Episencial Review and Giveaway

I am so excited to share with you some amazing products that I have just discovered!!!  Both of my children have very sensitive skin.  I can't use scented soaps, perfumes, or bubble baths with either of them.  We have to stick with Dove soap and unscented lotions to help avoid red, itchy skin and rashes. 

When I was contacted by Episencial to review their products, I was very hesitant.  I didn't want to use anything on my kids that would irritate or cause skin problems.  Well, I'm happy to say that Episencial delivered on every claim and is one company that I can safely use with Mallory and Jack.  The most wonderful part of this discovery is that Episencial products can be found at TARGET!!!  I don't have to special order them.  They are available on the shelves of my local Target store.  How wonderful is that?!?!?  Want to know if your local target carries Episencial products?  Click HERE!
