BABY FOAMING CLEANSER CHAMOMILE
"If you are a parent or guardian of children under 5 I suspect that you will have a packet of wet wipes within reach 24hrs of the day. If you are in the house you use them to wipe faces, bums, hands and toys (different wipes each time!). When you are out you always pack a sneaky packet of wipes for a quick wash mid-trip.
Foaming Baby Cleanser can be used anywhere on the body. You can use it for personal hygiene areas to keep skin clean and cleansed, faces and hands to get rid of grubby dirt and germs ... and also toys, pram handles, etc....
We take our children to indoor play areas, now each time one child will fall ill after the event and I am convinced that its because all the toys and areas are not kept totally clean. As all children use the toys, play balls, slides etc.. bacteria can be spread from child to child easily. Having a bottle of cleanser in your bag/pocket can at least try to keep your children germ free by giving their hands a quick foam-bath before snacks or occasionally just to keep them fresh."

"The foaming cleanser is a baby bag must have, really useful for cleaning baby toys, high chair trays and cleaning baby's hands - we wouldn't do without it."

Winner of the TIPS 'Innovative' Award - product testing review
A multipurpose product, Organic Babies foaming cleanser provides an innovative alternative to baby wipes.
Backed up by over ten years of research its safe formulation is over 96% organic, suitable for vegetarians and certified by the Organic Food Federation. All products in the Organic Babies range are handmade in small batches using the most natural and organic ingredients. This makes them ideal for even the most sensitive skin types.
Ideal for hands, faces, and bottoms, the cleanser can be squirted directly onto the skin, used with a washable wipe or natural sponge. It is also great for cleaning highchairs, change-mats and toys.
Testers loved the light consistency of the foam which was easy to dispense even with one hand (very handy with a wriggly baby to deal with).
The even distribution of the foam avoids the need to use product in a concentrated form. Testers also liked the fact that the cleanser dried quickly leaving the skin lovely soft and moisturised.
The price tag is a little high, but a little does go a long way and with so many uses the Organic Babies foaming cleanser really is a handy addition to a baby bag. One Tester suggested using washable wipes with plain water to clean the nappy area and finishing off with a squirt of the foam.
Here are some of the Testers’ comments:
• Knowing the ingredients were pure and free from harmful ingredients
• It is effective without being harsh
• Very easy to use with one hand because of the pump dispenser
• Lovely! Soft, smooth dries quickly and leaves skin soft, no residue
• It didn’t bother his skin and he is prone to nappy rash
• I didn’t think it would work so well on nappy changes so I was very pleased
• Me and my partner used it on our hands and found it very good
• Far and away exceeded my expectations, am impressed with its cleansing powers!
The Green People Company is known for its green credentials and ethical trading – they donate 10% of their profits to ‘green’ issues.
All Testers agreed this is indeed a useful product for babies, toddlers and children. Its antibacterial properties give added peace of mind.
Bizzie Baby Review 1 - Rated 4.5 out of 5
Thought it was a good idea - an organic product that's kind to the environment and to your baby - and can double up to clean toys too. I did think the price could be off-putting though. Website - Suffice to say it's now added to my Favourites! Good range of products - I notice they are pushing things like their Foaming Hand Sanitizer as a good weapon in the war against Swine Flu...I might buy some!....as I'm not keen on alcohol based alternatives (too drying).
Appearance of packaging is distinctive and not over-fussy. It clearly states the ingredients and that it's organic and contains no parabens or other nasties. The product itself is foam in a convenient pump dispenser so nice and easy to dispense and use. Not a hard to use product so it does exactly what it says on the can!
Easy to apply either straight onto hands or onto a cloth. The foam means that you can't spill it. It has a pleasant "green", non-chemically sort of smell and it feels nice too. It leaves no residue and is a natural product with no nasties in it, so you don't need to wipe it off. This is just as effective when used with a cloth to clean baby faces and bottoms and sticky toddler hands. Useful as a hand cleanser too without a cloth, although this obviously doesn't remove visible grime.
Yes, skin felt really nice and soft and soothed. It's good for me to use too, as constant hand washing with soap and water plus using alcohol-based hand gels has really dried my hands out....I've got typical "mum" hands! I tested it at home and out 'n' about and it's great to carry around in the nappy bag as it can be used instead of wipes, as a hand cleanser and to clean plastic toys etc too, so you really only do need one product.
My toddler hadn't seen a foaming cleanser before so the novelty value really appealed and she wanted to clean her hands all the time!
Confident using as states that it is antibacterial so no worries there, even on sensitive skin. Good - the packaging states that the ingredients are organic, natural and there are no sulphates, parabens or artificial colours or fragrances in it which gives you confidence in its quality. My initial impression was that £8.95 was scarily expensive!
However having used it I would say it offers better value for money than I first thought, as the foam lasts a long time, compared to say £2 for a pack of wipes. I will be buying this product and recommending to friends and family.
Easy to use, pleasant smelling, moisturising, antibacterial and versatile - an invaluable addition to my baby bag - and it's organic, natural and fair traded too!

Bizzie Baby Review 2 - Rated 4.2 out of 5
My initial impression of this product is that it wouldn't be as good as it made out to be. I was wrong. The website is simple to find your way around and is informative about the products on offer. Packaging good (as it was descriptive and easily identifiable).
Instructions very straight forward and easy to understand. The foaming cleanser is very simple and easy to use it squirts out easily and is very easy at removing it, you can just simply rub it in to any surface and it just vanishes. I did use it a few times on bum changes and it was as good as baby wipes for removal of delightful little presents, but I do prefer baby wipes as you don’t need to use/take two items with you its easier to just pull wipes out of a pack. When used on hands it removes the stickiness well but remains a little sticky till it dries. Didn’t notice a difference in the softness of my child’s skin.
I used it both in the house and out the house although after very sticky sweets e.g. lollies and chewitts I found you needed to wipe with a cloth after using the cleanser. Yes it was easier to use the cleanser after food as it was easier to clean between finger and those other nooks and crannies. I felt confident that my child was as clean. Amazed how well it worked even on plastic toys however it didn't work well on foam toys as the foam soaked it up too quick.
Bit expensive when living on a budget £8.95 makes it too expensive to use on a regular basis. I would buy this product to keep in the car or somewhere you very rarely need cleaning wipes e.g. this product would be great to keep in the glove box for those unexpected messy situations. I would recommend to friends and family as I was amazed on how well it worked. I didn't know where to mention but this product didn't have any effect on my son’s eczema.
This product is quick and easy when the kids are dirty.

Bizzie Baby Review 3 - 3.2 out of 5
Like the website, products look good. Generally quite interested in organic/natural skincare and cleansing as eldest child has eczema. Packaging is fine - practical and clear but nothing special. The instructions are perfectly clear and understandable.
Easy to use but to be effective needed to use with a cloth or tissue so still needed to carry something like this with me. Was as effective but only if used with a cloth (only used for hand /face cleaning, not at nappy changes). Used at home and when out, mostly when out for cleaning when no water available e.g. in the park.
Older child found foam great fun which made getting her to agree to be cleaned easier! Also good for distracting after a fall, using foam to clean off any mud / dirt, usually stopped any crying. Not always, sometimes still felt a bit sticky even if no obvious dirt left. But only if can find stockist without having to pay p & p or if ordering other items at same time.
Would tell people about it, probably not going to be evangelical about it though and would describe it as an indulgence rather than an essential. Good quality and practical but some limitations and not cheap.
