Honey Babe Range Review

I’ve never done a mystery trial so this was a bit different and exciting! So straight off the bat I was impressed - NZ made, 99-100% natural, recyclable packaging, not animal tested. Ticks all the boxes - but the main thing is its natural. I think in this day and age with everything you hear about chemicals (even in baby products) most mums would prefer to use natural products. I can see this range being in a supermarket, chemist, farmers all over really and I hope it will be - its affordable, easy to use, effective and smells amazing. What more could you want? The massage oil can be used as an everyday moisturiser for not only baby but mum too. And the winner out of the 3 products is the barrier creme - its simply awesome and can be used all over but fantastic especially for dry rough skin and will now be a staple in my bathroom cupboard.

The moment these products arrived I knew I would love it, from the cute picture of the little newborn baby on the box to reading it was made locally, to the heavenly sweet scent of honey. I had the barrier cream, body wash and shampoo and calming massage oil to try. First of all can I just say how beautiful and soft the fragrance is, it smelt so divine, I couldn't wait to start using it on bubs! The barrier cream was fabulous, thick and moisturizing and kept any sign of moisture that contributes to horrible nappy rash - at bay. My hands were even softer after using it in baby and I even began to use it as a moisturiser on my hands too! The body wash and shampoo was brilliant, I loved that it was a 2 in 1 so it cuts the time in half instantly, fiddling around with different bottles and products whilst trying to juggle bubs in the bath. It made her hair so soft and shiny and smelt great too. After her bath I applied the calming massage oil and quickly found that a little goes a long way and is very quickly absorbed by the skin. It was very moisturizing and she loved getting that little bit of extra t.l.c after her bath before bedtime. All in all I really liked this product and have already been recommending it to my other mummy friends. I love that it's 100% natural and locally made and not ridiculously priced either. I've already ordered the moisture creme and can't wait to try the soap bar too! Thanks beauty review and honey babe from me and mine xx

I was so lucky to be given the opportunity to trial the new Honey Babe range by Wildferns. These are beautiful NZ made skincare products for baby, with the main ingredient being NZ Manuka Honey, paired with other beautiful natural ingredients.

I couldn't fault any of the products I used on my little one - the massage oil, the barrier cream or the shampoo and wash.

All these products smelt so beautiful and natural/fresh. I didn't hesitate giving these a go and applying them to my little ones skin (im super picky with what I use on her skin). They all applied to the skin so beautifully, not harsh at all or irritating on the skin. My babys skin continually smells so yummy and looks so healthy since using these products. The skin feels extremely soft too! No dry spots on her skin or redness at all.

The range is really affordable as well, and all the products will last a really long time, making them excellent value for money.

Generally I loved these trial products with the exception of my bubs stubborn nappy rash. Using the body wash in combo with the massage oil felt very luxurious and was a nice bonding time with my new baby.. I love the idea of using such natural products and ingredience on her skin and I think overall this product range delivered.

I was intrigued when I was selected for this trial - an NZ brand of baby care products.

The Honey Baby branding is super cute - babies in flowers, very Anne Geddes. The packaging is sturdy and practical, and all products could go in the baby bag without fear of leaking or spillage. Top marks there!

The products are clearly, and proudly NZ made, natural, cruelty free and packed full of manuka honey. I like knowing what I'm buying without having to read lots of small print!

The range is very lightly, but naturally scented, the body wash is a little stronger than the others, but it does dissipate.

I found all of the products effective - my favourite was the barrier creme, I found this really good on baby's bum, but also a super-lovely intensive repair creme for my hands!

These are at a really good price point, especially in the natural baby market which seems to be pricey usually. I've purchased similar natural barrier / multi purpose creams for $40 +. These would make a fab gift for new mums!

I was selected to take part in the trial team for this product. I was very excited when this package arrived, as first of all it was a mystery and second, it was Wild Fern! I recently discovered the wild fern range and I absolutely love it. The label is a yellow or golden orange ombre base with manuka flowers 'falling' over it. There is also a gold trim along the bottom, and the brand "Wild Ferms' is in gold. There is an adorable picture of a baby asleep on a manuka flower too. The barrier creme and the shampoo & wash have this design on them. The massage oil however comes in a box but is a plain white bottle with black writing. The only splash of color is the Honey Babe label. This may be because the sticker label may come off with the oil? All three products smell the same and have such a fantastic aroma. It's a nice light manuka smell. They all left his and my skin feeling great. I used all three products on my skin first (eczema prone hands) just to make sure they wouldn't cause a reaction. The barrier creme was great. It comes in a screw top tub with a solid plastic seal. The texture wasn't as thick as the eco store creme which I like. It also spread easily and I found I didn't need much. It also healed any problem areas in the same time frame that bepanthen did. (Note:they weren't bad problem areas, we try and catch them out before we actually need the antiseptic). I also found the creme was very soothing and healing on my own (eczema prone) hands. The massage oil was great. It comes in a bottle with a screw top lid. The only thing I found a problem was the tiny seal for the oil hold was a tiny individual pin that I needed my nails to get out. It was small enough that it could get lost very easily, or if your child is quick fingered like mine - could be a hazard. It absorbed into our skin quite nicely and it left my hands feeling like I had just moisturized them. His skin was left feeling nice and soft. The amount that I did manage to get into my sons skin had no effect on his eczema which was a bonus. The Shampoo & wash was also great. It comes in a small pump bottle which if you turn the nozzle left it locks it, or right to pump it. It also came with a locking clip on the neck of the pump to stop any accidental pump in transport. The texture was very much how I expected it to be - like a normal liquid soap. It is similar to the QV that we have been using on our sons skin. I did find that it did not foam much when using just my hands, but when we used a loofah it bubbled up a lot! I found two pumps more than enough to do our sons body and half a pump was enough for his hair. It left our sons hair nice and soft too, and did not aggravate his eczema or his cradle cap. I would absolutely recommend these three products. We will definitely be repurchasing these. The smell is divine and they work exactly how they say on the package - the fact that they don't aggravate his eczema is the main seller for me.

Love all 3 products, in particular the barrier creme which can be used as a body cream as well. Winter is here and when the kids get runny nose, their nose area can get chapped. I use this around the nose and it works wonders

The products are fantastic, not only do they smell like baby products should, making you reminisce when your little one was a fresh bundle. They do as they say they do with natural ingredient's that is clearly good for the skin as you are left with soft clear skin and shiny hair. This product will quickly become a new parent's must have as soon as the word gets around and will knock the socks off the other competitors. It is nice to have a New Zealand made product you can rely on with ingredients you can read and understand. It will be a staple in our home and a request on the baby shower list for then the final bundle arrives to fill our hearts.

I have really enjoyed using these products on my baby. Skin care is really important for me and I am trying to look after her skin as well as I can for her. This range has the three products, a shampoo and wash, massage oil and a barrier cream. That's all I need for baby skincare so this range is all I need. All of these products worked really well and had the perfect level of yummy honey scent to be used on a baby. My favourite of the three products was the shampoo and wash, this is solely based on the packaging being perfect, the oil and barrier cream I would like in different packaging more appropriate for how I use it. The branding and level of information on the packaging is great and I think it would make a lovely baby shower gift. I like to use complimentary skincare products and love that this range has Manuka honey in it. Manuka honey has incredible healing properties and is something I'm keen to bathe in to be honest. This range worked really well, left my baby's skin in beautiful condition and was easy to use. This range is made in New Zealand which is a huge drawcard for me. I prefer to buy NZ made skin care by far. The products are 100% natural too, it's something I look for in my own skincare but is especially important in skin care for my baby. This range is really nice, I would (and have) recommend it to others and will be repurchasing it!

I used this on our baby and she loved it... the feel on her skin was soft and comforting and not irritable.. she has sensitive skin so its good that this is all natural. The baby bath gel didnt need alot and lathered well. Bum cream was very smooth and didnt leave residue. The lotion absorbed well into skin and didnt require extra rubbing or more product. Result was softer, less irritated skin for my angel.
