Bubbsi Body Cream Review 2024 | Natural, Organic Baby Moisturizer

Bubbsi Body Cream Review 2024 | Natural, Organic Baby Moisturizer

We tried Bubbsi’s Body Cream with our toddlers for two months, here’s what we thought…

The Top Line: GREAT buy, particularly for infant and toddler aged kids! Our kids LOVED Bubbsi’s Body Cream’s animal shaped bottles, which are made of a soft food-grade silicone, and it became an extra bath toy for us. We love the clean ingredients and very light coconut scent. While it is a bit pricier, it feels like we’re paying a bit extra for a bath toy and lotion in one, and it does get more affordable when you buy the refill pouch!


The Breakdown:

  • Cost & Products: $22.00 for 8oz animal-shaped bottle, $55 for 32oz refill pouch

  • How ‘Clean’ Is This? Kid-friendly, 100% naturally derived ingredients, with a light all-natural coconut & vanilla scent. Free of parabens, pthalates, sulfates, mineral oils and dyes. Refillable tub.

  • Packaging: It comes in a refillable food-grade silicone container, and shipped in cardboard materials.

  • Purchasing & Shipping: I purchased on Bubbsi’s website

  • Good to know: Our kids were OBSESSED with the cute animal shaped bottle, made them more excited about bathtime and applying lotion (in the past, our toddler just yells “no” when we tried to put on lotion).

  • What’s Your Impact? We appreciate the refillable tub container, and that is is shipped in paper cardboard materials.


The Experience

Context: As a mom with young toddlers that tend to run away screaming “NoooOOo” when we want to put on lotion, we were intrigued by Bubbsi’s Body Cream:

  • The adorable animal shaped bottle definitely caught our attention! It has become a beloved bath toy for our son

  • Our toddler actually likes trying to put some on himself!

  • Light coconut scent which we appreciate, and Allergy, Dermatologist & Pediatrician Tested

  • We appreciate that you can buy a larger refill pouch

Overall, happy with the experience!


The Cost

We compared Bubbsi’s Body Cream with other baby lotion’s out there, and found the price to be on the higher end. However, it is much more price effective if you buy the refill.

Money Report: While on the pricier side, we love the clean ingredients, and our kids loved the Bubbsi animal shaped bottles so much that we think it’s worth it.


The Good:

✔ Extremely cute animal shaped bottles made of food-grade silicone

✔ 98% naturally derived, vegan formula

✔ Light all-natural scent: Coconut, vanilla

✔ No parabens, phthalates, sulfates, mineral oils, or dyes

✔ Allergy, Dermatologist & Pediatrician Tested

✔ Love that it comes in refill format

✔ Awesome for baby massages

The Bad:

A bit on the pricier side, but worth it in our opinion for the cute animal shaped bottle—and the refills are much more affordable and in-range in terms of cost

Our Recommendation:

GREAT buy, particularly for infant and toddler aged kids! Our kids LOVED Bubbsi’s Body Cream’s animal shaped bottles, which are made of a soft food-grade silicone, and it became an extra bath toy for us. We love the clean ingredients and very light coconut scent. While it is a bit pricier, it feels like we’re paying a bit extra for a bath toy and lotion in one, and it does get more affordable when you buy the refill pouch!


We're on a mission to reduce our personal carbon footprint with small, hopefully easy, changes in our home to fight against climate change. This means we're looking for products that may be all natural, ideally zero waste, reusable or compostable -- while still being affordable!
