I've been cloth diapering for two years now and during that time, Violet hasn't really had any diaper rashes, but occasionally gets irritated skin. I originally tried coconut oil and breast milk, but wasn't seeing amazing results. Then I came across Sweet Knee, a small, family-owned business that began making organic skincare products after their own child experienced a severe reaction to a disposable diaper and no products, over the counter nor prescription, were healing him. I purchased their Bun Glaze and Oatmeal Cookie Bath and was a loyal customer ever since.
However, not too long ago, I got an e-mail from Sweet Knee, saying they were closing up shop to focus on their family. I was incredibly bummed. But then I found out they were selling their recipes to another family who wanted to pick up where they were leaving off---and that's how Nyme Organics was born!
When I discovered I could still buy my hands down favorite baby skincare product, I couldn't help but message them to say how much I loved, loved, loved their Bun Glaze. And then they e-mailed me back offering to send me their Newborn Bundle, along with a teething necklace and bracelet. I was super excited to try out the rest of their organic and gluten-free products.
As I mentioned before, I've used and loved the Oatmeal Cookie Bath. Like many babies, Violet developed a little bit of eczema. While I was breastfeeding, we figured out that she'd break out whenever I ate any gluten. This bath cleanser was so great because it soothed her skin and was gluten-free.
The Bluebird Castile Soap and Hulababy Bar were awesome at bath time. Both left Violet's skin feeling clean and moisturized. The bar soap was actually permanently moved to our shower because I loved how my skin felt after using it. I don't have especially sensitive skin, but I've found regular bar soaps leave my skin super dry. The Hulababy Bar Soap left my skin feeling silky and has a subtle, refreshing scent.
I really can't praise the Bun Glaze enough. It heals skin irritations and diaper rashes in less than a day. I also used to use it all the time when Violet would accidentally scratch her soft baby skin with her razor sharp talons. It was seriously amazing how quickly it would heal a cut. And the best part is that it's safe to use with cloth diapers!
Rubbit Oil was pretty versatile. We used it on Violet to give her skin some extra moisture. I rub it on my ever-expanding belly to help prevent stretch marks. And Jon now uses it on his face after he shaves. He said he liked it because it didn't irritate his skin or make him look oily.
My new favorite Nyme product is On The Spot though. Violet's skin around her mouth occasionally gets irritated. Whether it's from her pacifier at night, drooling because of teething, or just because she has sensitive skin, I haven't been able to figure it out. I tried coconut oil and didn't notice any improvement. I started using a product called Boudreaux's Baby Kisses and it worked great, but when I noticed one of its ingredients was paraffin (a byproduct of crude oil which is linked with carcinogens), I stopped using it. On The Spot is so great because it helps heal Violet's skin super quickly. I've even used it on scratches with great results. I'm seriously so relieved to have found this product.
