Tested by mum Carly Pearson for the M&B Awards 2016:

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

The range is for sensitive skin and those children prone to eczema, so it will appeal to those mums of children who suffer with dry skin; particularly as it is priced very competitively compared to other ranges on the market. The variety of products within the range is great - shampoo, nappy cream, wash, moisturising cream and extra-dry talc. The cream products were not too greasy and didn't leave any marks on clothes. The bath products were nice and bubbly and felt smooth on babies' skin.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

The products in the range are well packaged and easy to access whilst trying to pin down a squirmy baby! I particularly like that the range is produced by a supermarket and would therefore be available all in one place without having to go to a pharmacy or other specialist shop.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

I would probably change the design if I was being picky. It is quite plain and I'm not sure it would be necessarily jump out at me if I was looking for it on the shelves. However, if you sacrifice design over the competitive price, then I'd keep the price lower every time.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

It is great to make an affordable range for eczema prone skin. This has all of the possible skincare products you may require. The fragrance is fairly nondescript which is standard for sensitive skin. The shampoo and wash are good and leave my son's hair nice and soft.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

Having a full range means I can ensure all of the products I use are suitable for both my children. It is easy to put on and almost 1/4 of the price of some alternative brands. My son hasn't had a flare up whilst using this product and his dry patches are slowly improving.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

Make a bubble bath type as my eldest loves his bubbles. If this could have a little foam action it could help me bath my toddler without the battle of wills about bubbles.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

These products are so natural they are almost like applying nothing to your baby's skin.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

You know that you can trust this range to be kind to skin so you don’t need to spend time checking the ingredients and worrying about allergens and irritations.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

The design of the packaging whilst being simple to reflect the basic and natural ingredients, tends to give off and air of a value range instead.

Tested by mum Caroline Tedford for the M&B Awards 2016:

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

The Little Angels Sensitive Bath products are great to use.  Simple clear packaging, decent price, and no nasties to harm my little baby’s sensitive skin.  I particularly liked massaging the Dry and Sensitive Moisture Cream into their little bodies.  It was non sticky and absorbed easily.  The twins enjoyed the Bath and Body Wash for all the bubbles.  Will certainly recommend these products.  Excellent value for excellent care!

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

It makes life easier for me using baby products that are a good price and safe for babies' sensitive skin.  It's always a relief when products don't produce any skin irritation.  These will become a bathtime staple.

Tested by mum Emma Gibbs for the M&B Awards 2016:

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

Yes, excellent value for money, easy and simple to use. Loved the liquid talc, a must-have for any new baby.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

Again the liquid talc was excellent. No mess like with normal talc covering everything in white powder, melted into skin perfectly.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

Nothing, great items and great value.

Tested by mum Katie Knowles for the M&B Awards 2016:

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

Very good value for money. easy to use. Very good on sensitive skin. Most products bring baby and toddler out in rash and cause dry skin but no sign of that. Smells nice.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

It is easy to use.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

Packaging could be more appealing, if I came across this in supermarket I may have bypassed it as it looks about cheap.

Tested by mum Faye Jones for the M&B Awards 2016:

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

I really liked  using these products in and after the bath and loved the selection of products as they came in such a wide selection and range of different items including oils and creams, body washes and lotions that were able to be used as part of a routine during and after bath time

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

These products made our lives easier as my daughter has quite sensitive skin and as these were kind and gentle on her skin, when her hair was washed and soap went in her eyes it didn’t make them sting or make them red and the smells in the products were not harsh.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

There isn’t anything I would change about this range as the price point is great and the products are all simple to use without any side effects for children with sensitive skin which we love as my daughter flares up to some harsher items on the market.

Tested by dad Richard Barnes for the M&B Awards 2016:

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow parent?

A fantastic range covering all the usual items you will need to keep your little one clean and safe. Amazing quality at a fantastic price. Sensitive with no fragrances or colours so safe for everyone to use. Easy to hold and apply containers and the size and shape makes them great for taking on holiday or slipping in the changing bag.

How does this product make your life easier as a dad?

Provides a complete range of sensitive toiletries you can trust so saves time and money and keeps your little one clean and safe.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

Put the extra dry bottom powder in a plastic container not a cardboard one.

Tested by mum Maria Xydhias-Mace for the M&B Awards 2016:

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

These products are fantastic for little ones with sensitive skin. The packaging is a bit bland but the products are excellent. They are ultra-mild yet effective, the creams are easy to rub in and are non-greasy. They are completely none scented or perfumed. Even with eczema my little one has had no reactions to these products and is helping to maintain his skin by keeping it hydrated

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

Lovely products to use, before during and after bath time.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

The packaging could be more inviting.

This has a lovely vapour not too strong but enough to help sort out stuffy noses. You do not need to use too much so will be good value for money and it comes in a large bottle so should last.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

It passed my toddlers bubble test, so he is happy for it to be used in his bath as well as for my baby. This will be a favourite bath wash for cold season at nursery.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

If possible make it organic.

Tested by Chris Brotherton for the M&B Awards 2016:

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow parent?

I’m really impressed. Lovely sweet packaging which would be lovely in a new born hamper, very plain items but they are great on sensitive skin so this is a good thing. The cream was so moisturising and like silk to use, it really felt like it was doing the skin good. I especially liked the cream to powder item.

How does this product make your life easier as a parent?

It saves time at the supermarket for me as I can buy baby skin care whilst doing the food shop.
