Ecostore USA Review and Giveaway

Before I had Kaelyn I have to admit that "green products" were not something I was very familiar with. It's amazing though how your perspective on things change once you have a baby. All of a sudden I became more aware of the hazardous chemicals in the cleaning products we were using and was determined to find a "greener" way to clean. I am so happy I turned to natural products! It helps to put my mind at ease knowing that my family is not being exposed to all toxins in so many products on the market today!!

I am always looking to learn more about natural cleaning products and brands people are using. That is why I was thrilled when I was contacted by Ecostore USA to review a couple of their environmentally friendly, plant and mineral-based household cleaning and personal care products that are not only safe for our planet...but also our families! They contain NO nasty chemicals! They gave us the chance to use their Baby Body Wash and Laundry Liquid.

I was very impressed with their Baby Body Wash! Ever since Kaelyn was a baby her skin has been quite sensitive to the products we use on her. Knowing this, we've always tried to use products that are as mild as possible. That's what I found to be true with this product! It was extremely mild and had no harsh effects on her skin at all. In fact, it left her skin feeling very smooth and healthy! It put my mind at ease that I not only didn't have to worry about her breaking out from this product, but also that it was safe.

The Laundry Liquid was equally as great!! It leaves absolutely no chemical residue build up on the items you wash like so many other products out there. I am very cautious with the laundry detergents I use...especially with Kaelyn's clothing. I enjoy the fact that this laundry liquid does not irritate her skin and leaves clothing clean. I have started using it on all of our clothes and will for the baby's clothing once he/she arrives this Fall as well!

They offer a number of products other than these that I'd love to try...like their Citrus Spray Cleaner and Baby Moisturizer. It's great knowing that they are safe and actually do what they are made to do! It's a line of products I will definitely be sure and tell others about! Oh...and on orders of $25 or more they offer FREE shipping!!
