Washing our hands frequently is one way we help to prevent the spread of germs around our household. Since this includes our 2 year old daughter, I've been in search for a gentler and safer soap for her sensitive little hands. That's when I was introduced to The Village Company and their newly launched Mr. Bubble Brand Hand Soaps.
The Village Company is a privately owned company based in Chaska Minnesota. They are dedicated to making high quality affordable bath products and have been for over 30 years! As the leading manufacturer in bath products they carry many well-known brands for children and adults, like Mr. Bubble, Sesame Street, Village Naturals Therapy, Village Naturals Bath Shoppe and more. They recently expanded their kids' brands to include Mr. Bubble Hand Soap and Body Wash and Sesame Street Baby Care products.
The Village Company sent us several of their Mr. Bubble products, including their new Original and Extra Gentle Hand Soaps, the Original Bubble Bath and the Original Foam Soap.
I was really excited when the products arrived on our doorstep, especially to try the new Mr. Bubble Moisturizing Hand Soaps! As soon as I pulled them out of the box, Kaelyn couldn't wait to use them. I couldn't believe it, but she was actually begging to wash her hands...this was great! The Mr. Bubble Hand Soaps make it fun for her to wash her hands. It's something she wants to do now, instead of us making her. I really appreciate having the Extra Gentle Hand Soap, as it's perfect for her sensitive skin.
With natural moisturizers including Aloe and Olive Oil, the hypo-allergenic and Dermatologist tested formulas are gentle on hands and great for frequent use (which is exactly what we needed around our house!). The Extra Gentle includes a formula that has no fragrance and no dyes. Right now the Mr. Bubble Hand Soaps are only available at Rite Aid stores, but will be available at Kroger stores beginning in June of this year. Once you try it and love it (which I have a feeling you will), be sure to request that your local retailer carry it as well.
Washing her hands wasn't the only thing Kaelyn immediately wanted to do after the package arrived! Once she saw the Original Bubble Bath and the Original Foam Soap, the next thought on her mind was 'bath time'! She has always enjoyed taking baths, but to have fun bubbles and soaps makes it even better. That same night for her bath, we used both products and she LOVED them!
Bubbles are always fun in the tub, especially with the #1 Brand of Bubble Bath in America! Mr. Bubble Bubble Bath is one of our favorites because it not only makes great bubbles, but it is now hypo-allergenic, Dermatologist Tested, and Pediatrician Approved. It comes in extra gentle which is something I could see us using as well.
The Mr. Bubble Foam Soap was something new to us. We had never used it, but knew it would be a lot of fun. This was probably Kaelyn's favorite product from the four we received! She could use her imagination to make all kinds of designs with the fun foam. The fact that it's safe and gentle on her skin, and leaves it feeling soft and smooth, is a huge plus! Like the Bubble Bath, the Foam Soap also comes in Extra Gentle which I think is fantastic!
We have been very pleased with the Mr. Bubble products we received! They have not only made washing hands and bath time more fun, but help to ease my mind knowing that we're using something gentle and safe for our kids' skin.
