Summer means getting away from it all and we all know how important it is to travel light when there's a baby involved. Now you can do so and still bring the products you need and love--thanks to the Weleda Baby Starter Kit ($12). It's composed of five essential Weleda products designed to calm, soothe and protect in an easy-to-carry, reusable bag that meets TSA size requirements. Formulated with Biodynamic® calendula, the Weleda Baby Calendula Care collection softly cares for a baby’s ultra-sensitive skin. Plus, it smells baby fresh! The Calendula Baby Cream gives skin a protective layer from dry indoor air or the ravages of the great outdoors. Calendula Oil, formulated with organic chamomile, is ideal for after a bath or to pamper your baby with a soothing massage. Calendula Lotion with sweet almond oil, organic sesame oil and calendula moisturizes and soothes delicate skin. Calendula Shampoo & Body Wash, with plant-derived, sugar-based cleansing and foaming agents, is gentle on eyes and skin. And--my favorite--Calendula Diaper Care, complete with a medicinal blend of zinc oxide and other calming ingredients, offers quick relief from diaper rash and minor skin irritations. Plus, it eliminates unwanted odors and leaves your little one smelling sweet. Get your kit at www.usa.weleda.com.
For guys who are always on the go, this compact travel kit will save time otherwise spent on refilling travel bottles or searching for products in their miniature form. The rich shave cream features a blend of absinthe extract, jojoba oil, vitamin E, active aloe, and pro-vitamin B5 to help the razor glide over skin and ensure a close shave. It also soothes skin and protects it from irritation. The light-textured aftershave balm features marigold and ginseng to soothe and comfort skin after shaving. The toning and hair strengthening shampoo, with magnesium and wheat protein, the juniper and rum shower gel, and the ruscus and chestnut eye cream make up all the necessities of a daily skin care routine. Metrosexual or not, it's a gift he won't be able to do without. Available at www.sephora.com and Korres Natural Products stores in New York City.
