I have talked about the Soniclear from Michael Todd time and time again.  The Soniclear and Foreo Luna have become some of my holy grail products that I’ve been loving over the last couple of years and I use them faithfully each week as a part of my skin care regimen.  What can I say – I love a clean face that doesn’t cause my Eczema to flare up or my sensitive skin to go wonky.  While I own several different variations of the Michael Todd Soniclear, I was recently introduced to some attachments and brush heads for the Soniclear Elite that I’ve been eyeing myself for the last several months.  Today – let’s talk about the Soniclear Elite Deluxe.

The Soniclear Elite Deluxe from Michael Todd is similar to that of the Soniclear Elite which I currently own, but includes a variety of attachments for you to use with your unit.  The Deluxe features the Soniclear Unit in your selection of style – I have Hippie Chic.  You also get different attachments to help and assist with your cleaning.

With the Deluxe you will receive the Antimcirobial PEDI treatment head for smoothing foot care, the Extension Handle for those hard to reach places on your back and legs and a convenient Shower Organizer and Hard Shell Travel Case.  I also have several other attachments that I mix and match with my unit for ease of use.

I have written about Soniclear Elite here on this site many times, but let’s talk a little about it again shall we?  The Soniclear Elite is cordless and rechargeable.  It provides up to an hour of continuous use on a single charge.  It’s waterproof so you can use the unit in the shower or bath which is where I prefer to use it, especially since I use the body brush as part of my shower routine.

The Power Control Handle produces up to 300 sonic movements per second for 6x better cleansing than with hands alone and you get an Antimicrobial Daily Cleanse brush that is gentle, effective and the brush bristles are sized and uniquely rounded at the tip for gentle cleansing.  The Antimicrobial brush is perfect for stains and odor causing bacteria protection.  You also get the Antimicrobial body brush (which I love) for exfoliating the body to give you a smoother and softer feeling skin.

The unit comes with Multiple Speeds with C-Boost Technology.  6 sonic speeds provide customizable cleansing experience for your specific skin type and skin concerns.  C-Boost provides a pulsating massage designed to rev-up your skincare regimen.  A Cleansing Time is built in to keep automatic time and beeps to remind you to move to the next cleansing area.

With a comfort grip that is soft and will help to provide increased comfort to prevent slipping – you have a complete unit that is ready to go and use when you are.  I love that the Soniclear Elite gets the job done while helping to make my job easier since the unit is so easy to use.  As I mentioned before, I have more than one unit and keep one in the shower for my body scrubbing and one in the bathroom for facial cleansing.  I also love that the units offer great cleaning but now have so many other fine attachments.

One of my absolute favorite accessories is the Lush Cashmere Face Brush ($30.00).  This antimicrobial brush is a gentle cleansing brush that is perfect for every day use on my sensitive skin.  Since I cannot use my soniclear on my face daily with the standard face brush, I love that I have the option with a different brush head.  This brush head is soft and feels wonderful.  It looks like it’s rubber, but is soft bristles similar to those on a makeup brush – soft to the touch and my face loves it.  This brush is gentle enough for me to use daily (as I mentioned) but I love that the bristles are long enough to get in places easily like my nose and doesn’t irritate my skin at all while still offering a great clean.

The cashmere brush is a plush facial brush that has longer and extra soft cashmere-like bristles to provide gentle yet thorough facial cleansing.  It’s ideal for boosting hydration while gently cleansing pores, fine lines and wrinkles.  This brush micro massages away makeup, dirt, oil and perspiration to reveal a complexion that feels softer, cleaner and better hydrated.  This is especially suitable for all skin types, including mature and sensitive, easily irritated skin.  This brush head is compatible with all devices except the Soniclear Classic.

The Sonic Infuser Head for the face ($35.00) is also a great tool to have.  This infuser head allows you to harness the power of sonic movements to apply your serums and creams onto the skin for maximum efficiency.  Since most skin care products you apply with your fingers are usually absorbed by your fingertips and evaporate before working, the sonic infuser head helps you to apply these products differently.  The sonic delivery system disperses the product thoroughly and more evenly so that it can work for you.  With sonic movements at hundreds of times per second to help put that serum and cream in the epidermis instead of settling on the surface of the skin.

Did I mention I’m absolutely loving the extension handle ($25.00).  I use one of my Soniclear brushes in the shower and let’s just say getting to my back with my short arms requires me to call my husband for assistance.   Having the extension handle has been a lifesaver and keeps my device secure and in place so that it doesn’t fall.  With daily use it has held up without any issues which I love.

If you are interested in checking out the Soniclear Elite and the accessories for yourself – you can check them out here: http://www.michaeltoddbeauty.com/soniclear-elite-deluxe/

Cost: $199.00

I am a huge fan of this device.  I own 4 myself and have purchased three for family members over the years.  It’s a device I use and love and I absolutely enjoy the fact that these attachments that you can get make the unit so versatile for the whole body in any beauty routine.  Family members have loved when I have purchased these for them and they use them consistently as well.  I have written about Soniclear so many times on HGW that it’s becoming a name that is familiar here.  Like with anything you see on this site, if I don’t like it – you’ll know about it.  This is definitely something I like and I love sharing it with all of you.  The way I see it, your skin is something you have to live with your entire life, so you might as well invest in it the best you can.

Have you tried the Soniclear Elite from Michael Todd?  If so, what do you think about it?  If not, is this something you may have on your Holiday wishlist this year?

Exclusive Preview of Derma E’s New Packaging and My Thoughts on The Hydrating Day and Night Creams

When it comes to skin care, I try a lot of different products and I do have my favorites from different brands.  With sensitive skin, I always find that there are a lot of brands that cause my skin to flare up, so I’m very particular with what I use.  One of the brands I do enjoy is Derma E.  Today I’m going to share with you some exciting news and a little info as well as my thoughts on their Derma E Hydrating Day and Night Creams.

Derma E’s new packaging launched in September 2016 and I must say, I’m quite excited and loving the new design.  The products still offer the great quality we can expect from Derma E, with a sleek packaging quite different from what we are accustomed to.  With a new packaging design being rolled out through March 2017, you can expect to see this branding popping up in your favorite retailsers like Whole Foods, Sprouts, Ulta Beauty and many others.  There will be no compromising their great formulas – as you’ll still be getting their eco-ethical, non compromising formulas in a new packaging that is a stunner.  I honestly enjoy the fresh look of these, they look chic and branding is definitely on point.

To appeal 100% to their consumers, Derma E decided it was time to update their look and feel of the brand.  Their social sites, website, store displays and more will be changing (if they haven’t already) and you’ll notice the new branding through out.

About the Brand:

In the photo below, you can see how the old packaging (Derma E Hydrating Day Creme) compares to the new packaging (Derma E Hydrating Night Cream).  While the logos are similar, they still offer a very different feel than before.  I like how the new packaging really encompasses the lotus and offers branding that really is on par with the brand and their products.

I have used various products from Derma E in the past, but this is the first time I’ve had the opportunity to try the Hydrating Day and Night Creams.  I wanted to share my thoughts with you on these products and chit chat about how they have been working with my sensitive skin.

The Derma E Hydrating Day Creme with Hyaluronic Acid offers my very dry skin Intensive rehydrating treatment in one use.  For just $29.50 you get 2 oz / 56 g worth of product that is perfect for dry to normal skin.  I love how thick this cream is.  It smooths onto the face nicely and offers my face the much needed moisture to keep from flare ups and irritations.  It is perfect to be used under your makeup and works well with other skin care products in my regimen.  The hydrating day cream helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by replumping the skin with moisture.  With Hyaluronic Acid to deliver powerful hydration to help keep skin soft, smooth and youthful looking.  It also includes Vitamins A, C & E plus an antioxidant Green Tea to help protect the skin from environmental damage.

Ingredients: Purified Water (Aqua), Cetyl Alcohol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Ceteareth 20, Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid; Actimoist® Bio-1), Ascorbyl Palmitate (C-Ester), Panthenol (Provitamin B5), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract* (.1%), Organic Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract* (.1%), Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil* (.1%), Titanium Dioxide, Allantoin, Polysorbate 60, Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Plumeria Blossom Fragrance.

The Derma E Hydrating Night Cream is especially great for my dry skin.  Retailing for $29.50 (2 oz / 56 g) you get a lot of product to help keep up with your skin care regimen.  The Hydrating Night Cream has Hyaluronic Acid and other beneficial ingredients (just like the day cream) to help keep your skin supple and moisturized.  Like the Hydrating Day Creme, the Night Cream is extra-rich and thick.  It offers intense hydration to help replenish all of the anti-aging moisture to your skin while you sleep.  The Vegan based Hyaluronic Acid replumps the skin to help reduce the appearance of dryness, fine lines and wrinkles.  And, the antioxidant rich Green Tea and enriching Vitamins A, C and E help to soften and smooth the look of dehydrated skin.

Ingredients: Purified Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid; Actimoist® Bio-1), Ascorbyl Palmitate (C-Ester), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Panthenol (Provitamin B5), Allantoin, Organic Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract* (.1%), Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract* (.1%), Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Xanthan Gum, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer (Aristoflex®), Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Plumeria Blossom Fragrance.

I’ve been using these two products now for about 3 1/2 weeks and combine them with other Derma E products I love.  With colder weather on its way to Hawaii, my skin tends to get drier and I am always in need of good moisturizers and creams to help keep my skin / face looking youthful.  Since I haven’t used these products before, I was not only intrigued to give them a whirl, but also impressed with how well they do work.

I love moisturizing products that provide my skin with the much needed hydration they need, but that do not clog my pores or cause me to have any funky reactions.  That’s why I love Derma E products so much.  Used with other skin care that I love, I know that I’ll get the moisture I need, without sacrificing the quality I’ve come to expect.  Both creams smooth into my skin nicely and absorb quickly – but you must make sure that you do not use too much.  Since each of these creams are fairly thick, a light, thin layer is all you need.  If you naturally have oily skin, I think these creams may be a bit too thick for you, but for someone with dry skin like myself, they seem to work very well.  In my honest opinion though, I’m not too fond of the fragrance for both of these products, so I’m glad that once it soaks into my skin, I can’t smell it as much.  Living in Hawaii, Plumeria is something you smell often here, but since I now have sensitivities to fragrances, I find that it is a bit too strong for me.  Thankfully, it fades after a few minutes, but that also means I can’t use these products on days when my allergies are at its worst, because those few minutes – can seem like an eternity when I’m already sneezing like a mad woman.

I enjoy the texture of both products and my skin loves them – it’s perfect for my dry Eczema prone skin.  Derma E products are fairly affordable and I love that I can walk into my local Whole Foods and pick up a few products when I need them.  There hasn’t really been a product I haven’t enjoyed from Derma E and any of them that I struggle with, I have learned to adapt according to my skin care and needs.  I’m loving the new packaging as well – while I’m a fan of purple and loved how they really were bold and bright, I think the new packaging offers a serenity to the brand and I enjoy it.

As we near the colder months, now is the time that I start prepping for dry skin.  Since I have Eczema, I’m always on the hunt for products that are good to my skin and that can protect it from the elements.  But, finding something that works for me, doesn’t mean it will be something I can use on my kiddos.  I absolutely love when I find a skin care line that is perfect for me and that I can use on my kiddos and Babytime! by Episencial is really proving to be the product line I’m enjoying.

I was recently introduced to Babytime! by Episencial.  A brand that I have never heard of before, I was immediately taken by the ingredients and the fact that this line was meant for babies, which to me, means it’s great for my sensitive skin.  Babytime! by Episencial is dedicated to creating safe, effective, natural skin care products that enhance the health of babies since young children naturally have sensitive skin.  Babytime! is the only skin care brand to make baby-safe, all natural skincare products with Probiotics to support skin immunity and help treat common skin conditions – like Eczema, cradle cap and common dehydration.  Babytime! products are formulated to provide a protective barrier to insulate vulnerable skin, offset environmental contaminants and help to keep our children safe.  Immediately, I was intrigued and excited to try the line, knowing that if it was made for babies, it would work well with my sensitive and finicky skin type.

The Babytime! Soothing Cream has become one of my favorites to help with my dry, sensitive skin.  Since I have been experiencing my normal allergies this time of year, my skin tends to be quite sensitive and I look for products that can moisturize but not cause a reaction or flare up.  The Soothing Cream has been a favorite the last month leaving my skin soft, moisturized and supple.  It’s especially perfect for my Eczema prone skin, offering a cooling comfort to dry, red, itchy and irritated skin.  It’s an all natural, scent-free formula that has calming calendula and raspberry butter to help restore moisture balance.  But, you also get nourishing probiotics and neem oil to help fortify and soothe developing skin.  This soothing cream is has probiotics in the formula to help ensure that baby skin is balanced and healthy with good bacteria.  It can be used to soothe eczema, dermatitis, cradle cap, baby acne or diaper rash.  I use the smoothing cream on my elbows and on my chin where I get dermatitis and eczema the worst and it has made such a huge difference.

  • Uses: Organic creamy lotion for itchy bothered skin
  • Benefits: Comforting, pH balancing + soothing
  • Safety: Doctor developed, EWG top rated for safety

Babytime! Cheeky Salve for Lips and Cheeks is another product I have been absolutely loving as well.  It has actively healthy ingredients that provide a gentle but mighty barrier to the elements.  Cheeky Salve is a transparent balmy butter that is my perfect savior for chapped lips and is designed and formulated to help with chapped lips, dry cheeks, cracked nipples, acne bumps, cradle cap and is absolutely all natural.  It’s an edible, unscented balm that is allergy tested and designed to enhance and enable better looking skin.  The Cheeky Salve is greater than 95% Organic and is easy to use.

I simply apply a thick layer (thin if I only need a little help) frequently through out the day.  You can use this product alone or as part of a 3 Step System from Babytime! for best results.  This salve is lightweight and smooths onto the skin and lips easily.  It’s non-greasy and feels comfortably on.  I also like that it is not sticky and leaves my lips feeling smooth and moisturized for hours.  I have been applying it to the tip of my nose, where I tend to get wind blown and dry and my cheeks and it has been such a life saver.  I apply this salve on my lips, cheeks and nose prior to leaving the house and they protect my skin from the elements.

Retail for $9.50 / Net. Wt. 0.50 fl.oz. (15mL)

The products I have tried from Babytime! have been great.  I love that they are made with all-natural, mostly organic ingredients and contain no unhealthy toxins or chemicals.  Babytime! products combat this by blending advanced skin care technology with actively healthy ingredients like probiotics, neem oil, juice extracts and botanically-sourced essential fatty acids and antioxidants.  These natural ingredients enhance skin immunity and defend against daily environmental challenges from water, sun and air.   Babytime! products are also animal-friendly, most of them contain no animal products and nothing is tested on animals.  Babytime!’s green values extend beyond its ingredients.  Products are all manufactured in the US in facilities that use solar power and products are packaged in recycled and sustainable material.  Every facet of Babytime!’s mission revolves around helping parents make actively healthy choices for their families and the planet.

Every one of Babytime!’s high-quality skin care products is made with all-natural, mostly organic ingredients and contain no unhealthy toxins or chemicals. All babies experience dermatitis – inflammation of the skin – at some point during their first years of life. Babytime! products combat this by blending advanced skin care technology with actively healthy ingredients including probiotics, neem oil, juice extracts, and botanically-sourced essential fatty acids and antioxidants. All of these natural ingredients enhance skin immunity and defend against daily environmental challenges from water, sun and air. Additionally, Babytime! products are animal-friendly – most contain no animal products, and nothing is tested on animals. Babytime!’s “green values” extend beyond its ingredients. Products are manufactured in U.S. facilities using solar power, and products are packaged in recycled and sustainable material. Every facet of Babytime!’s mission revolves around helping parents make actively healthy choices for their families and planet.

What I love about these products is that they work so well for both myself and my children and really anyone of all ages.  It’s a product that we can afford and get our money’s worth since everyone in the household can use the products.  I look forward to trying more from Babytime and if you have skin sensitivities like I do, I definitely suggest checking the line out for yourself.

It seems like every couple of weeks I’m releasing my thoughts on a new skin care line I’ve tried.  I’ve said it time and time again, but when it comes to skin care, I enjoy testing them, so you may see a lot of it on my site.  Today however, I’m sharing with you a product that I’ve been using now for about a month and I think you’ll definitely enjoy learning about it for yourself.  Eve Skin Rejuvenation Bar is a skin care genius that helps to transform your skin in two minutes time.  Let’s chit chat about it, shall we?

So what is the Eve Skin Rejuvenation Bar?  Well, with water – the Eve Skin Rejuvenation Bar transforms into a lotion in your hands, replacing your current cleanser with an advanced daily Rejuvenating and Cleansing Treatment from Nature.  It’s a product that can only be matched by professional treatments obtained in Spas & Salons and delivers the key component missing in traditional cleansers that is vital for any skin treatment to be effective.  Deep purging, unblocking and preparation of the skin to receive nourishment and skin transforming active ingredients can all be done with the help of this skin care bar.

This bar is unique in that it has a non-alkaline soap-free formula which protects you from the harmful aging effects of traditional soaps and cleansers.  This bar also helps to provide the ultimate defense against aging – unparalleled support in the repair and rebuilding of healthy ageless skin.  You need only two minutes of using this product to get your skin back to normal and to overcome dry, oily and problem skin.  In that two minutes, the natural active ingredients interact with the skin to soothe, balance and nourish the skin while gradually returning it back to a healthy Normal condition.  This product is ideal for all skin types, even sensitive and delicate skins which is what I have.

Now, if you’ve been a reader of my site for a while, then you know I suffer from dry, sensitive skin which is also Eczema prone.  I also have Atopic Dermatitis, which can flare up at any time (especially when my skin is severely dry) and can be irritated through my asthma (which I’ve had since I was a baby) and/or stress in my daily life.  When it comes to trying out new products, I can be quite leery because many different ingredients and products can cause me a Eczema or skin issues to flare up or become much more severe.  A product that claims to help put my skin back to it’s proper state is exciting but I’m always a bit scared.

After using the Eve Rejuvenation Bar just over a month, I was amazed at how much my skin had changed immediately.  After just the first use, I noticed my skin felt hydrated without feeling oily – which is always a huge plus.  This bar is gentle enough for me to use it daily and has taken away the dry patches around my nose and chin, leaving my skin feeling soft and nice.  I tend to have a break out here or there when trying a new product, and I didn’t notice any of them since using this product.  Genius – right?

Eve Rejuvenation Bar includes some of my favorite skin loving ingredients: like Argan Oil, Manuka Honey, Jarrah Honey, Vitamin C & Vitamin E, Jojoba Oil, Macadamia Oil and Sweet Almond Oil to help infuse moisture, brighten your skin and enrich your skin with all that love it needs.  These powerful natural ingredients provide the body with tools it needs to achieve ultimate recovery and health, so Eve makes no compromises and every ingredient they choose is the most powerful form in nature.

Ingredients (INKI): Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate, Zea Mays (Corn), Starch, Dextrin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Peat Water (Moor), Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Castor Oil, Sodium Isostearoyl Lactylate, Wheat Peptide, Argania Spinosa Kernel (Argan) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond)

Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Peat (Moor), Honey (Manuka), Honey (Jarrah), Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C), Bees Wax, Lactic Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Titanium Dioxide

How to use the bar:  

I find it best for me to use the bar at night, since I’m not in a rush and have the time to devote to my cleansing routine.  Consider it your “spa” time, so make sure you are not in a rush as well.  I rinse my skin with warm water, trying to make sure the temperature is warm and not too hot or cold.  Make sure to remove any makeup you have had on prior to using the bar.  Once my skin is wet thoroughly, I then rinse the Eve Treatment bar with water and roll the bar between my hands to create a generous and bubbly lather.  Once that is accomplished, I set the bar on the side (in the drying try or travel box so it can dry) and then transform the bubbly lather into a thick creamy lotion by rubbing my hands together vigorously for about 5-10 seconds.  Make sure you do not skip that step!  Once I have the treatment lotion, I gently apply the lotion over my wet skin to achieve a generous and even coverage.  Make sure you are not scrubbing or continue rubbing once you have achieved an even coverage of the product on your skin.

My little tip is to take the remaining lotion and apply it to your neck, chest, arms and the back of your hands instead of rinsing it away.  Utilize the product on those parts as to not waste.  

Using your Eve two minute hourglass timer, leave the treatment lotion undisturbed for at least a full two minutes.  While you wait, the unique organic compounds interact with your skin in an organized sequence during this time.  After the minimum two minutes have lapsed, simple rinse away any of the treatment lotion with water and pat your face/skin dry with a soft towel.  You’ll immediately notice your skin feels much smoother and nourished, looks radiant and brighter but it also feels so clean like it’s breathing.

Overall – I’m absolutely enjoying these Eve Bar and I would definitely recommend it.  I have noticed my skin has changed for the better over the last month and while the cost of the bar may be quite pricey, investing in your skin is surely important and worth the investment.  The bar lasts quite a long time which is a huge plus considering the price tag and you can get a lot of uses out of one bar.  I have been using mine daily and still have my original bar left.

“Great skin in 2 minutes? Yes, sign me up. Eve Moisturizing bar has been a great addition to my skin care regimen and has made a huge difference in my Eczema. I look forward to using it in the winter when my skin needs the extra hydration and benefits.”

Target is one of my favorite stores to shop at and I’m excited to share a few fun brands for you to check out as a part of the “Made to Matter Handpicked by Target” collection.  These brands and products offer an assortment of great products and today I’m going to share them with all of you.

Pacifica is a brand that I know and love and I’m very thankful to be a Pacifica Beauty Ambassador.  The Made to Matter product from Pacifica is the DreamBIG Lash Extending 7 in 1 Mascara ($15.99) which I wrote a review on previously (you can find that here).  This mascara provides instant amplification with natural plant fibers that build and build plus fortify your lashes with an innovative peptide serum.  It also includes a magic wand that changes up your mascara game with a twist.  Fake it till you make it with this awesome mascara.

Shea Moisture Made to Matter Products – Peace Rose Oil Complex Nourish & Silken Shampoo and Conditioner ($10.99 each).  I’m a huge fan of the Shea Moisture products but have not tried this particular line from the brand until now.  These nourishing recipes are made with natural and certified organic ingredients and are designed to hydrate and soften dry, brittle hair.  Key Ingredients include:  Peace Rose Oil Complex (Alpine, Damask and Must Rose Oils) to help soften and silken dry hair.  Date Pam Extract to provide protective moisture barrier with sensitivity pathway blockers and Camellia Leaf Extract contains antioxidant properties, soothing minor skin and scalp irritation.  I have been LOVING these hair products and plan to have a full review up on the blog in the coming weeks.

Tom’s of Maine just launched their first natural antiperspirant for Men – Naturally Dry North Woods.  Selected for the “2016 Made to Matter-Handpicked by Target” Program. 48 Hour odor and wetness protection with no petrochemicals or artificial fragrances.  It’s also non-irritating and with every purchase Tom’s of Main donates 10% of profits back to helping people and the planet. Tom’s Main Naturally Dry Deodorant ($4.49) is reasonably priced and smells nice.  But I especially like that it will not cause irritation to my husband who has sensitive skin like me.

Tom’s of Maine Luminous White Anticavity Fluoride Toothpaste ($4.99) is their newest, most advanced natural whitening toothpaste designed exclusively for Target.  Luminous White offers effective whitening with only naturally derived ingredients that work to remove surface stains.  Most importantly, it’s safe on enamel and selected for the 2016 “Made to Matter – Handpicked by Target program because it contains no artificial flavors, colors, preservatives or artificial sweeteners like saccharin.  It’s also gluten free with no animal testing and clinically proven, dual silica whitening technology.

The Honest Company has been one my family has really grown to love.  The Organic Healing Balm ($12.95) is a favorite mainly because it is very similar to those that I currently use from other brands.  It’s an all purpose salve for dry, chafed or sensitive skin and a favorite in our household because I can easily carry it in my purse and take on the go for when I need it most.  It’s all natural, soothing and hypoallergenic which make it all great for my sensitive skin and my family.  Award winning, this balm is a must have, super versatile salve to help soothe my very dry and sensitive skin and so much more.  With organic sunflower, olive and coconut oils along with shea butter to nourish and moisturize, my dry skin gets the relief it needs.  It’s also made without petroleum, mineral oil, parabens, phthalates and synthetic fragrances, dyes and most ingredients that cause common allergies.

The Honest Company Hand Sanitizer Spray ($2.98) is also a favorite in our house.  It smells so refreshing and bright with an orange citrus scent and moisturizes with aloe vera.  Kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria, this antiseptic + moisturizer offers antimicrobial protection made with plant-based ingredients.  Soothing botanicals help to reduce drying, redness and chapping and there are no harsh chemicals.  I love that it is in a convenient (easy to travel and use on the go) packaging and it’s a favorite to always have on hand.

Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Vinegar Gel Cleaner ($3.99) is something new to our family and I have not used it prior to this.  Heritage-inspired specialty cleaners that are bleach-free but still work hard on grease, grime and soap-residue.  Mrs. Meye’s Vinegar Gel Cleaner in Lemon Verbena smells nice and is naturally thickened vinegar with the Lemon Verbena fragrance to help clean stainless steel to a bright, brilliant shine without needed to rinse.  Use to clean countertops, the refrigerator, handles, knobs and all those little do-it-yourself vinegar jobs but with more of a pleasant scent.  I love it… I am someone who keeps a bottle of vinegar on hand just for cleaning the house and this product is awesome.

Happy Family Organics Brand Happy Tot Super Smart Organic Pears, Peas & Mangos ($1.60)  I have been seeing kiddos around our neighborhood and at football practice sipping on these pouches over the last couple of weeks and I was excited to be able to try one.  Since a toddler’s brain doubles in size from birth to age 2, it’s essential to give them the proper support for a tot’s growth.  These Super Smart pouches contain 20mg of DHA and 100mg of choline, both important nutrients to help support brain health in a growing toddler.  But, while these are formulated mainly for toddlers, the boys tried them and really enjoy it.  I know they have a variety of flavors for older kids too so we’ll be checking those out in the next week or so and stocking up.

Babyganics Moisturizing Lotion ($7.29 for 11oz bottle) is the only baby lotion designed specifically for baby’s developing skin, featuring NeoNourish Natural Seed Oil Blend and the 100% natural scent of chamomile verbena (also available fragrance free).  It’s free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, mineral oil, petrolatum, dyes or synthetic fragrances and the boys enjoy it as well as I do.  Non-allergenic, pediatrician & dermatologist tested and never tested on animals, this is a really nice brand that includes Shea butter, Aloe, Vitamin E, Olive and Avocado Oil and the Babyganics 100% natural NeoNourish Seed Oil Blend.

Bitsy’s Brainfood Smart Crackers ($3.99) has been a fun new treat for us.  Clean Label, USDA Organic, Non-GMO, nothing artificial and low in sugar, high in nutrition with 1/2 serving of vegetables.  Smart Crackers are baked in a zero waste die and no scrap dough and the boys love that there are puzzle games on the 1005 recycled paperboard.  The crackers are made with real organic veggies and come in three yummy flavors:  Cheddar Chia Veggie, Mapple Carrot Crisp and Sweet Potato Cinna-Graham.  They are made with love in the USA in a peanut and tree nut-free bakery.  My sons really enjoy them and I think they taste really good… YUM.

Nature’s Path Organic EnviroKidz Granola Bars ($4.99 / 6 bars) are made with gluten-free rolled oats, chocolate chips and chocolate drizzle.  The first and only granola bar made totally organic, gluten free and peanut free so they’re the perfect allergy-friendly lunchbox snack.  The boys love these and love the way they taste, plus – the cute monkey on the packaging is a total fun way to snack.

Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent Packs ($12.99) include Seventh Generations trusted Free & Clear laundry formula that is now available in EPA safer Choice certified all-temperature laundry packs.  These bio-based laundry packs use quadruple-enzyme power to remove stains and leave your clothes looking good as new.  The product includes 45 toss-and-wash single-dose pods to make laundry day simple and mess-free.  Their EPA Safer Choice certification means that every ingredient in their laundry packs have been reviewed by the EPA to ensure it meets their stringent human health & environmental criteria.  What I enjoy the most about these laundry packs is that they are perfect for sensitive skin and my family is full with sensitive skin bodies.  I think this will become a favorite our ours in the future and you may see a full review on this in the months to come.

As I mentioned before, “Made to Matter – Handpicked by Target” is a collection of products of leading natural, organic and sustainable brands.  At the heart of Made to Matter is an assortment of great products made with simple, recognizable ingredients that are designed to be higher quality for everyone and accessible to anyone.  It is always a great thing to walk into my local Target store to see the “Made to Matter” logo and emblem on product displays because I know what they are about and am proud to support these brands.  This year I was introduced to brands I have never tried before and some that I have loved over the years and my family and I have been enjoying them all.

It’s always great when a company offers such great quality but higher standards and I’m excited for my readers and friends to try some of these brands for themselves.

Make sure to shop all of these amazing #MadeToMatter favorites on Target/MadeToMatter website:  http://www.target.com/c/made-to-matter or at your local Target Store.

Thank you Target and Pacifica Beauty for sending my family and I this awesome gift of goodies, we surely love them and look forward to trying more.
