It felt FANTASTIC! Unlike other body scrubs, I could feel how it scrubbing my dead skin away! I love the look and feel of my skin now that I’m using the scrub.

With Breath Natural Bubble Bath all you need is a drop. Really! Just a drop! The Breath Natural Baby Wash is supposed to last around 9 months for 1 bottle, and I think the bubble bath will be the same. We've been using it for a week now and you can't even tell it's been opened.
The scent is light and refreshing. There are hints of lavender, chamomile and aloe mixed in with the mandarin and lime, but the lavender is a light note in the background and doesn't take over the scents like other lavender products seem too.
A 240 ml bottle is $15.00. Excellent value for a product that you'll have for almost a year!

"The body wash smells so spectacular. The body wash is very gentle and smooth. It does get a decent later as well (something that you can not always get with all natural products). It did not dry out my skin, and my skin is rather sensitive. I use this everyday, and just a dab on a loufa is all it takes to get me clean."

"The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was how fresh it smelled. The soap is fabulous and does not leave my hands feeling dried out after use. The mama stick is fragrance free and is a fabulous moisturizer for after shaving. Another spot I’ve been using it is on my heels, now that it is flip flop season my feet need the extra attention."

Breathe (and wash) easy
"I must give a huge plug to a north Durham mama who makes the most wonderful bath products for babies (and grown-ups, too). Her name is Jill, and she runs Breathe Natural Bathy and Body out of her home. This summer she sent us home with some of her baby wash and soaps when we saw her at Uxbridge’s Art in the Park. I’ve tried a ton of natural bath products for my girls, and honestly, the bath wash she makes is the absolute best. One of my main complaints with natural stuff is that it doesn’t foam up nicely, and you feel like you’re just greasing up your baby and rinsing. Despite being SLS/SELS-free and in a house with soft water, we get great lather and bubbles with this wash. It rinses clean, leaves skin soft, and smells yummy — Jill’s stuff is scented with essential oils; in this case, lavender and chamomile. You’ll balk at the $15 price tag (I did when I found out how much it costs), but the stuff lasts forever. Like months. You need just drops in the tub and your palm. It easily compares or is better, price-wise for quantity and longevity, than the chemical-laden stuff you buy off the shelf. The lemon-lime soap I used was lovely in scent and size, and great as a sweet body-cleanser. But, not surprisingly based on the ingredients, lacked a lot of lather. So I didn’t like it for shaving or if I wanted lots of foam. At $3 each, they’re wonderful as a treat or gifts. Speaking of chemicals, Breathe’s stuff is natural, chemical-free and often sourced organic. Many ingredients are from ethical suppliers and are Fair Trade compliant. They’re also without SLS/SLES, formaldehyde, phthalate and parabens. These ingredients are used as preservatives, surfactants, plasticizers, detergents and/or foamers in regular soaps and baby washes, and can be irritating to the skin as well as pose other health concerns (check out this disturbing CBC documentary called The Disappearing Male which looks at the steady and dramatic increases in the incidence of boys and young men suffering from genital deformities, low sperm count, sperm abnormalities and testicular cancer, tied into phthalates and bisephenol-A). You can order Breathe products via email (breatheproducts@sympatico.ca) or direct via etsy. Please shop local and support our talented mompreneurs!"

Made with natural ingredients and essential oils (no synthetic fragrances, colors, phthalates or parabens here), you'll find everything from Baby Oil and Baby Wash to our favorite, the Baby Bottom Salve, which is great for diaper rash and dry skin. There are lots of great products for moms too, including the new Mama Moisturizer Stick with cocoa butter and Vitamin E, guaranteed to soothe your skin even if you're not expecting. www.breathenatural.com "
