Shoosha Baby Calm Baby Massage Oil Review

As some of you may or may not know, I'm not a baby nor do I have a baby of my own but I do love me some baby products. How I see it is, if it's gentle enough for a baby then it's gentle enough for me! Shoosha was first introduced to me by Patricia, Founder, while she was demoing the goods at The Big Carrot. As with most creators, she was passionate and eager to get her products out there. Shoosha carries a fairly wide range of products and I've been told that their Rejuvenating Stretch Mark Serum doubles as an anti-aging facial serum.  

Every day after work I would go home and experiment with making lip balms, hand lotions and soaps – and have the burned pots to show for it! I would create scents with essential oils that just made me so happy. My house started to smell of lavender and neroli, and I had pots full of beautiful balms and lotions that were simply gorgeous. I realized that I felt happier doing this than just about anything else. I had found my bliss. 

Ingredient after ingredient in the vast majority of products were harmful. Carcinogens, pesticides, reproductive toxins, endocrine disrupters, plasticizers, formaldehyde and more! In baby care products? Despite all the care and attention I had taken as a mom, I had been pouring toxic chemicals on my children for their entire young lives. I also read an alarming statistic that children can accumulate up to 50% of their lifetime cancer risk by their 2nd birthday because of all the toxins they are exposed to, and their skin is 10 times thinner than an adults. I immediately researched all the organic standards, and realized there are a shocking lack of standards in the ‘natural’ care industry and many crazy marketing claims. This experience opened my eyes; women like me were being duped. That was my turning point. 

That’s why I have listed my ingredients, their description and their purpose on this website. No secrets, no smoke and mirrors, no funky claims or dubious certifications. We chose USDA Certification because it’s the highest organic food grade standard in North America. Nobody should have to get a chemical degree to decide whether a product is safe or not. Trust ought to be more simple. Shoosha uses only pure, organic, beautiful ingredients that will nurture your delicate babies – and pamper you too. 

I created Shoosha for anyone who wants to live a clean simple life, stay healthy and enjoy more time on earth with the people that they love so much.

Description: We only use the finest and purest organic oils infused in organic herbs for your baby’s delicate massage. Our oils are all organic food grade, and used for their calming and restorative aromatherapy benefits. Both Chamomile and Calendula are added for their anti-inflammatory and calming properties, both phenomenal for eczema and reducing redness and skin irritations.

While I've been eyeing this body oil for a very long time, I actually bought it because the OLO Cleansing Oil bottle went crazy and I couldn't get any product out of it. With ingredients like sunflower oil, calendula, chamomile, and lavender, how could this not make an amazing cleansing oil? Plus, it was on sale. Double bonus? I think so. As predicted, it makes a fantastic cleansing oil. It removes makeup with ease, smells delicious (not at all overpowering), doesn't break me out, and leaves my skin super soft. Although, I find it makes an even better body oil. I love how easily it absorbs into the skin, soothes and moisturizes dry skin, and leaves behind a light lavender vanilla scent. Divine. Basically, this is a great multipurpose product. The only draw back is the bottle, it often times leaks. It would probably make a mess if you were to travel with it. A lockable pump would be ideal, just saying. Other than that, it's a superb product for babies, kids, and adults. There's also an unscented version for those who prefer it.

Retails for approx. $22.99 CDN for Lavender Vanilla or $19.99 for Unscented. Both bottles are 118 ml. Can be purchased through Shoosha and one of these retailers.
