I received the Basic Four: Extra Moisturizing Soap, After Shower Moisture Spritz, Super Moisture Body Balm and Niaouli Butter Stick. We have used the products for 2 weeks and are very impressed with the results.

Extra Moisturizing Soap

Ingredients: Saponified oils of Cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, Elaeis quineesis (palm) oil, Olea europea (olive) seed oil, Butyrospermum parkii (shea butter) fruit, Theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter, Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

My son has used this in the shower for a few weeks now.  The bumps are still there but the skin on his arms is now soft-not dry and tight. He says is smells like chocolate, what boy doesn’t want to bathe with chocolate soap?

After Shower Moisture Spritz

Ingredients: Olea Europea (Olive) Seed Oil, Prunes Amgdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, and Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

We spray this on after he gets out of the shower, before he towel dries. It leave his skin moisturized, it is no longer dry or itchy.

Super Moisture Body Balm

Ingredients: Olea Europea (Olive) Seed Oil, Prunes Amgdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Macadamia ternifolia Seed Oil, Butyrospermum parki (Shea Butter) Fruit, Theobroma cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Glycine soya (Soy) Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

This is amazing! It is unlike any skincare product I have ever used. Since it’s made of 100% natural butters and oils it is not greasy. It is rich and thick, you only need a few drops of this balm to sooth your skin. I use it a lot, especially after shaving my legs, it quickly soothes the skin.

Niaouli Butter Stick

Ingredients: Butyrospermum parki (Shea Butter) Fruit, Theobroma cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Prunes Amgdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil,Olea Europea (Olive) Seed Oil, Soy, Melaleuca quinquenervia viridiflora (Niaouli) oil, Vanilla Fragrance, Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

I use this nightly on my cracked heels. The results are wonderful! The once very dry, cracked, itchy skin is now much softer and not itchy.

As you can see, all of the Skin Free skincare products that we tried passed with flying colors. I bet you want to get some now too. Skin Free products are available at your local CVS and Walgreens stores as well as at www.skinfree.net, www.drugstore.com and www.cvs.com

Zarbee’s Children’s Cough Syrup was developed by a pediatrician and is all natural. The ingredients are a proprietary blend of honey, water, natural flavors, Vitamin C, citric acid and zinc gluconate. It can be used for coughs caused by minor throat irritation, night coughing, dry scratchy throats, immune system support and hoarseness. It comes in cherry and lemon flavors and according to my son, “It tastes pretty good.” A 4oz bottle costs $9.99 and comes with free standard shipping at the Zarbee’s website. That cost equals approximately $0.40 per dose for a 6-11 year old child VS $0.57 for the same dose for a national brand over-the-counter medicine.

If you remember in October 2008 the FDA banned the marketing of over-the-counter cough medicines for children under age 4. These medicines have been found dangerous for young children. Zarbee’s is safe for children 12 months and up. In December 2007, a research team from Penn State University concluded that, “Honey may offer parents an effective and safe alternative,” to over-the-counter medicines for children.

My son said that the cough syrup soothed his scratchy throat and lessened his cough. I would definately use this product with my children, it is healthy and drug-free. I have 4 sample packets, 2 lemon and 2 cherry, to give away to one Mom Maven Reader.
