Firstly, I am extremely delighted that my sons love the smell and texture, (previously this was a battle as they don’t like overpowering smells or creams that are difficult to spread). Plus the fact that it comes in a squeezable tube and the lid is super practical for little fingers to squeeze, open and close, which is a huge bonus as boys can become a little impatient when unscrewing and screwing a lid on…. It’s too much work!

All three boys aged 13, 11 and 4 have adapted it to their daily routine, (although mornings are a bit of struggle – shhhhh! I have actually seen them smother their faces with cream instead of washing – boys!!!)

My middle Son Thomas has suffered from eczema and allergies since he was a few months old, by the end of a school day his skin would be raw and weeping (spring and summer months were the worst season). At one point, he simply refused to put anything on.

In the past, I have bought products recommended by trusted pediatricians and dermatologist that irritated and dried his skin, some of them I had to immediately wash off and dispose of. Honestly, I was fed up of loading his tender skin with chemicals, worst of all was hydrocortisone and E45 prescribed by the GP. It literally burnt his skin and watching him scream in agony was heart wrenching for me.

Until I was Introduced to Barefoot SOS by my friend Lola, whose son also sufferers from eczema. It has been a good few years now and we are delighted with the results of SOS rescue cream. I have now proudly adapted my children’s products to organic, SLS free, 100% natural, pure high quality ingredients, and brands that I trust and hope they will continue to use throughout their adult lives.
