Best features

Lisa: The consistency, texture and colour was perfect nothing to complain about here, overall I was quite happy with the product and would consider using/recommending this product to others. It did what it was intended too to protect my baby’s bottom. It is made with seaweed, coconut oil, she abutter and olive oil.  So all natural ingredients.
Caroline:
The best feature of this petroleum-free jelly is that it is for a start- petroleum free and you can just feel and see how natural this product is and there is no fragrance at all. The ingredients are lovely and contain pure natural products like Shea Butter, Olive Oil and Coconut Oil and you just know how good and nutritious these ingredients are for skin.
Tahra: It's got a lovely light formula, easy to use and goes a long way, an effective barrier and natural !!!

Worst features

Lisa: I do not have anything to complain about here.
Caroline: I can't fault the product, it absorbs beautiful into my babys skin and caused no irration at all. In fact it also healed some of his eczema on the back of his thighs. I suppose the worst feature of this product would probably be the price, as other products in the range look a bit pricey, but I must say, they are lovely.
Tahra: None. Some people might prefer it to be fragranced but I think that's unnecessary myself. No smell is so much better than the usual pungent chemical smell of barriers.

Practicality

Lisa: Because this is a new product I do not know  what sizes will be available and how it will be dispensed but I would recommend there should be a travel size tub and a tub you can keep at home.
Tahra: Great, I get the feeling a tub/tube would last a long time. As its a lighter formula you just dont use ( or waste) as much. Personally I would like it in tube form, but I can see the reasons against this.


Value for money

Lisa: As mentioned before this is a new product so price has not been discussed with me but I would expect to pay about £5 for 50ml.
Caroline: Excellent, fabulous quality baby product. Maybe pricey, but I think its worth it if you can afford it.
Tahra: Don't know yet. But generally you do expect to pay a bit more for a product which is so natural and small scale production. But when it is so effective and nice to use, you do't mind paying a bit extra.

Visual appeal

Lisa: The cream itself is fragrance free, with a nice consistency and texture.
Caroline: Lovely, fragrance free, jelly consistencey and it absorbed beautifully into my baby's skin. When you see this product you can't help thinking the words 'Kind, Nature, Soft, Gentle, Natural'.
Tahra:  Nothing to put you off !
