California Baby offers a line of natural kids products that are non-toxic and free from nut oils, gluten, soy, oat and dairy. The company has a strong commitment to an environmentally-friendly way of doing business, which includes using post-consumer content in their packaging to make it more environmentally friendly.
Better yet, California Baby also donates a portion of its proceeds from the I Love You line to a California breast cancer research program.
The Aromatherapy line is supposed to help relieve chest congestion and stuffiness. But does it work?
The GOOD: This has a fresh, eucalyptus scent that is sure to wake up nostrils. After trying this while I was congested, it did help me breathe a little clearer. When I bathed my congested son, it had a similar effect. And the bubble wand that comes with it? So, so fun. Plus, this is free from complex unknown ingredients and toxins.
The BAD: At $13.95 for a 13 ounce bottle, it is a little pricey to use regularly.
MONEY MATTERS: California Baby Colds & Flu Aromatherapy Bubble Bath retails for $13.99. It’s available at retail locations such as Target and online at Amazon.
The MOM VERDICT
Sarah says: Who knew blowing bubbles in the shower could be so much fun?!? It is. I got into the habit of trying it every day. In terms of the performance of this as a bubble bath, I poured some into the flow of water when filling up the tub and it produced a nice amount of bubbles. And the scent was still clearly discernible. All in all, a total win here. I just wish it came at a lower price point.
Cate says: The bubble wand was a nice fun touch and something different. I loved the aromatherapy aspect of it, and like Sarah, felt that it helped with clearing up congestion a bit. There’s a lot of that going around our house lately, unfortunately. In terms of bubble bath, it didn’t lather as much as some of the others we use, but we just used a mix instead to get the best of all worlds. It is pricier than the brands of bubble bath we normally purchase, but a few dollars cheaper on Amazon, and if we use it in conjunction with our other ones, it will last us longer.
