3 Things We Love About #BeloBaby + A Giveaway {Closed}

by // 76 Comments

Time does fly! Can you believe it has been a year since Belo Baby changed the way we take care of our skin? I was one of the privileged mum bloggers to get first dibs on their new product line when they launched last year {you can check out my post here}. We were also lucky to be the very first to see their TVC and watch their very adorable little model, Scarlet Snow Belo. Isn’t she just oozing with cuteness and charm? She sure is one of the most well-loved babies on Instagram and other social media platforms! In Love

Belo Baby products are heaven-sent especially for mums who are careful and mindful about what products to use on their children. This product line for children boasts of carefully-crafted products that contain all-natural ingredients that are sure to take care of the most delicate baby skin and get the approval of the most meticulous of mums! Belo Baby took extra care in choosing what to put in their products and chose Cocoa Butter {which strengthens and moisturizes skin, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties}, Shea Butter {a known superfood for the skin and naturally heals common skin conditions of babies like eczema and rash}, and Sweet Almond Oil {a natural emollient for softening skin by locking in moisture into the skin}.

Belo Baby was also careful about what to leave out and most mums will definitely have peace of mind to know that these baby products have 0% harmful chemicals like sulfates {a common sensitive skin irritant that strips the skin of its natural oil}, Tetrasodium EDTA {a preservative that breaks down the skin’s protective barrier}, parabens {synthetic preservatives used to prolong product shelf life and linked to numerous diseases including cancer, endocrine disruption, and skin irritation}, SLS, Tetrasodium Etidronate, phthalates {a chemical ingredient used to soften plastics and to help lotions penetrate the skin}, and formaldehyde, that could lead to skin irritation and an assortment of other diseases.

Belo Baby is, indeed, crafted with care for the most delicate skin, for the most meticulous mums.

This is a long overdue post and has been sitting on my “Drafts” folder for months now. I am glad I finally managed to publish it. Read on to know more about this all-natural dishwashing liquid that this green mum is raving about!

I have always loved natural and earth-friendly products, they are not only safe for my little man but also for the environment and our planet. That is why I was thrilled when I got this package from Cusina Dishwashing Liquid containing samples of their dishwashing liquid trio.

Cusina Dishwashing Liquid comes in 3 variants in vibrant 375ml bottle:

  1. Ginger Yuzu Peel ~ Slightly sweet and citrusy, with floral note from the Japanese yuzu fruit, and a spicy yet soothing hint from ginger make this a delicate scent that promotes tranquility
  2. Lemongrass Citrus ~ a first whiff reveals a familiar lemon scent. But then again, like discovering a new favorite song, in comes a mid-note of stimulating citrus with an energizing minty lemongrass finish.
  3. Grapefruit Lemon Zest ~ like your cheery fun-loving friend, Grapefruit Lemon Zest’s scent is there to brighten your day with uplifting top notes of fresh pink grapefruit and a clean, crisp lemon zest end.

Cusina Dishwashing Liquid is very effective in removing dirt and hard-to-remove grease. I also love how it leaves plates, pots, and pans, as well as those microwaveables {which are so tricky to wash} squeaky clean after each wash. It is also effective in removing odors from the hands, especially after peeling garlic and onions or preparing meat and fish dishes, so I always wash my hands with Cusina Dishwashing Liquid after working in my tiny kitchen. And because it is made of concentrated liquid, just a few drops of Cusina goes a long way! Among the 3 variants, I love Grapefruit Lemon Zest the most because grapefruit and lemon are two of my most favorite fruits and scents. [Read more…]

Introducing #BeloBaby: A New Line of Natural Products For Babies + Children

I have never been more conscious about the products I patronize and use until I became a mum. It did not help that my little man was born with such a sensitive skin that I had to scrutinize each product I use on him and make sure they are made from natural ingredients and are devoid of harmful chemicals that might do more harm than good on my son’s skin. It is also the reason why I was curious about the new all-natural line of baby and children products that one of the skin authorities in the country, Belo, is introducing very soon. This mum was excited to be invited to their product launch and get first dibs on these promising new products.

The Belo Baby launch was held at the lovely Museum Cafe in Makati last week and each guest was made to choose among the 3 different qualities that we consider when choosing products for our children. I opted for “safe” as I always go for dermatological-tested and natural products for the little one, products that I am sure won’t harm or irritate my son’s sensitive skin. Mums who choose the same qualities are seated together in one table. We later found out that there will be a little game later on in the day and those we were seated with will be our teammates. We were not as lucky as the other team who won in the end, but all mums were given a bag of Belo Sun Expert products to take home and try. Very timely as the weather these days are getting noticeably hotter by the second and we need to protect our skin from the sun’s harmful rays!

It was also in this little fun game that I learned the following trivia about baby’s skin:

  • A baby’s skin is not fully-developed and is not an efficient barrier to infection just yet
  • A baby’s skin is paper thin and is about 20-30% thinner than adult skin
  • A baby’s skin is very permeable and allows more substances through compared to an adult’s
