UK Moms Surprise Store Staff By Using Baby Bum Cream On Their Faces

Last week we wrote about Diaper Goop, a product created to help parents battle diaper rash. While I loved how it worked on my sons bum, the way it softened and hydrated my feet made me much happier. When I saw that they product had lanolin in it I thought it would work on my less than exciting feet – and I was right.

I guess I am not the only mom who is finding new creative ways to use bum cream because supermarket staff in the UK were mystified when a cream for baby’s bottom began selling like hot cakes. At least until they realized that moms were putting it on their own faces.

At £2.49($5US) a pot, Waitrose’s own-label Baby Bottom Butter is only a fraction of the cost of designer products.

The buying frenzy began after it was given glowing endorsements on parenting websites.

The butter is free from artificial chemicals and contains olive oil, camomile – for nappy rash – and lavender.

Sales of Baby Bottom Butter doubled to around 30,000 tubs in the first part of this year, taking its Hampshire-based supplier by surprise and leading to shortages on the shelves.

This whole situation reminds me of a couple of years ago when Shania Twain mentioned, during an interview, that she used ‘udder balm’(cream to hydrate cows teets – only sold at feed stores) on her face. Not long after that Walmart started to stock it in the beauty aisles.

Product Review: Diaper Goop

For the last few weeks we have been trying out Diaper Goop.

Developed by a pharmacist, Diaper Goop was created to help clear up diaper rashes, chaffing, sore irritated skin in all ages.

It contains Lanolin and other Natural Ingredients that not only help prevent diaper rash but also naturally and quickly assist in the healing of irritated skin.

We have been blessed with a little guy that rarely gets diaper rash. The crummy part is, that when one does develop, you need to act fast in order for it keep it under control.

I found that Diaper Goop not only helped keep his skin free of those dreaded red bumps, but it also made it very soft.

Seeing this made me think that it could work on my less than beautiful feet and I was right. I would smooth the Diaper Goop on my feet before I went to bed and then cover them with cotton socks.

I like that this ‘goop’ goes on nicely and is easily washed off my hands afterwards. Nothing is worse that a sticky, thick cream that attaches itself to your hands.

Another plus is that this product comes in a tub. This helps to reduce waste and makes the cream easier to get to. I can’t stand dealing with a tube and trying to make sure I get everything out of the bottom, as I try to hold down a two year old who is trying to flee the scene.

Please visit the official site for more information. Diaper Goop is $6.95 for a 2oz. jar
