nut oil, avocado oil, herbal blend, vit e, earl gray tea, pure therapeutic and aromatic essential blend and high vibes healing. I like using it on my hands the most.
I also got to try the Taylor's Hippie PITS! Natural Deodorant. Honestly, I didn't like the smell of it. The scent is Patchouli, lavender, rosemary, and tea tree oil. It sounds like it'd be a pleasant combination but I found it not to be. I do use it as a back up and it seems to work better and longer than the spray. You can use a little Popsicle stick to apply it or your fingertips. It's also said to have 18 hour protection. I like that it's another natural deodorant that's safe for pregnant and nursing moms. It's Organic, Natural, and Vegan as well. They've even suggested using it on stinky feet, but I haven't needed to! I would love to try another scent like: Vanilla Grapefruit or Lemon Cedar.
BALM! Baby learned the importance of putting their natural products in recycled glass containers or recycled aluminum containers. When plastic heats up it leaches the icky chemicals into the products making it not natural and you are back at square one. So overall, they want to provide us with better healthier natural products that are stored healthy, too! They offer Natural Baby & Mama Care in Natural Containers. How awesome is that?

One of my favorite products sent to me was the BALM! Baby Travel Sanitize Those Hands. It smells so good! The container is a great size to travel with and I feel safe using it on my daughter. At first, the sprayer didn't work but BALM! Baby sent a replacement nozzle and it's worked fine ever sense. This sanitizer is also organic, natural, and cruelty free. I love supporting companies with products like this. The ingredients consist of: 62% ethanol, macadamia nut oil, lavender and orange oil. I definitely recommend this spray as I have come to love it.
BALM! Baby also sent me three different essential oils by RAW. 1. Eucalyptus 2. White Grapefruit 3. Tea Tree
The Eucalyptus is sourced in Australia, it's Grade A Therapeutic and has a strong woody smell. It helps to revitalize, clear you, can be used with a carrier oil to make a deodorant, or as an antiseptic or antiflammatory. It's antibacterial and there are so many other things it can be used for. I like to use it when someone in the house has a cold, fever, or is coughing. You can put a couple drops in a tissue and sniff to clear your nasal or you can put a few drops in your humidifier to help clear the air. It's very invigorating. Be sure to use a carrier oil like coconut oil, though, if you rub it on you anywhere. You can find more uses for it HERE.
The White Grapefruit is sourced in South Africa, it's Grade A Therapeutic and has a fresh citrus like smell. It's very pleasant. It can be uplifting, cleansing, and energizing. It's recommended to use on: cellulite, increase memory and focus, and to tighten facial pores. You can find more uses for it HERE. I like to just use it in my diffuser.
The Tea Tree is sourced in China. It's Grade A Therapeutic and has an Earthy scent. It's commonly used as an antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral, and stimulant. I have used it mixed with coconut oil when I have a pimple or two pop up. Its great for acne, stripping laundry, oily skin, athletes foot, and much more. See more uses for it HERE.
Another product I had the pleasure of trying was the Island Botanicals Hawaiian Facial Wash. It's a cleanse that helps rejuvenate and purify. I love this face wash but was surprised when I took my first big whiff of it. I'm thinking it's going to smell tropical like pineapple or something sweet. To my surprise, it smelled like a medication and not very pleasant. I'm thinking mostly because I expected it to smell like something else. The more I use it, I get used to it and it isn't too bad. It seems very watery when you pump it into your hands, but you only need 2-3 pumps for your face and neck area. The product details are: blended with Big Island Grown Hawaiian Macadamia Nut Oil, virgin coconut oil, infused in their proprietary purifying herbal blend & completed with their cleansing & clearing pure essential oil blend. Safe for all skin types; It's specially formulated with an infusion of herbs & natural plant oils.
