Coconut Oil, In a Stick? The Coconut Stick by Eco Sprout

2014/02 By Lauren B. Stevens 1 Comment

 Only recently have I started using coconut oil around the house, but it’s quickly become my “Windex.”  I’ve used it for sautéing, in place of butter for a crumble, as a conditioner for my hair and scalp, as moisturizer for my little guy’s skin, and as a diaper cream.  I’m sure there are so many other uses for this wonderful product, but I was extremely excited when I was sent Eco Sprout’s The Coconut Stick to review!
Before receiving The Coconut Stick, I would scoop a dollop of coconut oil into a ramekin and keep it on the changing table (and in the shower).  The coconut oil worked wonders on D’s chapped cheeks, and he he quickly began asking for “coco” to rub on his cheeks and on his body, having fun helping out.  As much as I liked using the coconut oil, I didn’t like the oily mess that was on my hands afterwards, necessitating keeping a cloth on the changing table to wipe off.  Enter the Eco Sprout’s The Coconut Stick.
The Coconut Stick by Eco Sprout makes using coconut oil mess-free and easy, so easy that even a toddler can use it!  We use the stick for chapped skin, an all over moisturizer, soothing diaper rash and creating a barrier — pretty much everything.  Here are some other great uses for The Coconut Stick by Eco Sprout:
  • Nipple Cream
  • Cradle Cap
  • Baby Acne
  • Bug Bites

Made in the USA from three simple ingredients: organic virgin coconut oil, beeswax, vitamin E oil — you can feel confident putting this on the entire family’s skin.

Eco Sprout’s The Coconut Stick is so convenient, you’ll want to buy several to keep in multiple locations.

You can buy your own The Coconut Stick by Eco Sprout from Diaper Junction HERE.  Want to find out about Eco Sprout’s latest news and products?  Connect with them through social media, on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

Grandma El’s: A Great Cloth Diaper-Friendly (Barrier) Ointment

2013/04 By Lauren B. Stevens 3 Comments

I’ve written previously about my favorite cloth diaper-friendly rash ointment, and about some great cloth diapering accessories, but I’ve neglected to talk about how helpful it is to have cloth-friendly diaper rash treatments on-hand (even when you don’t have diaper rash present).  Today I’m showcasing my favorite cloth diaper-friendly barrier ointment.  While Grandma El’s is both a remedy and great for prevention, I have typically just used it on the preventative side as a barrier ointment.

One of our well-loved tubes of Grandma El’s

As I wrote before, when D got a horrible rash early on, I scrambled to order cloth-friendly creams.  While we ended-up having to use disposable diapers with heavy duty zinc creams, once our cloth-friendly options arrived, I was happy to ditch the sposies and go back to cloth.

When we returned to cloth, I was really paranoid.  At a few weeks old, I could tell that the rash was painful and did not wish to have it return once we were able to clear it up.  This is where Grandma El’s was a lifesaver!  There are times when you just want a heavier-duty cream/ointment that is going to protect your little one until their next diaper change, and is safe to use with your diapers.  In the cloth world, Grandma El’s is it.

Grandma El’s is thick, like barrier creams

As you can see in the above photo, while Grandma El’s is an ointment, it goes on thick like a (barrier) cream.    We’ve been having some rash issues recently, so I put a nice layer of this on with D’s nighttime diaper, to offer wetness protection throughout the night.  Grandma El’s is great for all-day use as well.

In need of a cloth diaper-friendly ointment right now?  Grandma El’s is offering The Median Mommy readers $5 off of their purchase at www.GrandmaEls.com with the code: MEDIAN  (how awesome is that?)
