I used to buy insect repellants from super markets for my daughter Sofia Arabella, however, mosquitoes still keeps on biting her skin.Then, my friend invited me to visit the store of Human Heart Nature and tried their Citronella Bug Spray. The product was effective to Sofia's skin. Her skin became free from mosquito bites. Citronella Bug Spray Repellant is 100% Natural. It's a DEET-free (mostly found in pesticides and can cause seizure and death) formulation and infused with organic virgin coconut oil (VCO)- known for its skin healing, moisturizing and anti microbial benefits, organic citronella oil-well known insect repellent, and organic lemongrass essential oil together with rosemary and lavender essential oils.
I also love the Human Nature Baby Oil because it heals mosquito bites and prevents diaper rash. Recently, I was alarmed when I read an article that most baby oils and lotions in the market contains mineral oil produced from distillation of petroleum. Some of the common side effects of mineral oil are skin dryness, rashes and cancer (http://www.livestrong.com/article/151529-negative-effects-of-mineral-oil-in-skin-care/). But because of human nature's products, I'm now confident that my baby is safe from harmful chemicals.
For more effective protection for my baby, I follow Human Heart Nature's three easy steps: (1) Baby Wash to Cleanse and Calm, (2) Baby Lotion to moisturize and nourish (3) Protect and Nurture.
Thanks to Ms. Anna Meloto Wik, one of the founders of Human Heart Nature's Founder who decided to "live a more sustainable and green lifestyle", Her passion for the environment when she became a mom and decided to used cloth diapers instead of disposable diapers and eventually led them to using fewer chemicals and, well, less stuff in general. I hope soon cloth diapers will be available .Anna's husband set up a Gawad Kalinga volunteers in the Philippines. during their stay, Anna noticed a growing trend of affordable, natural and ethically-acquired products entering the mainstream market. In November 2008, with the help of some close friends, family and Gawad Kalinga partners, Human Nature was officially launched at Blue Leaf, Fort Bonifacio, Manila and the rest is history.
I'm also using now their other products... Natural Feminine Wash, Natural MoisturizingVanilla Shampoo, Berry Bliss Lotion, Sunflower Beauty Oil, Moisturizing Night Cream, and their new products Hydrating Mineral Lisptick and Bamboo Body Scrub.
I'm proud to say that I'm a Human Heart Nature Lover because aside from being pro-philippines, pro-poor and pro-environment, they are also pro-mom. Truly, their products are mom's best friend.
