    DIY After-Swim Chlorine Neutralizing Spray

    Summer is the best time of the year to go swimming! Unfortunately, summer is also the worst time for chlorine. Some of the unwanted benefits of chlorine is that it dries out your hair and your skin- which is never fun to deal with in the hot summer heat. But good news! We have a DIY After-Swim Chlorine Neutralizing Spray that is simple to make and is perfect to keep in your bag when you go to the pool this season.


    Ingredients:

    1/4 Cup Filtered Water

    1/4 Teaspoon Powdered Vitamin C

    Essential Oils (we recommend using 1 drop Orange)

    2 Ounce Blue Glass Spray Bottle


    Method:

    1. Add water to glass spray bottle.

    2. Add powdered vitamin C to spray bottle.

    3. Add drop of essential oil.

    4. Put lid on bottle and shake to combine.

    5. Add to hair and/or skin after swimming and rub in. Shower as usual when you return home.

    NOTE: You might want to use this solution within 1-2 days of making it as it might lose its effectiveness afterwards.

    Calling All Mamas! Say Hello to Earth Mama Organics

    Earth Mama Organics created an entire line of herbal products for women who take on the journey of motherhood: starting with pregnancy, to postpartum, to breastfeeding, and finally baby care. Their five core beliefs stand tall as the pillars of their company and ensures that every product does not land in the hands of a mother unless they are perfect. The core beliefs are as follows: 1) Do No Harm; 2) Nature is Our Pharmacy; 3) Education Empowers; 4) Honor the Body’s Integrity; and 5) Mamas Need One Another. Whether your a mama, a mama-to-be, or know a future mama, check out some of these Earth Mama Organics products that we carry on our shelves! If you can’t decide which product to get your mama-to-be, grab a Basil Bandwagon Gift Card so they can make the decision!

    For the Mamas

    Morning sickness is no joke! Check out their Morning Wellness Body Wash created with natural ginger citrus for that uplifting feeling. Worried about stretch marks? Their Belly Butter and Belly Oil help ease the stretch marks and keep your skin moisturized!

    For the Babies

    Diaper rash is real and raw- make sure you grab their Diaper Balm to help keep your baby’s bottom smooth and safe. To keep the rest of their little body’s soft like their bottom, check out their Natural Non-Scents Body Wash, Natural Non-Scents Baby Lotion, and Sweet Orange Baby Lotion.

    For the All Day Comfort

    Their deodorants not only keep you smelling fantastic and fresh, but they are formulated especially for pregnancy, breastfeeding, and sensitive skin. We carry all of their scent too- Calming Lavender (fresh, effective, and soothing), GingerAid (to help with that brutal morning sickness), Natural Non-Scents (for sensitive noses), and Bright Citrus (for a fresh tangerine-y scent).

    For the Fun in the Sun

    Keeping you and your loved ones safe with their NEW SUN CARE! Dermatologist and Pediatrician approved, they are clinically tested for irritation. All four of their sunscreens are reef-friendly broad spectrum SPF 40 and covers all moms, kids, and babies too! What’s really exciting is their KIDS Uber-Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen Lotion features organic colloidal oatmeal to keep your skin moisturized and soothed from eczema, bug bites, previous sunburn, and other inflamed skin conditions.
