Even though dry skin seems like an adult-only problem (especially after watching all those age-defying product commercials), kids can get dry skin, too. Plus with swimming season just around the corner, all that chlorine is bound to cause some itchy, dry skin. That’s where Stuff for Sprouts comes in handy. The company offers lotion, cream and lip balm with no mineral oil, paraben-based preservatives, chemical fillers, artificial colors or nut butters (great for those with allergies) in kid friendly scents and flavors.
We tried out the Cream for Extra Crunchy Kids in Blueberry Muffin (also available in Front Lawn) and Lip Stuff for Crispy Kissers in Chocolate (also available in Frosting and PB&J). Both were super moisturizing and kept our hands and lips soft for hours while also smelling good enough to eat. If your kids balk at the boring scents of adult lotions, we’re sure they won’t be able to resist this stuff. Stuff for Sprouts also offers Lotion for Crunchy Kids in Lemon and Beach (which the Web site says smells like suntan lotion).
The Cream for Extra Crunchy Kids retails for $20 for 4 ounces, $10 for 2 ounces. The Lip Stuff for Crispy Kissers retails for $8 for one, $20 for a gift pack of three. The Lotion for Crunchy Kids retails for $15 for 4 ounces, $8 for 2 ounces. For more information or to order, visit www.stuff4sprouts.com.
