Motherlove Green Salve Review
7:50 AM Posted by Mommy Is Green
As I'm switching over the products my family uses, I look for items that contain the largest amount of organic ingredients. I look at a lot of products that claim to be natural/organic and find myself disappointed most of the time. That's because they end up containing some kind of synthetic ingredient. I've been looking to switch over everything in our household including what is in our medicine cabinet. One company that has helped me find a quality organic product is the Motherlove Herbal Company.From www.motherlove.com:
Therapeutic Pampering for the Body and Soul
Creating the purest products of the finest quality, Motherlove Herbal Company is dedicated to using certified organic ingredients for a holistic way to soothe, pamper and enrich the pregnant or breastfeeding body. Cruelty free and without the use of preservatives, artificial fragrances and petroleum-based additives (such as mineral oil) found in most body care products, Motherlove products instill confidence and peace of mind as you nurture yourself and the life within.
Used to soothe the discomforts of pregnancy and breastfeeding, and pamper the body, our products are also safe and gentle on baby's skin. Motherlove products have been proven so effective they have earned the trust and continued support of lactation consultants, midwives, healthcare practitioners and mothers everywhere.
My favorite thing about Motherlove is that they offer some products that are 100% Certified Organic. One of those products is Green Salve. It can be used for insect bites, bee stings, poison ivy, rashes, chapped or irritated skin, and even eczema. I used Motherlove Green Salve for both my dry, chapped hands and behind my son's dry ears.
Unfortunately, I do get dry, chapped hands in the summer too. When I do cleaning I have to admit that I go a little overboard on the hand washing. On top of that there's hand washing before meals & snacks, and after diaper changes. It's really taken a toll on my hands because I've only been using oil on them at night. I ran out of lotion and I'm currently researching a safer organic hand lotion to buy. As I've been holding off getting a lighter hand lotion due to research time, my hands have suffered for it. Luckily, I've been able to try Green Salve to ease the chapping. When my hands start to hurt I put some on. I feel almost instant relief. It's great!
As an infant, my son suffered from eczema on his face and behind his ears. Now that he is a toddler he has grown out of it, but he still gets dry skin behind his ears sometimes. I put Green Salve behind his ears after a bath one night. By the next day I could see improvement. It only took a few applications over a couple of days for him to heal. The best part is that I didn't have to use a petroleum product on his skin, or any toxic chemicals.
Motherlove has a lot of great products to choose from for pregnancy, birth, baby, and breastfeeding. Their products are cruelty-free and do not use preservatives, artificial fragrances, or petroleum-based additives. That's something I can appreciate!

I love Motherlove and have used them for years. I always give a little sample kit to my prenatal clients and preggo friends.
