My own little movie star… |
These American baby beauty products are so HOT it’s almost worth booking a flight to the US of A just to get your hands on them! Failing that you need a really good friend/family member who just so happens to live stateside. Who’ll happily ship them over or, go over their luggage allowance especially for you.
I know there’s a lot of choice for baby products as it is – but, when a baby beauty brand is loved or even owned by a stylish celebrity – it makes them oh-so-more-desirable doesn’t it? Here’s my top 5 American Baby Beauty Buys that I wish our Brit VIB’s could try and the must-have CULT products (worth paying the Airmail postage for!):

CALIFORNIA BABY
Tag line: Safe Natural Fun
Company launched: 1995
Products in range: 70+
Cult product: Calendula Cream
Celebrity mama fans: Julia Roberts, Halle Berry, Katie Holmes, Courtney Cox
Price Range: $$
What’s the deal then? California Baby is a completely natural baby care line that in the USA you can pick up in Wholefoods, as well as Target. It was founded by fashionista-turned mum-trepreneur Jessica Iclisoy over 20 years ago when she couldn’t find natural products for her first son. I have been on many a fashion trip and had to head straight to Target with photographers (rather than do a model casting!) as they wanted to stock up on this for their kids back home.

Company launched: 2005
Products in range: 20+
Cult product: Calming Lavender Body Wash
Celebrity mama fans: Hilary Duff, Tiffany Amber Thiessen

What’s the deal then? The organic and botanical ingredients ensure simple and lightly scented products that were developed by pediatricians and real-life parents. With a great recycling program, ‘family tree’ inspired online forums for parents and charity commitments – Little Twig has big ideas on caring for families and the world we live in ‘one bathtub at a time’! I also really love its cute motif washcloths which Miss Marine is lucky enough to have a set of and the Tangerine Bubble Bath which is yummy – and leaves her skin super clean and soft.
