Product Review: Northern Essence Better Butt(er) Cream
Northern Essence Better Butt(er) Cream
I am a huge fan of all the Northern Essence products but the Better Butt(er) Cream is a particular favorite. This stuff rocks. All their products are wonderful, especially the lip balm and diaper salve, but the BBC has a special place in my heart. I was one of the lucky ones who gave birth to a kid with sensitive skin. VERY sensitive skin. It is what turned us toward the cloth diapering path for which I am very grateful. This skin issue has forced us to do a great deal of research and we have learned so much. Without my little Emily, I don’t think I would know nearly as much about being a natural family. She started us on this journey and I thank her.
Anyway….the BBC. IT. ROCKS. Emily sensitive skin left her very prone to rashes. So, we needed to find something soothing that would help her but would also be safe for cloth diapers (oil build up can make the diapers much less absorbent). We tried a wide variety of natural creams and salves but she often complained that they made her skin “burn.” Once we started with the BBB we never received those complaints again. In fact, she found it so soothing and comfortable (it is triple whipped and so light and fluffy) she used to ask us to put it on!
The BBC comes in a little pot and is odor free. I often wish it came in a tube or something easier to apply than a pot (I don’t like things getting under my nails). Other than that, I have no complaints. Love the stuff. Don’t know how we would have gotten through Em’s diapering years without it.
