Oh yes missmuddle - I remember a product (can't remember many details) from when I was young that smelled of purple grapes, i loved it! If there was a purple grape fragrance then I would definitely buy it!!

JimbosJetSet · 20/01/2012 20:30
  1. Packaging looked good, as Halo n Horns stuff always does. Pump would be handy so you can use it one handed, but easy to open/use.
  2. DD is 17 months so expressed no strong opinions, seemed happy enough with it though.
  3. After using it as a '3 in 1,' I have decided I prefer separate products - the H&H baby bubble bath gives more satisfactory bubbles, and the berry shampoo makes her hair softer and more manageable. I don't use a body wash. However, it would be a handy product to take on holiday, if it came in a travel size. Easy to use and guess the right amount though.
  4. The smell was nice, not 'zingy,' but not as sickly as I thought it might be (the berry shampoo is a bit sweet IMO). It was a pleasant subtle smell.
  5. The packaging looks good, but would be easier to use if it came with a pump. I'd like to be able to buy it in a travel size too.
  6. I will certainly use the rest of this bottle, but I don't think I'll buy it again - I'll stick to using a separate shampoo and bubble bath.
  7. I don't think I would recommend it, it is a nice smelling product that does the job and I like the brand, but it's not as good as the other H n H products I have tried.
wonderwooman · 20/01/2012 20:33

Right, here goes. I have used the product for the last few nights on my 2 DCs (ages 6, 4 and 2).

  1. We all liked the packaging - my 6 year old was most interested in the halo & horns idea/pictures. It's a similar squeezy tube to our usual bath wash (the Weleda Calendula wash), so it was familiar to all DCs, who are all able to open the cap and squueze (maybe too easy for my 2 year old who loves to squeeze!!!).
  1. All DCs like the product. It was thick enough to not drip off their hands between squeezing and washing. They find it fun to squeeze directly into the bath to make some bubbles. There were no complaints!!
  1. Easy to use. Hair washing went trouble-free, lathered nicely and rinsed well.
  1. The DCs liked the fragrance. If I'm totally honest, I was expecting a more 'natural' smell from what's meant to be a natural product. It made me double-check the ingredients for fake scents... I always really like lavender/rosemary/herbal scents in body washes.
  1. I think it's fine for children. I do think the halos/horns idea is geared slightly more towards older DCs though.
  1. I would use it again, because it provides what I'm looking for (a natural product) at an affordable price. I am slightly aware/suspicious of the non-natural (strong) smell, so if I had DCs with particularly sensitive skin then I would NOT buy it. But there were no adverse reactions with my DCs, so I would continue to use it.
  1. Yes, I would recommend it.
ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 20/01/2012 20:38

Q1 First impressions: Nice design on the packaging. Good sized tube.
Q2 ds's are 3 and 9 months, bath products do not rock their world!
Q3 performance was fine, much the same as most other bathing products. I like the fact that it doesn't foam up. We probably used too much to start with, probably something to do with our water softener maybe?
Q4 great fragrance, it makes a change to have a fresh fragrance.
Q5 the corners on the top of the tube are quite sharp - not that it deterred ds (9 months) from chewing it. Maybe the tube could be more ergonomically shaped? this would stop it slipping out the hand quite so easily.
Q6 yes, but it would depend on the price.
Q7 yes I would. But again my decision would be based on the price.

Thank you for giving us the chance to test the product Smile

peggyblackett · 20/01/2012 20:38
  1. The packaging is OK, although I agree with other posters that a pump dispenser would be preferable. DS likes to flip the lid open with this sort of packaging - something that he can't do with a pump thankfully.
  1. DS (aged 1) sniffed the wash, and seemed to be quite impressed. He said 'niiiiicce'!
  1. I found the product to be quite runny, a slightly thicker consistency would be good. The product was difficult to lather, which I suspect is to do with it being SLES free - however competitor products with similar claims (i.e. SLES/ paraben free) produce more foam IMO. I definitely preferred it as a body wash - as a hair wash I think that it would only cope with fine, baby hair. I did test it on dd's hair (dd aged 7), and it really didn't cut it to be honest.
  1. I really liked the fragrance, but I wouldn't describe it as zingy orange. It's pleasant, but I would really like it to have a more citrussy smell. In terms of fragrances I would like to see I think tangerine, lemon, lime, raspberry or grapefruit would be nice. I'm also a big fan of lavender body washes for children.
  1. Change of packaging to a pump dispenser. Better lather/ bubbles. Stronger fragrance.
  1. It would depend on the RRP. At present I use an organic product that is on the pricey side but it does lather really well and has a strong but pleasant smell to it. I would need H'n'H to be considerably cheaper or to be an improved product before I'd want to switch.
  1. Yes, I would, providing that I considered it to be good value for money. I'm a fan of SLES/paraben free products in general, so if it was reasonably priced compared to the market leaders containing parabens then I would definitely recommend it.

Thank you for the opportunity to test Halo'n'Horns!

brookeslay · 20/01/2012 20:39

Question 1: I was suprised at how big the tube was ! I was glad that it wasn`t a feeble size and therefore cost effective.

Question 2 :my son went Wow . good sinn and wanted to smell it he thought it smelt yummy and liked the hand.

Question 3 i did try to make it bubble due to the low sls level that was hard going . I washed his hair I think I was too generous and it took a while to wash out but added some body to my sons fine hair.

Question 4 : I thought it had a lovely fragrance not too synthetic and the lingering smell was not overpowering. I like cirtus smells not mango or banana.

Question 5: i would like a smaller hole as sometimes it came out too quickly therefore causing waste. i would like travel mini sizes too please.

Question 6 Yes I would I want to try a conditioner if the range makes them.

Question 7

Yes as I would tell them it was kind to eyes and my son was a happy bather ! and hair washing was easier a boon to any mum !

brookeslay · 20/01/2012 20:39

and a big thanks :)

myhandslooksoold · 20/01/2012 20:58

Q1.My first impressions were really positive- I liked the look of the bottle, the typeface of the product. It was really clear what it was for- I liked the fact that it had 'kids' on the bottle, not 'baby' as at the moment I tend to use babywash on them as I find it to be more gentle. Comparing it to other products, I'd say it was more aimed towards kids rather than babies.

Q2. My DS (5) is obsessed with the colour orange so the colour of the lettering appealed to him. It looked good fun for kids to use. All of the children (ages 7,5 and 1) were happy with it. The 7 and 5 year old were able to use it themselves and that made them happy as they like to be independent.

Q3. I think the product performed really well, I liked the level of foam, the amount that came out of the bottle with an ordinary strength squeeze. The children felt fresh and looked clean. I also washed their hair with it. It performed well on the 5 and 1 year old as they have very short 'baby' hair. However, it wasn't so good on the 7 year old as her hair is longer and thicker, so it was quite tangled after shampooing. It was fine after using conditioner though. I feel it's really important to use mild products on the children as the oldest has exzema. I don't really want to use seperate products on her as I can't be bothered with lots of different bottles of stuff, and also the children share baths quite often. The product ethos of Halos N Horns really appeals to me and I feel good about the fact that the children are getting clean without being overly harsh on their skin.

Q4. I liked the fragrance, but felt it was quite subtle. Not really very zingy and also very similar to other Halos N Horns products. Having said that, I'm not bothered it wasn't very strong if it meant that less additives were added. The fact that the kids thought it was orange-y was more important than the actual orangey-ness of it (IYSWIM!?) I would love to see an almondy/marzipan fragrance- don't think the children would be bothered about that though.

Q5 and Q6. I don't think there's anything that could be improved with this product, I really liked it, as did the children. I currently use the baby wash from Halos N Horns on all the DC's and this is definitely a more appropriate product to use on them, and will be looking for this in the supermarket aisle (Tesco if you're interested)

Q7. I would really recommend the product to others. I also used it on myself after swimming and thought it was great. In fact, in the showers at the swimming pool I noticed 3 different varieties of H N H in use (the baby one, the orange one and a pink one!). The lady who had the pink one said it was a detangling one so that would be good to use on a girl who has longer hair.

Thanks for letting us test!

BeanutPutter · 20/01/2012 21:04

Q1. What were your fist impressions of the product? What did you like? Was there anything you didn't like? How did it compare with other products you've tried?

*DD really liked it. Even though it was specifically for DS. She was insistent on washing him to make sure she didn't miss out, I was obviously fine with this. :)

We use a range of smelly fun products. It is not as bubbly as Matey or as scented as some other products but both DCs liked the tube and smell.*

Q2. How about your DC - was there anything they liked or disliked about the product (if they're not old enough to tell you what they thought, then your interpretation of their opinion is fine!)? Would you say it made bath time more fun at all? If so, why? If not, why not?

i didn't feel that bath time was more fun but it was easier in terms of hair washing.

Q3. Overall, how did the product perform? Did it clean your child well? Was it easy to use or not? Did you find you used about the right amount to start with or did it take a few goes to get this right?

This smelt lovely. I liked the way it cleansed both hair and skin. It was originally squeezed too hard but I just wiped the excess on a flannel.

Q4. What did you think of the fragrance? Can you think of any other fragrances that you'd like Halos N Horns to use?

It was a hit here on smell. We also like cherry, mint, vanilla and lemon.

Q5. Is there anything about the product and/or its packaging that you think could be improved? If so, what and how?

It was a great product.

Q6. Do you think you'd use this product again? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes, we will be buying in he future.

Q7. If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend Halos N Horns Zingy Orange Hair & Body Wash to your friends who have children? If so, why? If not, why not?

Sure. I liked how it cleaned hair without fuss. No stinging or protracted moaning about bubbles in eyes.

ReelAroundTheFountain · 20/01/2012 21:06

Q1. I liked the packaging a lot, esp the idea of 'zingy orange'. Though my first reaction was to smell the product I was disappointed that it wasn't as zingy as I was expecting. If I'd seen and smelt this in a shop I would not have bought it. I did like the fact that it was not babyish/character-based/knit-your-own-yogurt organic.

Q2. ds2 (3.6) was excited and liked squeezing it into the bath. It was more fun but probably only because it was new and arrived in the post.

Q3. It lathered really well with soft bubbles. It did clean the dc's well and their hair smelt lovely. I found it easy to manage the amount due to the packaging.

Q4. I thought that it did smell a bit orange-y but not 'zingy'. My dh thought it was quite chemically too.
Love the idea of mint/lime/melon/apple - basically fruity but not really sweet.

Q5. Pump top would be handy, other than that it was great.

Q6. Probably not this one but I would look at other products in the range if the smell was more appealing. I do like the idea of a product that washes body and hair and is made with decent ingredients.

Q7. I would recommend the product but warn about the smell - I would especially mention it to friends with dc's with sensitive skin (which my dc's don't have)

Thank you for the trial!

lankyesme · 20/01/2012 21:21

Q3. Overall, how did the product perform? Did it clean your child well? Was it easy to use or not? Did you find you used about the right amount to start with or did it take a few goes to get this right? Only needed a small amount and didn't cause either childs e+2ema tyo flare

NannyPlumIsMyMum · 20/01/2012 21:37

I like the fact that the bottle is easy to squeeze ( I have arthritis in my hands).
I like that it is relatively free of chemical ' nasties'.
I don't think the fragrance is particularly appealing , but I don't like heavily scented products for my children anyway.
It does not lather up very well but my daughters hair ( she has lots of curls ) and so I needed quite a lot of the product for her hair and I did not find it moisturising enough for her .
It was fine for my sons hair.
My children enjoyed the fact that they could use it on their body and their hair.
I would use it as a body wash again as it is gentle on the skin, however I would not use it as a shampoo.
Yes I probably will buy it again ( I have bought it before ) and I will probably recommend it to my sister for my very young nephew.

Jcee · 20/01/2012 21:41
  1. Liked the packaging - didn't look like it was aimed at kids like some stuff - and liked the look and smell of the product

  2. DD was excited at having new soap and liked the squeezy tube and the fact she could easily open the lid

  3. it worked well and was ok for DDs sensitive skin - some others are very drying - although initially I was a little surprised at how little it lathered up so we used a bit too much to start with. I found it quite runny too so once DD had hold of the tube, it was applied liberally everywhere

  4. I was a bit disappointed with the fragrance as the name gave me the impression it would be a lot zing-ier with a stronger more orangey scent. DD loved it though and when I asked her about the scent she said "mm mmm"

As for other flavours - more fruity ones like lime or lemon please, DD suggested cake flavour Hmm

  1. The squeezey tube, fliptop lid and runny consistency were a bit of a nightmare. A pump dispenser as others have mentioned would be much easier - i found it hard to close the top and stand it back up without spillage when I had it on my hands ready to hair wash

  2. yes as its a nice and mild and didnt aggravate DDs sensitive skin but depends on cost and availability - haven't seen this brand anywhere before

  3. yes

Thanks for choosing me for this survey

Woodlands · 20/01/2012 22:09

Q1. What were your first impressions of the product? What did you like? Was there anything you didn't like? How did it compare with other products you've tried?
I was a bit disappointed with the smell (see Q4). I liked the way it washed my son.

Q2. How about your DC - was there anything they liked or disliked about the product (if they're not old enough to tell you what they thought, then your interpretation of their opinion is fine!)? Would you say it made bath time more fun at all? If so, why? If not, why not?
My DS is only 18 months so not terribly interested in bath products. At this age I don't think he'd notice what I used.

Q3. Overall, how did the product perform? Did it clean your child well? Was it easy to use or not? Did you find you used about the right amount to start with or did it take a few goes to get this right?
It cleaned some stubborn mud and baked bean juice off my child well. I think I used the right amount - it was good I only had to use a small amount.

Q4. What did you think of the fragrance? Can you think of any other fragrances that you'd like Halos N Horns to use?
I liked the smell, but I didn't think it smelt even slightly of oranges, let alone zingy oranges. I loved the smell of my DS's hair after I washed it with it, but oranges didn't come into it. It smelt of generic baby shampoo.

Q5. Is there anything about the product and/or its packaging that you think could be improved? If so, what and how?
I like the Halos and Horns brand, though I thought the packaging was possibly a little busy. I liked the product but I don't think it should be called Zingy Orange as I was disappointed when it didn't smell of this.

Q6. Do you think you'd use this product again? If so, why? If not, why not?
Maybe.

Q7. If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend Halos N Horns Zingy Orange Hair & Body Wash to your friends who have children? If so, why? If not, why not?
Possibly, as a nice pure product without SLS etc in, but not for the smell!

ChristmasDonkey · 20/01/2012 22:12

Q1. Nice and simple packaging. Easy to squirt product out and only needed a small amount.

Q2. My DD (6) said erm I'm not a devil, as she read it from package. She loved the smell, DD2 (2) wasn't bothered either way but was happy to be using it. We did like laughing about being an angel or a devil.

Q3. Children were cleaned well and soaped up well on skin. Easy to use right amount one handed.

Q4. I didn't rate the scent, it didn't seem very orangy. DD1 did tho.

Q5. Stronger scent, but then that kind of detracts from the idea of a simple and gentle product.

Q6. I would as DD1 has very delicate skin, it worked well and made her skin soft.

Q7. I deffo would, we all loved it!

  1. Nice packaging and a decent sized bottle. I like that it is chemical free and can be used on body and hair.
  1. My 2 year old liked the smell.
  1. It cleans very well and left my daughters skin nice and soft. Very easy to use and you don't need a lot.
  1. I liked the smell but I didn't think it was very "zingy orange". It was a bit different though as I normally buy strawberry scented washes. I also love coconut so would like this as a wash / shampoo.
  1. I didn't dislike anything about the packaging.
  1. Yes because my dd has quite sensitive skin and this worked well for her.
  1. Yes.

Q1. What were your first impressions of the product? What did you like? Was there anything you didn't like? How did it compare with other products you've tried?

Looks good - packaging looks "clean". The white packaging makes you think that it isn't going to be full of chemicals.

Q2. How about your DC - was there anything they liked or disliked about the product (if they're not old enough to tell you what they thought, then your interpretation of their opinion is fine!)? Would you say it made bath time more fun at all? If so, why? If not, why not?

they liked the smell - and there were no tears when it went in their eyes due to stinging (though there were general "I don't want my hair washed" tears!)

Q3. Overall, how did the product perform? Did it clean your child well? Was it easy to use or not? Did you find you used about the right amount to start with or did it take a few goes to get this right?

didn't find I needed much to wash the dc

Q4. What did you think of the fragrance? Can you think of any other fragrances that you'd like Halos N Horns to use?

I love the fragrance. My husband will also use it and he hates any fruity smell. Maybe some sort of lavender, rose or vanilla type smell - anything that smells natural - and not too fruity

However it isn't really zingy (though I wouldn't want it to be)

Q5. Is there anything about the product and/or its packaging that you think could be improved? If so, what and how?

nothing I would change!

Q6. Do you think you'd use this product again? If so, why? If not, why not?

yes - would use again

Q7. If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend Halos N Horns Zingy Orange Hair & Body Wash to your friends who have children? If so, why? If not, why not?

yes - for anyone with sensitive skinned children it was great

Would love it if there was a matching body lotion/cream for children too - and a non-fruity/mint version of your toothpaste as it is hard to find a children's version of sls free toothpaste

johnworf · 21/01/2012 08:40

Q1. What were your fist impressions of the product? What did you like? Was there anything you didn't like? How did it compare with other products you've tried?

Simple packaging. 'Clean' looking (think this was because of the white tube). Zingy is a great name and is very appealing. I've seen this product on the shelves in the supermarket and it really does stand out from the rest of the 'pastel' coloured baby products.

Q2. How about your DC - was there anything they liked or disliked about the product (if they're not old enough to tell you what they thought, then your interpretation of their opinion is fine!)? Would you say it made bath time more fun at all? If so, why? If not, why not?

It smelt so orangey she thought she could eat it! Eek. Otherwise she enjoyed the smell in the bath. She certainly looked as though she was enjoying it when she was in the bath.

Q3. Overall, how did the product perform? Did it clean your child well? Was it easy to use or not? Did you find you used about the right amount to start with or did it take a few goes to get this right?

I did have to experiment to get the right amount in the water. A pump top version might be an idea. As for cleaning, it more than did the job. I didn't think it lathered up as well as other products. Also it didn't produce as many bubbles as other products.

Q4. What did you think of the fragrance? Can you think of any other fragrances that you'd like Halos N Horns to use?

Fragrance was spot on and as I said, my DD thought it was food! I'd love some more fruit fragrances and also some bedtime frangrances that promote relaxation. Also some fragrance free ones for sensitive skins.

Q5. Is there anything about the product and/or its packaging that you think could be improved? If so, what and how?

Promote it being SLS free more. I'm sure that more people would buy this product if they understood what SLS is. Also as I've mentioned, pump top dispenser and sensitive/fragrance free versions.

Q6. Do you think you'd use this product again? If so, why? If not, why not?

Most definitely use it again.

Q7. If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend Halos N Horns Zingy Orange Hair & Body Wash to your friends who have children? If so, why? If not, why not?

It has already been recommended to me when I've mentioned I'm trying this product out. I would certainly recommend to other people.

BlastOff · 21/01/2012 09:02

Q1. Reasonable sized tube, usual product has pump dispenser as less likely to result in three year old squirting it out everywhere if he gets hold of it, and easier to use. I was pleased to see it was hypo-allergenic and fairly free of chemicals. Attractive packaging.

Q2. I made a big fuss of it being a special thing for 3 yo and as a result he was excited - not sure it was because of the product per se or not though! He liked the picture of the hand print. He was inquisitive about the halo and horn pictures. Tbh I wasn't keen on having the 'what is a devil' conversation so actually not that keen on that aspect. Hadn't thought of this before.

Q3. Came out of the tube fine. Washed hair really well, and we had one of the easiest hair washes for ages. It's fine on skin, but is quite gloopy compared to the product we usually use, (little ones hair and body wash in a pump dispenser), but was easy enough to wash off the skin and he felt clean after. It wasn't too drying which is important as he has mild eczema.

Q4. Like others, I wouldn't call it 'zingy', but it was pleasant and smelt of oranges to us. Other suggestions include apple, strawberry. I quite like fruity smells for children's products, rather than 'herby' smells.

Q5. I do like pump dispensers for reasons above, but I wouldn't not buy something just because it didn't have a pump dispenser.

Q6. If it was on offer or if the price is competitive I will buy it. I like it not having lots of chemicals in it, I liked the smell, and it worked well. I don't know how much it costs, but I probably wouldn't buy it if it's much more expensive than my usual product. If my son's skin continues to be as soft as it appears to be after the few washes he has had with it however, I might reconsider this.

Q7. Yes I might suggest it as a hypo-allergenic, chemical-free option with a pleasant smell. Is on my radar now anyway, which is wasn't really before.

TheFeministWife · 21/01/2012 09:37

Q1. What were your fist impressions of the product? What did you like? Was there anything you didn't like? How did it compare with other products you've tried?
I don't like the girl angel/boy devil connotation...tis the reason I never buy clothes from nextGrinHmm. Halos and Horns is a catchy probably will sell name, but one I would actively avoid. The packaging was nice, the colour of the product was nice and it smelled like Matey's Bubble bath.

Q2. How about your DC - was there anything they liked or disliked about the product (if they're not old enough to tell you what they thought, then your interpretation of their opinion is fine!)? Would you say it made bath time more fun at all? If so, why? If not, why not?
They loved the multi usage, and that they could squeeze it themselves. But it had no huge positive reaction, unlike other products that either smell really lovely or have an element of fun (glitter, foam, etc)

Q3. Overall, how did the product perform? Did it clean your child well? Was it easy to use or not? Did you find you used about the right amount to start with or did it take a few goes to get this right?
I used a little and it went a long way.

Q4. What did you think of the fragrance? Can you think of any other fragrances that you'd like Halos N Horns to use?
Fruit, that you can detect, is always a winner in this house.

Q5. Is there anything about the product and/or its packaging that you think could be improved? If so, what and how?
Like I said in answer Q1 I loathe boys devils/girls angels.

Q6. Do you think you'd use this product again? If so, why? If not, why not?
No, for reasons above. Unless it was very very cheap.

Q7. If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend Halos N Horns Zingy Orange Hair & Body Wash to your friends who have children? If so, why? If not, why not?
No, nothing unusual or remarkable about it.

I liked under product but the dc didn't react much- the packaging didn't have much wow factor. I liked the consistency of it and it washed the dc well but it did feel a little sticky. A little went a long way, which I liked.
The only negative thing I have is the overall shape- I'd rather have a bottle shape rather than a tube but that's maybe just me!
Overall I would use it again and recommend to others

  1. I really liked it - the packaging was nice and appealing. The tube is a great size if you're going on holiday. It is brighter and more fun looking than the product I normally use (Infacare)
  1. DD1 (4) said, wow! I love the smell. DD2 (22 months) didn't really give it much attention. I don't think it particularly makes bath time more fun, but it's nice having a nice smelling bath wash for them, knowing that it's not full of chemicals.
  1. The product performed well imo - considering there are no foaming agents, it actually produced enough bubbles for the girls to blow from their hands (not as much as our usual one admittedly). I have so far washed DD2's hair with it - a little did seem to go a long way.
  1. I really liked the fragrance, as did DD1. It isn't particularly 'zingy' but it's fresh and fruity and actually quite mild and inoffensive.
  1. Not really. I guess a choice in sizes would be good.
  1. Yes, I think I would use the product again, depending on price.
  1. If it came up in conversation, I would probably mention it and say it was nice.

Thank you for giving us the chance to test this Smile

Questions

Q1. What were your fist impressions of the product? What did you like? Was there anything you didn't like? How did it compare with other products you've tried?
I liked the design of it, I feel it is better in a squeeze tube than a bottle as you feel you can squeeze every bit out.

Q2. How about your DC - was there anything they liked or disliked about the product (if they're not old enough to tell you what they thought, then your interpretation of their opinion is fine!)? Would you say it made bath time more fun at all? If so, why? If not, why not?

Kids loved it. They love oranges and were quite excited to use it. It was fun whilst it lasted, in that as soon as they finished washing with it bubbles then won the day.

Q3. Overall, how did the product perform? Did it clean your child well? Was it easy to use or not? Did you find you used about the right amount to start with or did it take a few goes to get this right?

I didn't use enough the first time, it didn't froth took much so made me feel I hadn't used enough...but maybe I did? It certainly got them both clean.

Q4. What did you think of the fragrance? Can you think of any other fragrances that you'd like Halos N Horns to use?

I think the fragrance is quite mild and I like that. I hate products that smell too much, I worry about what's in them!

Q5. Is there anything about the product and/or its packaging that you think could be improved? If so, what and how?

No, I liked it as is.

Q6. Do you think you'd use this product again? If so, why? If not, why not?

I would as I really liked it. I liked the lack of chemicals etc in it.

Q7. If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend Halos N Horns Zingy Orange Hair & Body Wash to your friends who have children? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes I would.....I found that dd who is sensitive to a lot of things was fine with this. I would reccommend it to a lot of people.
