Versatility

What I love about our products is they're so versatile! So you don't need to buy tons for separate things. For instance, the diaper rash cream is like a "Neosporin", so we use it for bug bites, sunburns, scars/stretch marks, eczema. So it's really not considered a diaper cream at our house. The hand sanitizer is great for pimples. Listed below is a bunch of options.

Plus I've been reading a lot of testimonials lately about the Ava Dish Soap being great for stains, whether it be on clothing or furniture.

On a side note, on a mini-vacation last week, we stayed at 2 different hotels. A medium class and high class and both had bathing products with chemicals in it. The first 2 ingredients were water, SLS. For those not familiar with SLS, it stands for Sodium Laureth Sulfate, and it produces the suds in all products. But it is a toxin. I was very surprised. I sort of chuckled to myself about the ingredients.

That's all for now! ;)
