About.com recently featured Aden +Anais’ new Mum + Bub skincare products. These products are part of the 2012 Aden + Anais collection and feature three items: Ultra Gentle Lotion, Hair and Body Wash, and a Soothing Ointment.  These products make a nice new baby shower gift. The products are large enough that you can make them last a very long time, this is largely due to the quality of the products. All of these products are free of: phytoestrogen, paragons, added hormone disrupters, petroleum oils, phthalates, dioxanes from sulfates, gluten, soy, petrochemicals, DEA, and artificial colors.

One of our favorite products from Aden and Anais’ new skincare line is the Mum+Bub ointment..  It’s gentle, and has only a hint of light vanilla. It can be used for cracked skin, irritations, chapped lips and much more.

Each product is made with Teflon® which makes it easier to keep the bags looking fresh and clean.
