Baby Shower Extravaganza #10 : Maclaren Beginning


beginning..........
In collaboration with an internationally respected
aromatherapy expert, Maclaren created an organic-based
and holistic personal care range, which is designed to 
promote the well being of mum and baby through purity,
nurturing and connection from the beginning.


Maclaren beginning is a holistic line of products designed to pamper mother and baby.  They have been carefully created to meet the emotional and physical needs of mothers and babies.

The for Mother line has great product like Nurturing Bath Milk, Alleviating Leg Lotion, Supporting Belly Balm along with many others.  While the for Baby line includes Calming Bath Milk, Protecting Nappy Balm, Cocooning Massage Oil and more.
 
I tried the  Hand Sanitizing Gel with organic lavender from the for Mother line. The antiseptic properties of Alcohol eliminate up to 99.99% of germs, is proven safe for toddlers and is bacterial against a wide range of pathogens.  beginning Natural Hand Sanitizer also nourishes the skin with vitamin-rich moisturizing Organic Aloe Vera and soothes with Organic Lavender.  I found the light lavender scent to be refreshing  and it is just the right size to toss in your purse, diaper bag or even jacket pocket.  I keep one in the car also, it is perfect for when you are on the go, away from a sink, and you need to sanitize before you feed your baby or after you change a diaper. 


I also got to experience the Comforting Room Mist for baby from the for Baby line of beginning products.  The comforting room mist is made with pure organic lavender, Mandarin and Roman Chamomile essential oils.  Comforting room mist for babies can be used daily to create a comforting memory. From the earliest age aroma is anchored in memory, triggering an emotional response to the sense of smell.  Use the room mist at home when baby is resting and safe. When away from home, use to comfort baby, creating a sense of familiarity and a connection to the safety of home.  I just spritz it 2 or 3 times in Wiggle's room before bedtime and she drifts off to the light scent.  My husband is sensitive to overly strong scents and has not been bothered by the delicate lavender and chamomile scent of the room mist.  I can not say 100% that is was due to the room mist but on weekends Bean almost always gets up around 5:30 and this morning, after using the mist last night, she slept an extra hour (yeah me!!)

Where to Buy
Maclaren beginning products are available directly from the Maclaren website.
