  Carleigh uses organic essential oils, organic base oils (like organic coconut oil, organic unrefined shea butter and organic mango butter), as well as natural colorants with every opportunity!

Also, all ingredients are made in the USA, so you'll be supporting several US based small businesses with every purchase.

Ellison's Organic Story
 Carleigh and her husband have two handsome little men, Elliott and Harrison. Along with the birth of their second child Harrison, Ellison's Organics was born as well! Carleigh realized that she cared about not being able to pronounce most of the ingredients on the back of the bath wash bottle, so she decided she'd better do something about it. So she created Ellison's Organics to ensure that the things she was putting on her the skin of her often messy boys was going to do more for good for them than it would harm. She began searching and researching to find the most natural, finest and organic ingredients out there to create Ellison's Organics with. She was very pleased to find ingredients that she understood, such as, Mango Butter, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Almond Oil as well as Coconut Oil. they were all safe and even beneficial for our bodies as well as sounding delicious.

 Organic Firetruck Soap

 How awesome! Organic unscented Firetruck soap and it actually looks like a Firetruck! Ellison's Organics firetruck soaps are unscented and can be made in a variety of colors, but of course they are usually made in red. They weigh about 2 ounces and are about 4 inches long, they are also shrink-wrapped.

Cade loves his firetruck soap! We are potty training when he is up for it, forcing wont help him potty train any soon, however back to my point. When he does use the potty then he washes his hands with his new firetruck soap. He also uses his firetruck soap in the bath tub and because loves for his hands to be clean I have a feeling I'll be purchasing more of these awesome firetruck soaps very soon! Before we had this soap he would ask for a baby wipe or napkin after each cheesy piece of food he ate or other type of food that would leave stuff on his fingers or leave them sticky. Literally after every piece! Now that we have this firetruck soap in our bathroom he runs into the bathroom to wash his hands very often! The soap does get his hands nice and clean and he is satisified with the cleaning ability of this soap. When he would ask for a wipe I'd have to wipe his hands many time before they were clean enough for him to go back to eating. 

Meltaway Lip Balm

 Ellison's Organics Meltaway Lip Balm provides soothing, moisturizing and smooth lip balm that is specially formulated to penetrate your skin quickly, leaving nothing behind except for healing and moisture. This is awesome for kids as it contains no chemicals, additives or scents!

Carleigh uses three powerhouse ingredients to create her awesome Meltaway balm, these ingredients are a combination of Organic Unrefined Shea Butter, Natural Pure Beeswax and Organic Virgin Coconut Oil. 

This lip balm is also available in a handy slid tin and can be used for soothing dry lips, elbows and cracked heels. Due to the nature of this balm and the fact that it does not contain any preservatives it should be stored in a cool and dry place, like a nightstand, drawer, purse, etc. It should not be left in car as it could melt, it may also melt in your pocket due to your body heat. It lasts for about six months, but I don't see how you could not have used it all before then. Each tube contains about .15 ounces of lip balm.

I'm not big on chap sticks, carmex or other mass produced lip products, but I love this Meltaway Lip Balm from Ellison's Organics! It does not need to be applied every five minutes like other lip products and it does not dry out your lips. I've used this lip balm for myself as well as on Ezio, my one and half year old. Jedilynn, my 7 year old daughter has also used this lip balm and tried to hide it from me because she wanted it to be hers and didn't want me to use it all!

Old Man Murray's Handmade Soap!

Organic Soap - Old Man Murray's Finest Quality Handmade Soap

About Old Man Murray's
Old Man Murray's all natural soaps are made by hand using basic organic ingredients such as the highest quality USDA certified organic vegetable oils, pure essential plant oils and herbs. They never use synthetic fragrances, colorants or preservatives. The result of using the finest quality ingredients is a superior bar of soap that is better for your skin and kinder to our plant!

Benefits of Organic Soaps for Sensitive Skin & Eczema?
Organic handmade soaps from Old Man Murray's contain no synthetics. Their products are completely free of irritants. Even soaps that doctors recommend contain many superfluous chemicals that will irritate your skin. While these soaps cannot heal skin conditions like eczema, they are so pure and mild that regular use will minimize common symptoms like redness and itchiness. The Honey Butter soap is perfect for people with highly sensitive skin. 
As many of my readers already know both Cade (almost 3y) and Ezio (15m) have eczema. Myself and Jedilynn (7y) have dry itchy skin during the winter months due to it becoming so dry through the cold months. 

 Old Man Murray's soaps are 100% FREE of :
  • Parabens
  • Alcohol
  • Petroleum
  • Artificial Dyes
  • Artificial Fragrances
Our Old Man Murray's Soaps!
 
We received the Big Sky Country, Lavender and of course Honey Butter! 

Big Sky Country
 Big Sky Country is a blend of sage, lemongrass and mint with exfoliating calendula petals from Montana's prairie lands. Big Sky country has a 20% coconut oil base which provides a quick, rich and moisturizing lather. Popular for both men and women, think of a pristine wide-open space with fresh, clean air!
I got Big Sky Country for Dan, but unfortunately he did not care for this scent so I use it for myself. I like using Big Sky Country in the morning, it's a nice refreshing start to my day.

 Lavender
 Lavender is great for unwinding after a long day as well as a good de-stress with the soothing fragrances of luxurious pure lavender essential oils and comfrey root which soothes and hydrates your skin. Great for both men and women alike. Also has a base of 20% coconut oil which provides a quick, rich and moisturizing lather. 
I chose Lavender for myself and the children. We LOVE Lavender! I used to use the commercial baby bath and baby bedtime lotions as they contained lavender, but they also have all of those harsh chemicals and with the boys having eczema I no longer feel comfortable using those on them. Lavender helps soothe the mind and is great for those of all ages to get a good nights sleep, allowing you to fall asleep a bit easier. 

Honey Butter
 Honey Butter is a rich and nutritious soap that is great for extra sensitive skin as it is unscented. It is made with Certified Fair Trade unrefined shea butter with a touch of honey and finely ground oatmeal which acts as the most gentle of exfoliators. Also has a 20% coconut oil base providing a quick, rich and moisturizing lather. 
Honey Butter is great for the whole family, whether you have sensitive skin or not! This one is my absolute favorite! This is perfect for my boys and has helped to soothe their skin so much. They are no longer as itchy and I've seen a LOT less rashes/patches on them of their eczema. I also use this and my skin is so nice and soft, as soft as the boys. Who doesn't want baby toddler soft skin?!  Our bar of Honey Butter is almost gone!! I'm rather sad about it, but we will just have to order more. 

All of the Old Man Murray's soaps lather amazingly well, clean your skin and the Honey Butter even helps exfoliate! Not only that, but it helps to lessen and soothe my two son's eczema, which is a HUGE plus!
