A way to go green that’s good for the little ones.
\nby Todd Richissin, Del Ray Patch<\/p>\n
The dilemma: Baby needs some lotion but lotion gets on baby’s hands and baby likes to put hands in mouth.<\/p>\n
The answer: Greenplicity.<\/p>\n
Greenplicity for children is the brainchild of Shanika McCloud, who started the product line after seeing a need for loving lotions that wouldn’t hurt kids if they ate it, licked it, bit it or decided to spread it on crackers and chomp it down.<\/p>\n
“After realizing that everything I put on my daughter’s skin was going in her mouth, I searched for a product line that would be safe if she ate some of it,” McLoud Says. “Finding none, I decided to create one myself.” <\/p>\n
A Show of Hands in Del Ray carries the product, and it’s available and online from $4.75.<\/p>\n
“It sells itself,” says Pat Miller, an owner of A Show of Hands. “It walks right out the door. It’s one of those things you explain what it is, and they just pick it up and buy it.”<\/p>\n
McLoud uses all-natural, food-grade ingredients so anytime a baby sucks her hands or a thumbsucking toddler needs some lotion love, or a 4-year-old bites her nails to the cuticles, Mom, Dad or whoever can use Greenplicity without fear that it will make the child sick.<\/p>\n
There are two products currently on the market, and a few more that will be released later this year. <\/p>\n
The Lotion Bar is a coco-citrus scented moisturizer designed to soothe and restore skin. The beeswax helps to naturally seal in moisture twice as long as water-based moisturizers keeping the skin moisturized for a longer period of time. It’s also available in a nut-free version.<\/p>\n
The Body Butter is a replenishing lotion that naturally nourishes the skin with a mixture of essential oils blended to soothe and soften at the same time. It’s available in Lavender or Palmarosa scents. <\/p>\n
“Using all-natural, and food-grade ingredients lets me create a safe and gentle product for kid’s skin \u2014 and tummys! \u2014 while being kind to the environment they’ll grow up in,” McLoud says.<\/p>\n
