Today I will provide information regarding the `Natural Sun Care Creme`and `Butterfly Weed Herbals - In the Bush Citronella Body Oil`

What is the difference between a physical barrier vs a chemical sunscreen?

A physical barrier sunscreen physically blocks the sun's UV rays. These are often found in ingredients of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
Often, sunblocks containing these two ingredients have been messy and opaque. Substance Natural Sun Care Creme however, uses microionized zinc. This we feel is the safest & most effective option. It creates the same physical barrier, but is more transparent, and less messy when rubbed in.
Physical barriers also have the added benefit over chemical sunscreen of blocking UVA rays. UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin's surface, increasing the risk of celluar skin damage. Most chemical sunscreens do not block UVA rays effectively. The best known and proven UVA protection is provided by products that contain zinc oxide.Furthermore chemical sunscreens can be an irritant to sensitive skin. Zinc, on the other hand, has many beneficial properties including being anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory; beneficial to sensitive, delicate skin.

New stock ... and lots of it!

Wow what a busy week it has been! Lots of new stock from several different wholesalers! Where to begin....

Little Soles shoes arrived!! Wow... they are very impressive! I LOVE THEM! The quality is absolutely amazing and they are so much nicer than they looked. I now know why so many of my customers recommended them! I just wish they made them in MY size.. I do have some extras in stock for people to view or for sale. Ask for details.

Happy Heinys stock arrived today! The training pants that so many of you have been waiting for are now in stock! Give me a call to set up a time for you to come by and check them out. There are also several other brands and styles of training pants in stock. Each brand has their perks and it really is a personal choice as to which brand will fit and work best for your little one!

For those of you who have requested the DryBees sized diapers these have arrived!!! Some very cute prints came in this batch! Lots of stock in all sizes available at the present time!

I had the "joy" (yes that is sarcasm... sorry ... lol) of testing the silk liners on my little one this week. She has a bit of a teething diaper rash that is being stubborn. I decided to try the silk liners as these liners have an antimicrobial property and come highly recommended for sensitive skin and rashes. I was totally skeptical! But the great news is that it really has been working well and I am seeing improvements. The joys of 2 year old molars!!!!

Due to tons of requests for an all natural products including sunscreen and bug repellant, I have placed an order for these products and will try to get the details of each posted on FACEBOOK in the next few days. I chose brands that are Canadian made and come highly recommended with great customer reviews! It will be nice to have deet free bug repellent options for my own family as well as yours!

Okay, I am all typed out for tonight and will try to update as often as I can to keep this up to date! (thanks for the nudge from one of my fantastic customers, this posting made it on here tonight) ;-)

First time blogging...




WELCOME TO ALL NATURAL BABIES' BLOG... my very first attempt at blogging, so bear with me! :-)

Wow what a fantastic weekend that was! A bit on the HOT side for my liking, but I know many of you love the hot hot hot weather so I hope you had a very enjoyable weekend with your loved ones!

I will be using this blog to try to keep everyone up to date on exciting new products, sales, order deadlines for specific items, and any changes that may be occurring!! So here goes...

This week I will contine with the clearance sale on the Melissa and Doug items. Although many items have "flew out the door" there is still a good selection of puzzles, First Play toy sets, and some other miscellaneous items! These items are priced to sell well below the prices of other retailers in this area so take advantage of some early Christmas shopping! :-)

This week there will be a clearance on DryBees PUL pocket diapers. I have a very limited quantity in really colorful and cute prints. Regularly these sell for $17.99+GST each. Clearance price is: $14.99 +GST each.

One of the new items arriving very soon that will be here just in time for more of this hot summer weather is the Drip Stiks:
  • Keeps kids' clothes clean by catching the sticky drips from ice cream cones or any frozen treat on a stick.
  • Two products in one: One end holds frozen treats on a stick. Flip the Dripstik over and the other end holds ice cream cones in almost any size and variety.
  • Saves parents time from cleaning up colorful puddles from forgotten desserts.
  • Makes an easy birthday party favor! Serve ice cream without stressing about guests making a mess, then simply send the Dripstik home with them.
  • Perfect for road trips. Indulge your children with stops at ice cream shacks without worrying about the upholstery. Let them get the cone instead of a cup and spoon.
  • Durable, soft plastic is long-lasting and easy-care-- simply pop into the dishwasher!
  • Six fun kid colours: Bionic Blue, Mellow Yellow, Awesome Orange, Keen Green, Radical Red and Punky Purple.

I will post more items as they arrive. Please feel free to check out pictures of many of my items on FACEBOOK at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=35071342395
