The Fresh Scent of Apricot

I think we can all agree that babies smell incredible after a bath. My kids are now 10, 16, and 18, so it’s been a long time since I got to smell their sweet, little baby heads. Luckily, I am Aunt to 6 kids, one of whom is still a baby. Hayden.  Here he is. Doesn’t he look like he smells wonderful?

When my kids were little, I used to splurge on Burt’s Bees Baby products from the Health Food Store.  Now you can find them all over in stores like Long’s Drugs or Target.  My favorite products were the Baby Bee Apricot Baby Oil and a little Apricot solid scent that I don’t think that they carry anymore.

I got a big box of products to review for work and inside the box I found my old favorite, the Baby Bee Apricot oil.  Score!  I love to put it on my legs after shaving. It leaves them smooth and the subtle apricot scent enhances, instead of over-powering my new favorite perfume.

Baby Bee Apricot Baby Oil
3oz for $8

Baby Bee is infused with the rich oil of apricot kernels, grape seeds, olives, and avocado. The “kernel” of the apricot is located within the pit of the apricot fruit.  It’s edibile and full of Vitamin A and E.  In addition Baby Bee Apricot Oil contains Lanolin which is good for baby’s skin. Even better, it’s free of Phthalate and Parabens.

I used to use this oil to give my little Sarah massages as a baby. I’m a Certified Massage Therapist and I’ve learned that there’s nothing like a good massage to prepare baby for bed time. If you’d like to give it a try, click here for some easy instructions.
