Mum says son with eczema was able to have his first bubble bath thanks to new product

A mum says her little boy has been able to enjoy his first ever bubble bath thanks to a new product.

Annie Burton's two-year-old son George has eczema and she found even sensitive brands would cause a flare up.

But she says the new Once Upon a Foxx range has worked wonders and the youngster can now have a bath filled with bubbles.

Annie said: "After using the bubble bath for the first time I was anxious to see if he had any sort of reaction, I was amazed that there was no sign of any rash or redness.

“He has now used it numerous times with no problems. I have one very happy excited child at bath time every night, the pictures speak for themselves."

The organic range has been launched by Alderley Edge-based mum-of-two Angela Foxx, who spent 18 months developing the items after her daughter Harper, now two, suffered with eczema and sensitive skin.

“Nothing on the market was working so I set out to create an all organic product with only the best natural ingredients," said Angela, also mum to four-year-old Aston.

And Harper and George aren't the only children whose eczema has cleared since using the products.

Three-year-old Carter Fiorini suffered terribly on his arms and body and his mum Gemma shared photos showing before and after he started using the range.

She said: "Once Upon a Foxx products were life changing for us. We tried every product on the market and everything irritated his skin, even products that were supposed to be organic.

"It’s so nice to have some beautiful smelling, foaming products rather than medicated fragrance free yucky ones."

The range includes a foaming shampoo, foaming body wash, bubble bath, body lotion and detangling spray and is made up of completely natural, organic ingredients.

The range, which launched in November, is available online and will soon be available in two big stores, but the details of those can't yet be revealed.
