Plein de Vie On-the-Go Remedy Stick Review

plein2-vert

With 2 little boys, I have certainly had my fill of bug bites, scrapes, and bumps this summer.  I recently found a product called On-the-Go Remedy Stick from Plein de Vie.  First a little about Plein de Vie:

pdv-logo

Plein de Vie was created with the idea that skincare can be both luxurious and organic.

While searching for high-end organic skincare products to add to the gift sets of her online gift boutique, Spoiled Rotten Baby, Shelly Holbrook came up short. She found products that were either high-end or organic, but never both.

Instead of giving up, Shelly took the knowledge and experience with essential oils and aromatherapy she gained as a labor doula and decided to create her own line. Every recipe has been carefully formulated by Shelly herself and is handmade in small batches to ensure high standards in quality. By choosing only the finest oils, botanicals, and butters, and rejecting inexpensive fillers and chemical-laced ingredients, Plein de Vie has quickly come to be known as a safe alternative for popular luxury skincare lines.

Meaning “Full of Life” in French, Plein de Vie truly encompasses its motto of Beauty, Spirit, and Passion. Find Beauty, Nurture your Spirit, Live with Passion – be Plein de Vie!

What is the On-the-Go Remedy Stick?

  • Uses include: bumps, bruises, scrapes, cuts, sunburn, windburn, rashes, chapped lips, bug bites, mild eczema, skin irritations, diaper rash, itchy skin, baby massage, razor burn, and ragged cuticles
  • Available in 0.5 ounce net weight size, designed for convenient use in a twist-up tube. Small enough for a diaper bag, purse, or first aid kit!
  • Made with 85% Certified Organic ingredients

  • Non-organic ingredients include: Candellila Wax (Vegan alternative to beeswax), Vitamin E, and Sea Buckthorn Berry Extract (cold-pressed from the seeds

My take:  I really like this product.  It is pretty big (if I make a fist it fits in my hand with the cap sticking out).  I love how convenient it is.  I simply toss it in the diaper bag and go.  I have used it on bug bites, scrapes, bruises, and chapped lips for the boys and myself and we have no complaints.  It has a nice smell and is super easy to apply.

The On-the-Go Rememdy Stick from Plein de Vie retails for $12.99
