Awesome stuff! Worth the price!
My daughter had some irritation because she is breastfed and poops more often so that combined with frequent wipings made her bum a little irritated. I tried other brands and they didn't help much at all and almost all of them contain fish oil or mineral oils. Burts is all natural and it works! I noticed the irritation going away after the first application. We now use it at every change to prevent future irritation.

sun screen
Our dermatologist recommended this sun screen as the best protection and it works very well. It seems to be great protection we have never had a sun burn. There is a big downside though: it is very difficult to apply and we always struggle with our toddler when we put it on him. It takes a long time until the white film is smeared in and we always have white marks on clothes the stroller bags etc... It also leaves a shiny film on the face (and causes greasy hair around the face) so I would not recommend it for adults who mind this...

It did not work so well for my baby
i started using this lotion on my 15 month because of reviews i read about it. First of all i loved the smell absorbs easily into the skin..my babys skin was not oily after application his skin looked soo radiant and smooth he looked fresh after hours of application.But after a weeki noticed he developed rashes at his backand on his face. it was not severe but it never occured with the his previous lotion. His old lotion is too oily and fragrant free but it worked well with his eczema and irritations. He never suffered from any kind of rash or flare up wen i used it. i thought this lotion was supposed to heal irritations but it did not seem to work. i loved it with the smell and all but it just does not work with irritations on my babys skin.

Good sun protection but thick white texture
I bought this sunscreen after reading about its improved protection against both UV A and UV B.
I have no complaints about the sun protection - it seems to work though of course a true test of protection is long-term sun damage avoidance and not from a few days' use.
But I dont like the texture of the cream. First it is not a lotion but a cream. By which I mean its semi-solid and does not blend well on the face. I tried using a lotion moisturizer blended with this sunscreen to make it blend better but its not easy.
Second the sunscreen is very whitish and looks that way even after applying very little of it. So if you are somewhat tanned and apply this cream it will show up in whitish streaks on your face that do not sink in.
I also tried applying mineral makeup on top of this to reduce the white-out look but the camouflage does not work too well.
Third the sunscreen is not marked as 'non-comedogenic (does not block pores) so that might be an important factor for you to consider if you tend to have large pores whiteheads or blackheads.
Summary: if you are going to spend a long time in the sun and want a high performance sunscreen use this one. If you want something more mild for daily use try out the SPF 15 version of this same brand or look elsewhere.

I LOVE California Baby!
This is the only thing I use on my 15-month-old daughter who has eczema. I love that I can trust California Baby and not have to worry about harsh chemicals that are in other larger brands of baby products. I even use this on myself as face wash occasionally and it works great!

The best nursing pads available
As a nursing mother I have tried many brands of nursing pads and found what I was looking for in the Johnson & Johnson brand. Unlike Medela or Lansinoh these pads are a little smaller in circumference and do not bunch up inside your bra. They are very soft and absorbent wicking moisture or leakage into the center of the pad and leaving your skin dry and thus healthy. You can typically expect to pay $6 or $7 for a month's supply (60 pads) and you don't have to deal with unwrapping each individual pad as you must with other brands. I've seen other reviewers claim that this is unsanitary but I beg to differ. If you keep the pads face down in the box with the lid closed you need not worry about them becoming "contaminated." Besides you are not putting these on an open wound they serve merely as a vehicle to prevent you from embarrassing leaks. Each pad also comes with an adhesive strip on the back though I have never found occasion to use them. They are convex in shape for a perfect fit and because of an indention that allows space for the nipple there is no uncomfortable "pressing" or shifting around. They simply stay in place even without using the adhesive.
If you are planning to nurse for a long period of time these are the best product for your buck. I use nothing else and could not recommend them more highly.

The best for kids when they're playing in the water!
Talk about sun protection! I had my three year old and my 1.5 year old twins at the swimming pool this summer applied this 30 minutes before exposure had them out there for three hours in 80+ degree heat swimming and NO SUNBURNS. You don't need to apply it so liberally the skin stays white just put enough on to cover -- a little bit goes a VERY long way. (If your skin stays white and you can't rub it in you've applied way too much.) You'll see some white on the skin again when they get wet but it goes away. Any that is left on my hands after applying to the kids I put on my own face. Very water resistant and has super protection. Wonderful stuff it's safe smells good and I never have any trouble washing it off. Again... a little bit goes a long way. It's the best out there!

best all around value
This is the second year I've used this sunscreen since it was rated in the top ten in EWG testing last year. I see it's down to #20 this year (out of 469 tested!) but the competition has really heated up for nontoxic effective sunscreens. I burn easily and have never gotten a burn while using it and on occasion that has meant going out in direct summer sun all day long.
I'm giving it 4 stars rather than 5 because it does take a bit of effort to apply. I find it's important to squeeze out just enough to coat. If I get it on too thickly it can be tricky to spread or remove some so there's not a thick white coating. That being said it's not really not that difficult.
Considering that the price is about half of the comparable highly rated sunscreens it's a great value and it's the only sunscreen I use.

Absolutely the BEST!
I've never been a fan of sunscreens with multiple strange chemicals that make me feel so nasty I'd rather be burned. Luckily I found Loving Naturals which not only works brilliantly but feels better on my skin than a massage from a supermodel...ha! The customer service from Loving Naturals is spectacular the product amazing and I feel great knowing my family is using the best.
