I entered uncharted territory this week. Our oldest is 8 and she is very active with
gymnastics practice 3.5 hours a day 3 days a week. This past week I noticed that she is now in
need of deodorant (OMG WHAT??). So
knowing all the dangers of aluminum, I did not want to begin putting that into
her body at such a young age. So I went
out and bought her Tom's of Maine all natural deodorant. She is trying it out now, but this morning I read the
reviews and most people say it doesn't work too well. Which I am not that worried about because,
well, she is 8 and how stinky can she get?
But in my research for reviews of Tom’s I came across this
pretty cool website. It is called
Growing Basics www.growingbasics.com and is a line of personal hygiene products for big kids and tweens ages
6-13. The products are all natural and
non-toxic and most importantly for me do not contain aluminum, paraben, alcohol
or sulfates.
They are priced comparatively to the other natural
deodorants out there as well. I just
ordered a twin pack for her to try along with the Tom’s to see which works
better for her, but I really like that the Growing Basics deodorant is created
specifically for kids, while Tom’s is not.
