I first
came across World of Creatures through the BabyCalm FB page. I had a nosey at
their website and knew they’d be on my list of products to try out on the
girls. The fact that I then won one of their products was even better. The
initial competition was to win a Baby Balm Butter but after messaging with World
of Creatures through Facebook about how chuffed I was on winning etc, they obviously
took note that Jess was a toddler because what dropped through my letterbox was
a 220ml pot of Toddler’s Body Mousse and a 50ml Mini Baby’s Body Foam Wash. The
first thing I thought was, “these guys
go the extra mile”. They’d made sure that the products I received were relevant
to Jess. They could have sent me the Baby Balm Butter and I’d still have been a
happy bunny, but instead they sent me something appropriate to my child. I like
that in a company.
Sophia was
at school when the parcel arrived and Jess and I opened the pot of Toddler
Mousse and had a try. We both spent the next few minutes “Oooo-ing” & “Aah-ing”
over the lovely smells escaping from the pot. The word that comes to mind here is
“Lush”. The mousse is creamy and sinks into the skin really easily and doesn’t
leave a greasy film. The skin is left feeling silky and smooth.
Bath time
that evening involved both products and the girls loved using the Baby’s Body
Foam Wash to get themselves clean. In fact I had to really monitor how much
they used as they’d happily have finished the whole bottle in one sitting if I’d
let them. The foam wash is in a great little pump bottle and when put onto wet
skin glides across the body and doesn’t in any way dry out the skin. We used
the toddler mousse afterwards and the girls both smelt delicious. They both gave
the products a big thumbs up, particularly Sophia who is old enough to really
appreciate these things now. They particularly loved the animals on the
packaging, which gives the products a lovely fun edge.
And I
love them too, so much so that I would, and probably will be buying myself a pot
of the Toddler Body Mousse all of my own when this one is finished. This stuff
isn’t just for the kiddies you know :0)
Creatures
baby & toddler toiletries are all free from parabens, sulphates,
petro-chemicals, synthetic colours, synthetic fragrances, and are not tested on
animals making them great for young, sensitive, delicate skin. The main
ingredients used in the baby & toddler range are Organic Rooibos,
Chamomile, Lavender, Shea Butter and Aloe Vera.
World
of Creatures was set up by Marike Fichardt who grew up in South Africa. This is
where her knowledge of the beneficial healing properties of Rooibos came from
and is also where she found her inspiration for the gorgeous giraffe, elephant
and zebra animals who feature on the packaging, all of which is
recyclable. In addition to the lovely
products they make, Creatures also support a children’s charity in South Africa
called Cotlands. This is a non-profit agency founded in 1936 which has evolved
into a shelter for abused, abandoned, HIV-positive, orphaned and terminally ill
children from birth to fourteen years of age. As the Aids epidemic increases so
does the rate of orphaned children the eldest of whom are often left to look
after their younger siblings and have to leave school before gaining the skills
needed to enter the market place. Cotlands works with these children and gives
hope and Creatures support a Cotlands centre in Somerset West (near Cape Town).
I’m
very impressed with the Creatures products I’ve tried so far and will definitely
be buying some more once these ones are finished and as they are reasonably
priced too this is another thumbs up from me.
