    Default J+J Johnson's naturals--how natural?

    The bottle (lotion) says paraben free and 99% natural. What do oyu think about it?

    Here's an old thread. Not as natural as you might like.

    "Someday, I am going to go to bed without toys on the floor and sippys in my sink. Things will stay where I put them and I can have nice, fragile items on display. But when I do, I will look around with a wistfullness in my heart and miss the days where vibrant imaginations ran wild and there was evidence of life happening around me all the time!"

    Thanks, that was helpful.

    I'm trying to find a good massage lotion for DD. The scent of Cal. Baby's calming lotion is a bit too strong, and the unscented lotion smells odd to me. The Yes to Baby Carrots is a bit powdery, and the Burt's is waaay too powdery. Oh well. Guess I keep looking.

    Would you consider using just some natural oils? Jojoba, olive, coconut?

    I was going to say that too. I really have come to prefer coconut over most lotion.

    Yes, I might. I think I will try Avalon Organics Baby lotion and/or baby massage oil first, they are reated pretty well by the EWG. I am trying to avoid greasiness though, because then DD will be even harder to catch!

    Lavanila Baby Lotion absorbs easily and is lightly scented (mild vanilla-y scent) though I have no idea how it's rated on EWG because I haven't found it yet.

    An added plus is that you can get away with using only a tiny bit to cover the entirety of baby's body if you need to.

    They also have a "baby butter" but I haven't tested that yet.

    The biggest drawback is price - it's $15/bottle and an exclusive to Sephora.
