Okay this is the first product that has made my almost-2yr-old-girl WANT to wash in soap.

Pictured lefft: Thread put the range to the baby bath test.

My pick of the naturally-sourced and made in NZ skincare line, Made4Baby, is the foaming Hair & Body Wash with Organic Citrus Fragrance.

I especially like that it contains no Sodium Lauryl Sulphate as its foaming agent.

Made4Baby (www.made4baby.co.nz) is all made in New Zealand from naturally-sourced ingredients, and is sold in Australia, Hong Kong, Dubai (where Botty Barrier Creme was picked "Top Barrier Creme" by Time Out Kids Magazine) and is launching in Korea shortly. There’s also a Fragrance Free range for children – or grown ups – with sensitive skins and tendancies to eczema.

Another to look out for is their new Made4BabyBellies Belly Oil for Pregnancy Stretch Marks; a petroleum-free, fragrance-free blend of oils including Argan Oil produced by a woman’s co-operative in Morocco. Argan is a rich source of Vitamin E and essential fatty acids to retain and restore moisture and is ideal for stretch marks, dry and sensitive pregnancy skin. Unlike petroleum based products it doesn’t sit on the surface of the skin leaving that ‘oily’ feeling.

Use it head…

…to toe.

And everywhere in between. Hands up if you like it!

Knock ’em dead, Made4Baby.

Thread also tried the range at toddler bathtime. The foaming Hair & Body Wash with Organic Citrus Fragrance went down a huge treat and turned bathtime into a massive game of giggles.

It smelt good and ticked the boxes of avoiding nasty chemicals. And the fact that my toddler wouldn’t stop using the foaming soap? Amazing.

It’s not just made4baby, I think it’s made4Mummy, too.
