Review - Boots Baby Sensitive Bath Range

For about the last month we have been using the Boots Sensitive Baby range of bath products for bath time with the girls.  They are not babies by any means now but at nearly 4 years one of them still has very sensitive skin and thus baby products are still always very much a feature of our bathroom.  I have used many baby specific bath products over the years but never yet the Boots own brand ones so this was a new trial for us.

I have to say I was very pleased with the products in general, the bubble bath and shampoo are both generous and provide a good foam without being irritating at all to my little ones skin.  There are no strong odours or colours either. At £1.99 for 400ml, I am pleased with the value for money factor too.  of course being Boots you also get Advantage points which is a bit of a bonus.  I always save mine for some make-up when I feel in need of a treat!


We also used the all over body lotion which was a little on the runny side for my liking, but it did go on well and was absorbed quickly so it was not really a problem.  The girls felt very grown up (like Mummy) having their lotion after bath, they are normally only used to aqueous cream!

We were also provided with a little elephant shaped natural sponge, which the girls fought over!  It is the type that drys out and goes hard and then softens with warm water. It is a beautiful soft sponge which the girls enjoyed using themselves.

All in all I would recommend the Boots baby sensitive bath range and will happily purchase the products again for my family.

Here is what Boots say about the range -
Newborn skin is especially delicate and can be prone to sensitivity and dryness. The Boots Baby Sensitive range has been developed by Boots Baby skincare experts in consultation with a leading dermatologist, to produce the mildest and gentlest product for your baby's skin. There are some great value products in the range which help to prevent irritation before bed time. Each product will help to leave skin soft and smooth, and is suitable for all sensitive and dry skin conditions. The products are specially formulated to be 100% colour and fragrance-free, hypo-allegenic and dermatologically tested.

Ohh just received an email to say that Boots are offering 3 for 2 on thousands of baby products from 4th April to 3rd May so an even better reason to buy!

This is a review post.  I was sent 4 items from the range to review and use. I have reported honestly how I found the products and have not been instructed what to write.

Honest Mummy Recommends K Shoes & Boots

I have an admission for you, you probably do not even want to know this....  but you know what they say, it is good to share!  I have horrid feet, the are big and wide, the nails are not nice and they get very pongy!  (ohh my, why am I putting this out there? lets call it therapy!) Also, I don't know if it is because I am overweight but my feet get really achy, I can not wear gorgeous hooker heels, I have to be sensible and in the past often sensible has meant lack of style, cost the earth and boring, but not so anymore...

I have found some shoes and boots which make the world of difference to me.  It is those made by K shoes from Clarks.  Yes, you know the ones, the ones your Grandma used to buy, complete with velcro fastening fronts but it is not all like that anymore.  They still do the granny shoes but nowadays they also do a great range of comfy but stylish shoes for younger women, like me!  Yay


Those are my gorgeous boots that I bought in the January sales.  They originally retailed at £89.99 and I got them for £59 which I was very pleased with for soft leather knee high boots. Just look at that soft fleecy interior, I kid you not, these are a dream to wear.

The thing that is superb (for me) about K shoes is that they come in E and EE fit, so that is wide and extra wide to the uninitiated. Also, I have heard many of my larger friends moaning that knee high boots do not fit round their calves when they buy them in standard ladies shoe shops, but it seems that as K boots are made for wide fit they take this into account as the size around my calf is very roomy.

I am super happy with my K boots and I also had some ballet pumps and court shoes for work as well, so I am completely happy to recommend these.

As this is a recommendation post, I was not asked or paid to write this post.  I just like to pass on my good finds.
