Fragrance-Free Friday 8.19.11
One thing I love about working in this industry is meeting the brains behind the brands. I am constantly amazed at how genuine and dedicated most of the people working in the juvenile products industry are. Last year in Las Vegas, while attending ABC Kids Expo, I had the pleasure of meeting the Ladies behind MD Moms skin care line.

I capitalized that L for a reason. They are two of the friendliest, most smartest (Drop Dead Gorgeous, anyone?), and sassiest women I’ve met. Diane Truong, MD, FAAP, and JJ Levenstein, MD, FAAP, are both California-based pediatricians. More importantly, they are others….Sassy Mothers. Greeted with a strong hug and a kiss, I knew that these were my kind of people. We sat down and discussed their company, their philosophies and life over a few Canadian Oreos. I left this meeting with a greater appreciation of their brand, and a new friendship with these Ladies.

I received notice a couple weeks ago that a few of their terrific products were recently the recipients of the National Eczema Association’s Seal of Acceptance—a terrific honor for such a great company. Even better, for those who have extra-sensitive skin, they’ve released two products in a fragrance-free form!!
Baby Silk Gentle All Over Clean is a gentle cleanser that is free of parabens, preservatives, sulfates, lanolin, phthalates, mineral oil, petroleum and other nasty ingredients you certainly don’t want on your nugget.
Baby Silk Daily Skin Protection is a great moisturizing balm that is free of parabens, preservatives, phthalates and other nasty ingredients, so that your nugget’s skin feels silky smooth. Whenever I’m feeling dry, I actually use this product and it’s lovely.
All MD Moms products are available at MDMoms.com and fine retailers across this great land such as Magic Beans.
