Honey Babe Range Review

I was so excited to receive the Honey Babe baby range by Wild Ferns to review! This will be my first time using anything from Wild Ferns. In this package I reveived a Shampoo & Wash, a Barrier Crème and a Massage Oil.

As for the packaging; the cream and massage oil came in beautiful cream, orange and gold embossed boxes. Its got a picture of a baby on a manuka flower floating on honey. The soap just came by itself. The 100g cream came in a tub with twist top and so did the oil which was 120ml. The soap was 140ml and had a pump bottle. They are convenient size. Easy to travel with and pop in the diaper bag.

Now lets get on to the products: firstly the shampoo & wash has a no tears formula so thats gonna make bathtime so much more fun. It has a mild familiar scent (that for the life of me I cant recognize) and is easily dispensed. 1 pump is ok to wash hair and face but if like me you want lots of lather than by all means use 3-4 pumps for the body. Skin and hair was left soft with a lingering mild scent.

Now for the Barrier Crème; its creamy and very luxurious and thick. I just needed a little bit at a time as it spreads easily on skin and leaves an oily residue ( in a good way!). Its got a mild scent-nothing overpowering. Works okay but need regular application because the cream rubs of easily.

Lastly for the Massage Oil. Where can i start? I just love this product. It will always be my favourite from the bunch. Its easily dispensed. Got a stopper on top which allows only drips to come through so no wastage. Its a little bit thick and has a very pronounced scent. Absolutely delicious which is dangerous cause you dont want to go about biting your baby no matter how sweet he smells! Spreads and absorbs easily on the body leaving a healthy sheen ( note to myself: use on legs after shaving). And also washes out easily. I have used it on my hands before sleeping and its so calming and soothing. And the skin is left soft and supple.

I would recommend parents to give this range a go. They might just find their new favorite. If you only want to try one product than give the massage oil a go. You wont be disappointed.

P.s baby boy didnt react to any of these products and when i asked him his view he said: bababababa pprrrrrrr!

I loved trialling these products on my precious little boy. I especially liked how all the products were made of no nasty chemicals and of all natural ingredients. The scent of each product in this range was appealing also. The packaging was simple, clear and effective thoughout the range of products. The baby wash and shampoo came in a small pump bottle. The pump was perfect to ensure that you don’t use too much and easy to use when you have a little one to control in the bath. 2-3 pumps was enough to wash my little one from top to toe. It lathered well and didn’t seem to irritate my little boys eyes or skin.

The Baby oil was another treat to use. It smelt wonderful and the small hole in the top of the bottle controlled the flow and ensured that you didn’t waste a bit. Only a very small amount is needed as a little goes along way. It left my baby’s skin feeling soft and smooth.

Finally the baby balm, it came in a small tub with screw on lid (if your child anything like mine the screw top was blessing as it prevented and deterred him from trying to get in to the balm while I had my hands occupied dressing him). The balm it’s self was luxurious. It was easily applied due to it soft and silky like texture. In the time using the balm my baby did not get any nappy rash or reaction of any sort.

I highly recommend all these products to any mother.

Thanks Beauty Review for selecting me to trial these, I found two of the Honey Babe products amazing. even though one I wasn't particularly in love with as much as the others, it was still a really nice baby product All the Honey babe products smell amazingly good, like warm and yummy manuka honey. The barrier creme is super good! Such a fantastic product, great value, great ingredients and a baby product I will be telling everyone about! This creme is very healing and kind to the skin. The shampoo & wash worked great as a baby body wash and was super as a amazing smelling bubble bath, although I didn't find it worked well as a shampoo - perhaps abit drying to use on hair? The calming massage oil is just beautiful to use. It smells great, just like all the Honey Babe manuka products, but also left my sons skin silky soft and moisturised. He slept so well after his baby massages and I even found this great to use on my sore shoulders. Overall Wild Ferms Honey Babe products are fantastic and worked great all together. They are affordable and lovely to use. I will definately purchase these in future.

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!

These products are beautiful packaged. At the bottom in the corner of the product, it says the percentage of the product being natural. They are all 95% or higher natural which is so important when you are using products on your child’s soft and delicate skin. These products are all New Zealand made and cruelty free which is great if you are conscious beauty product buyer! These product contain Manuka honey which is scientific proven to have health benefits and being a natural product, that’s a bonus. I found these products safe and easy to use, simple and easy to read directions on the back of the product. The smell of these products is incredible. After using the body wash / shampoo I just wanted to smell my child all night. I found the barrier cream effective, it didn’t transfer much into the nappy so I didn’t have to reapply as much I have had to in the past. I loved the massage oil. I think this is such a great product to add to child’s night time routine to help settle them to sleep.

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

Was super excited to take part in this trial Shampoo with 2 under 2 we use a far bit of baby products as they both love bathtime.

I recognise the master brand Wild Fern from tourist shops and gift shops so was skeptical about quality and chemicals. But looking into ingredients they aren't too shabby.

They are also pretty affordable products just harder to source than some competitors.

Shampoo and wash This has a slight honey fragrance and love the pump bottle, so so handy when bathing 2 slippery wet little ones. All natural product is a huge bonus

Tested on both Miss almost 2 and Mr 9 weeks hair.  Shampoo frothed easily and was super easy to rinse out.  Was worried it would dry my daughters very curly hair but it dried beautifully. My son doesn't have much hair so hard to comment,  he did gave cradle cap a few days later but I'm sure it's not related to the shampoo.

As a bodywash there was no reaction from their super sensitive skin. Nor did it appear to dry their skin out. They were both left delicately fragranced.

Nappy balm Same delicate honey scent as other products in range.  In a tub which can be tricky when changing nappies.

None of my babes had nappy rash over the trial period so I can't comment if it helps. But will update when we get some.

Product itself is super easy to apply and doesn't stain unlike zinc based nappy creams.

This stuff is fantastic as a hand cream, makes my hands super soft. I highly recommend the brand promote this or even sell it as a hand cream.

Massage oil

Again dispenser is fantastic as oil is pretty fluid. Oil was has same fragrance as others in range oil was light and absorbed easily.

Finding time for baby massage is tricky, so I also added this into bath which was great when babies skin was bit dry. Use extreme caution though as things get crazy slippery.

Overal lovely product to gift for a baby shower and will most likely repurchase.

I confess I was a little hesitant to put my hand up for this as I'm pretty cautious about what I put on my baby's skin. When the products arrived I immediately checked the back to see the ingredients. I was really excited to find they didn't contain artificial fragrance. As a bonus, they still smelt lovely!

The three products I received to try were a barrier balm, a massage oil and a body wash.

The barrier balm was the one I found the most useful. The texture is similar to a body butter and I ended up using it liberally all over my baby girl, as her dry skin is prone to eczema. As a bonus, the size is great for fitting in the nappy bag or travel bag. I've ended up using it as a bit of a one-product-all-jobs. It wasn't quite as heavy and oily as my regular barrier cream (Tui balm), but that difference is made up for by the fact I can use this one for all kinds of jobs.

The massage oil was again a pleasant scent. Although I did use it on my baby, I confess I'm not much of a baby massage person (am I the only one whose kids get super impatient and wriggly when you try to massage them?) and I'll be finishing this bottle up on myself (a suggestion they have on their packaging!). However if you are a baby massage person, this is a great, gentle NZ option.

Finally the body wash. I found this a nice, soothing, gentle wash, again with no ingredients that I was worried by.

My only criticism of these products is that I found the scent lasted a little long - and I like my baby smelling only of baby! However, these are a really good option if you're looking for gentle, NZ made products for your little one.

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

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.
