The body/hair wash smells great and my son's skin is so much softer after using the oil before bed. He had quite dry skin on his legs that has noticeably improved.

1. What is that you liked the most about the Burt’s Bees Baby products?

They're gentle, natural and it's the best smelling baby product out there!

1. What is important to you when choosing a baby product?

I always like to make sure that baby products will be gentle and have no nasty ingredients. My son's skin gets dry quickly but it's also sensitive so I want something that will soothe and moisturise without causing any reaction.

1. Do you think the Burt’s Bees Baby range is gentle and effective? Why?

Yes - I was happy with the ingredient list and that it's plant based and paraben free. It's worked well on my son's skin without any reaction despite his sensitive skin.

Absolutely - we will continue to use this range!

1. Would you consider buying Burt’s Bees Baby products in the future?

Yes definitely - we have also just bought a pack for a friends new baby too! We love the products and will definitely recommend.

1. What do you think about the performance of these 3 products now that you have tried them? Do you think your child’s skin condition improved?

Definitely, my baby has always has sensitive skin and alot of bath products have made him flare up more.

1. What is that you liked the most about the Burt’s Bees Baby products?

They smell amazing, and they're so natural, it really worked for sensitive skin.

1. What is important to you when choosing a baby product?

That it works for my baby and me, it fits in with my routine and is good for my baby's skin

1. Do you think the Burt’s Bees Baby range is gentle and effective? Why?

I think because the products are so natural, that makes it gentle and obviously as its gentle it's effective.

1. Do you trust the Burt’s Bees Baby range for use on your baby? Why?

Again because it's so natural is the reason I trust it.

1. Would you consider buying Burt’s Bees Baby products in the future

Yes I would, I'm not a huge fan of baby oil so probably wouldn't buy that, but the rest of the range I definitely would

1. What do you think about the performance of these 3 products now that you have tried them? Do you think your child’s skin condition improved?

They definitely made a difference where my child's skin was rough and dry

1. What is that you liked the most about the Burt’s Bees Baby products?

The packaging and the aroma

1. What is important to you when choosing a baby product?

Something Natural and not harsh, not tested on animals and is a reasonable price, bearing in mind many new parents are dealing with reduced income with parental leave!

1. Do you think the Burt’s Bees Baby range is gentle and effective? Why?

I think its gentle but i still feel that there are too many ingredients for it to be truly effective for children with really sensitive skin. Less is more, people, less is more!

1. Do you trust the Burt’s Bees Baby range for use on your baby? Why?

I trust the range for use on my baby but wouldn't use it regularly as I feel that they don’t need to be bombarded with products every day. The skin and hair mostly do their own job of cleansing themselves and water is plenty for delicate baby skin.

1. Would you consider buying Burt’s Bees Baby products in the future?

Yes, because I particularly LOVE the baby oil smell

I really loved the Burts Bees products and what I liked the most was the piece of mind that they were more natural and don't contain nasty chemicals and also they made my LO's skin softer. I saw a small improvement in his skin condition but would need to try it for longer to see if it helps further.
I think the most important thing when choosing baby products is being able to trust that the product will be skin kind and the Burts Bees range certainly ticks this box. The range was very gentle and didn't irritate LO's skin and it left it lovely and soft, it was effective at cleaning too.
I would definitely continue to use these products and recommend to other mums and dads too.

Thank you everyone for taking part. The prize draw winner is @hypatiently**. Congratulations! :)

We absolutely adored this range so huge thank you for letting us test it.

1. I liked the performance of the three products. My 11 month old had happy rash and the ointment cleared it up. Both boys loved the baby oil and they smelt amazing and their skin was soft and the shampoo made their hair lovely and fluffy!

1. I most liked the smell of the products as they smelt like honey and lemon. I liked how luxurious they felt too.

1. It is important that it doesn't irritate their skin and smells nice. It did the job on both accounts.

4 it does feel like a gentle range. I tried it on both of my children and they didn't react. It cleared up nappy rash and made their hair feel clean and soft.

1. Yes, I trust it. I've used the adult products for years and they always give good results.

6.yes will be buying more! My 2 year old has been asking for honey when we're in the bath as he loves the feel of it.
