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.

my little one cozy with his new baby, Belo Heart A little bit dark and on the burnt side because of too much swimming, but Belo Baby products helped in keeping his skin and hair smooth 

We mums always make sure to use only the all-natural and the safest products for our children right? We cannot help it, we only want the best for them and in case of baby products, we only want the safest and the purest to touch their skin. My little one may no longer be a baby although he still claims to be one, but even now that he is almost 7, I am still careful with the products I use on him.

In my previous Belo Baby post, I mentioned how much I am loving these new line of skin care products for babies and kids. We’ve now finished an entire bottle of the Hair and Body Wash and I really love its  lovely soft scent.  Apart from its scent, I also love how the Face and Body Lotion makes our skin soft and smooth. I stashed them in our swimming class bag and used them on my little swimmer after spending numerous hours on the pool. You know that pool water {oftentimes reeking with chlorine} can be rather cruel on the skin and hair, especially in children. Jared would have very dry skin as well as very rough hair right after pool time and I am delighted that the Belo Baby Lotion helps in keeping his skin soft and supple while the Wash aids in keeping his locks manageable.

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

Product Review: Casa de Lorenzo’s Coffee Dark + Lemongrass Manila Castile Soaps

Coffee is one of my simple indulgences. The truth is, it feels like I am not fully awake until I have my mug of steaming hot coffee in the morning. This is the reason why I readily signed up to review the all new Casa de Lorenzo Coffee Dark and the Lemongrass Manila Castile Soaps. I am so excited to experience how my favorite pick-me-upper will do the same for my skin. I have tried other products from Casa de Lorenzo before {you may check out my review here} so I know that they have earth-friendly and good quality castile soaps and oils.

Casa de Lorenzo sent me a bottle each of these variants for review purposes. These liquid soaps are in amber-colored bottles, which help protect the quality of the soaps they contain. Why castile soaps, you ask? The name is from the Castile region of Spain where these Olive Oil-based soaps originated from.

More intrigued with Casa de Lorenzo’s Coffee Dark Castile Soap, I tried it the next day after receiving my package. This natural soap variant is made from organic ingredients like Olive Oil, Virgin Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, and combined with local ground coffee beans. It’s coffee scent is reminiscent of the local kapeng barako and the invigorating aroma wafts into the bathroom as I pour a small amount onto my shower puff. Mind you, these castile soaps aren’t as soapy as regular soaps as they do not contain thickening agents so you might want to put more onto your shower puff for more lather, which is what I did exactly! As expected, this castile soap variant comes in a very dark brown shade, but surprisingly it does not leave even a hint of stain on my shower puff and the dark tint washed off immediately after rinsing. The soap does not leave a long-lasting coffee scent on the skin, either.

Casa de Lorenzo Coffee Dark Castile Soap is ideal for those once-a-week pampering, relaxing and luxurious baths that are sure to be a delight to the senses.
