Welstar Organic Care Products (Contest Details at the End!)

If you can believe it, I have baskets full of brand-new, never opened bath and body products.  I still haven’t figured out what I should do with them since they’re full of parabens and phthalates.  I can’t in good conscience give them to someone or throw them away (can you imagine my carbon footprint?). For now, they’ve taken up permanent residence under my bathroom sink while I peruse Whole Foods and the net for the best in organic skin care products.

I was recently introduced to Welstar Organic Care Products, a company with a fabulous line of skin care products for moms and babes. Welstar was created by Mahara, a mom with a background in alternative healing, visual arts, nursing, and art therapy.   Mahara has combined her experience in alternative treatments and her advanced training to create a line of healing products designed to bring wholeness to both the body and the soul.

I was sent a fabulous package from the company’s Body Care and Mother & Child lines, which included the following:  Clearly Soft Gel Cleanser, Shea Butter Body Milk Glow-On Radiant Hydration, Deeply Heaven Cape Cod Bath Salts, Wishing Star sleep time cream, and Naked Baby Oil.

I appreciate the company’s use of natural ingredients including natural preservatives.  I always strive to purchase skin care products that don’t contain parabens, phthalates, etc but in the past I have not had the most favorable results.  In particular, I have had a difficult time finding an all-natural facial cleanser that actually removes my makeup!  The Clearly Soft Gel Cleanser is pH-balanced to provide a gentle facial cleanse.  It is mild but effective.

I love baths (although they’re few and far between these days). I like the lovely, calming scent of the Deeply Heaven Cape Cod Bath Salts.  Follow it up with the Shea Butter Body Milk.  This moisturizer hydrates and protects your skin.  It goes on lightly and doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy.  If you want an all-over body treatment that will moisturize, nourish, and protect your skin, try the Glow-On All Purpose Body Moisturizer.  Overall,  the entire line of skin care products is gentle and effective.

As a mom, I appreciate Welstar’s Mother & Child line of products that are safe!  One of my favorite products is the Wishing Star sleep time cream.  This cream is a blend of calendula cream and essential oils to help babies, children, and mommies sleep. I tried it on my son and myself and LOVED it!  The Naked Baby Oil is wonderful for my son’s chronic diaper rashes, cradle cap, and dry skin, or as an alternative to moisturizers.

Welstar carries a wide variety of organic care products in the following categories: Body Care, Essential Aromatics, Facial Care, Hair & Nail Care, Herbal Remedies, Men, Mother and Child, and Outdoor Essentials. If you  order in December you’ll receive free shipping.
