ecostore USA Review and Giveaway! {{CLOSED}}

For some time, I have been trying to user safer products for both the environment and my family. My children have never had any major problems with skin sensitivity, but I have and I want to protect them from that discomfort. In addition, household cleaners with toxins are a major concern for me since I have a crawling baby and numerous pets.

From the ecostore USA website:

ecostore USA (www.ecostore USA.com) loves making a difference in people’s lives. We are passionate about improving the planet and bringing you everyday household products that are safer and healthier for you and your family. ecostore USA has formulated its products without toxic petrochemicals, phosphates, nitrates, chlorine, ammonia, enzymes, synthetic perfumes, coloring or dyes, optical whiteners/brighteners or chemical preservatives. Instead, ecostore USA uses sustainable ingredients derived from plants and minerals, producing safer products that work equally as effectively as those that are chemical-based. Customers anecdotally have reported that, after using ecostore USA laundry products to wash clothes and linens, children’s eczema and dermatitis have disappeared, while allergies and asthma symptoms have decreased.

• are plant- and/or mineral-based and free of nasty chemicals (No nasty chemicals™)

• use safer ingredients from renewable resources

I was given the opportunity to review two ecostore USA products recently. I have a slight obsession with laundry detergent liquid so I was thrilled to review Laundry Liquid. In addition, both of my children suffer from diaper rash from time to time and I have yet to find anything that soothes their discomfort quickly so I was also pleased to review the Baby Nappy Balm.

We have had a handful of occasions to try the Baby Nappy Balm on both of my diaper wearers. It is non-greasy and doesn’t have an offending smell. It has done a fantastic job of clearing up the redness from Joley’s bottom and Johnny as well. Johnny asks for the Baby Nappy Balm when we change his diaper because he said it “doesn’t hurt”. I am assuming that without the chemicals normally found in diaper rash creams, Baby Nappy Balm is just soothing on his bottom. You can use it on other conditions besides diaper rash though! If your baby has cradle cap, try to use some of this product. Any other skin irritations? Give this a try. It is made with natural ingredients making it safe and soothing! You can purchase Baby Nappy Balm for only $10 for 2 ounces.

ecostore USA has a lot of great products I would love to try besides those listed above. I am especially interested in the Rosemary Orange Shampoo and Vanilla Soap. I bet my dogs would be pleased if I bought some Herbal Fresh Shampoo and Leave-in Conditioner for them too! I encourage you to check out their wide array of products because I am sure you will find something that you “can’t live without” too.

You can purchase items for your baby, yourself, your home and your pets. These are all high-quality, safe products and I am more than pleased with my two review items. If you have a Meijer Store near you, you may be able to find some of the ecostore USA products there as well as online! What is even better???
