"great range of products"
I was really lucky to be able to test the SOS range. The products are great. The skin rescue cream is a must for any one with dry, itchy, cracked, or irritable skin, also for Eczema, Psoriasis and Dermatitis. Its great to use anywhere on the body and you can use it as a face mask too. The cream can be used on babies, children and adults, the smell is really nice and is suitable for men and women. This cream really eased my dry skin and was not at all greasy, I was even able to use it on my face with no reactions at all. The Moisturising Bath Oil
is lovely again it can be used on all ages and skin types. It leaves the skin very soft and moisturised. It has a lovely orange blossom smell which has a calming effect and the bath is really easy to clean after using unlike some of the bath emollients Ive used in the past, you can also use the oil for a foot soak. The Moisturising Face & Body Wash is fantastic, it has a fresh smell and gently cleans the skin again leaving no irritation, its suitable for all ages and skin types and is really good as a baby bath. The Foot Rescue Balm is absorbed into the feet really easily after just 1 week of using this my feet were soft, its great if you suffer from Athlete's Foot as it contains antifungal Neem, Garlic and Zinc. You can also use this as a foot mask.The Antiseptic Rescue Spray is a must for the medicine cabinet or for keeping in your handbag. You can use it on cuts, grazes, burns, bites and stings. I keep it in the fridge it makes the affect really soothing, its also great for puffy feet. The Hair & Scalp Rescue Shampoo was great for my son, his head gets very ithcy with normal shampoos and this made such a difference from the 1st time he used it. I found the smell a bit too strong but my 14 year old son loved it. His hair looks very healthy and shiny and his dry flaky scalp has been replaced by a healthy looking scalp. The Hair & Scalp Rescue Conditioner was also really good for my son it conditions the hair and eases the scalp. Again it can be used by all ages and can be used as an intensive treatment. I found the smell a bit too strong but the results are fantasic. My favourite product has to be the skin rescue cream. The products are expensive but they do go a long way and they are worth their money. I have noticed a big improvement in my skin I no longer feel itchy and all the dry skin I had has gone. I can see a really big improvement in my sons skin and scalp his eczema has improved and his scalp has really improved. His skin looks so healthy. I will be buying more products from barefoot botanicals as Ive seen the difference it has made and Im confident that all the products tehy sell will be of quality. The barefoot botanicals site is also great with lots of tips on how to get the best from the products they sell there is also a skincare clinic where you can ask for expert advice.

"you have got to try"
Barefoot Botanicals SOS range
All the products are brilliant.
You can use them on all the family even babies. All the products are 100% natural and work great on dry skins. They all work very well and smell very nice.
On there website they have a skincare clinic that has some really good information on about skin problems and how to help them.
Moisturizing Face & Body Wash
This is a excellent product it leaves skin smooth and fresh and helped my dry legs loads they are now so much smoother and look a lot healthier I also used this on my 2 babies and it left them smelling gorgeous.
Moisturizing Bath Oil
Gives you a nice relaxing bath the smell is great I even put some in for the kids, you can get 20 baths out of a bottle, and it's got a 'blend of 12 botanical oils and vitamins, specially chosen for their therapeutic effect on parched skin'.
Foot Rescue Balm
This product is not greasy and again smells great, it has in it 'invigorating aroma of Peppermint, Tea Tree, Rosemary and Grapefruit. 24 active therapeutic herbal extracts, including MSM, Jojoba, African Shea Butter and Aloe Vera'Â which leaves your feet refreshed. When I first used this I only put in on one foot and I could really tell the difference, it kept my foot nice and fresh even after going to town and all that working about my feet are now nice and smooth.
Skin Rescue Cream
This cream is great and I am defiantly going to be buying more I use it on my legs which I get a bit of psoriasis on and really dry skin and it has really helped but also I have been putting on my face and from a week of doing this I have found that its brought the redness down in my face and I don't have to wear as much make up. You can also use this on nappy rash but didn't work as well as the cream I was already using. also 'it soothes, calms and intensively moisturizes'.
Hair & Scalp Rescue Shampoo & Hair & Scalp Rescue Conditioner
The shampoo and conditioner really helped my scalp and hair I was getting dandruff before and my hair was dry but since been using no dandruff and my hair and my daughters hair have been so shiny and soft and leaved it smelling great I even get my friends to feel how soft my hair is.
Antiseptic Rescue Spray
I haven't used this yet but so impressed with the rest of the range I know when it comes to use it I will be impressed again.
All theses products do what they say on the box they are a bit expensive but I would defiantly buy the rescue cream again and maybe other products from there other ranges, they have great web site they even tell you how to do a facial for all different skin types.

"Fantastic Range"
What can I say this is a fab range.
The shampoo and conditioner just smell so great and leaves my hair so shiny and soft.
The face and body wash leave your skin feeling so refreshed and silky soft.
The bath oil I never tried but gave to my mum to test who was so impressed she asked where she could buy more. She said the smell was relaxing and her skin was left baby soft.
The foot rescue is amazing and at the end of a long day when pregnancy have left my feet swollen there is nothing nicer or more relaxing than my hubby rubbing my feet with this balm. It leaves them soothed and cool.
The antiseptic rescue spay has been well used in a house full of accident prone children, My kids never let me put anything on their cuts and grazes but love this product and the smell.
I would 100% recommend this range to everyone :-)

"Excellent, natural products"
The Barefoot Botanicals SOS range is a 100% natural range of products designed for dry and sensitive skin. They can be used by people with eczema and psoriasis. And they really work! I have tested the whole range during the past few weeks and have been very impressed by them all. They all live up to their promises. The first thing to say is that they all smell gorgeous! They all have a beautiful uplifting fragrance that lingered on my skin and hair all day.
My favourite product was the Skin Rescue Cream. I have incredibly dry skin on my hands, so used this cream as a hand cream. It can be used anywhere on the body though, and can just be applied to specific areas. Within a few days my hands were much smoother and the redness had almost disappeared. The cream also provided a welcome relief from the itchiness that accompanies my dry skin. My hands looked so much better. It's quite a light cream, and absorbs very quickly with just a bit of rubbing in. There is no greasiness at all. It also has a beautiful smell that is quite addictive. I couldn't stop using it! The notes with the cream say that it is ideal for people withdrawing from steroid creams. Steroid creams have been the only creams in the past that have had any real effect on my hands, but I obviously don't like using them for any length of time. As this cream is natural though, it's nice to know that I can safely apply it to my hands every day without worrying about any long-term effects. I wish I'd had this when my eldest daughter had eczema as a baby.
During the test I also had some very dry skin on my face. My skin was very tight and sensitive. I had tried all my usual facial moisturisers but they all stung my face and left it red and sore. I gave the Skin Rescue Cream a try as it says it can be used on the face, and it was great. It was the only cream that didn't sting, and it left my skin much softer. I will definitely be buying more of this cream when the tube runs out!
There is also a Foot Rescue Balm. This is great for the summer as it's very refreshing and left my feet feeling tingling and fresh. After a week of applying this every day my feet felt very soft and the skin looked smooth and even. All ready for my sandals!
The Hair and Scalp Rescue Shampoo smells absolutely fantastic and is the nicest shampoo I've ever used! It was a real pleasure to use it. It lathered up really well, and it's great to know that all those bubbles are natural! It cleaned my hair well and as it's safe for the whole family, I was happy to use it on my toddler too. I will certainly be buying this again. The Hair and Scalp Rescue Conditioner smells wonderful too. It felt strange at first as it has quite a "runny" consistency - I'm used to thick, creamy conditioners, and I wasn't sure how well this would condition my hair. However, I've been using it for nearly two weeks now and my hair is in great condition, so it obviously works!
As you would expect, the Moisturising Bath Oil and the Moisturising Face and Body Wash smell great and are very effective. They both left my skin soft and beautifully fragranced, and didn't aggravate my eczema at all. The Body Wash is very creamy and a little went a long way. Again, these can both be used by all the family so my daughter was able to use these in her bath too.
The last product I was given to test was the Antiseptic Rescue Spray. I didn't have any cause for using this during the time I spent reviewing the products, but having tried the rest of the range I have no doubt that this spray does exactly what it promises. Again it is suitable for all ages. It now stays in my bag so I'm ready for any scrapes and bumps when we are out and about.
I would definitely buy Barefoot Botanicals products in future and would recommend them to others. The products are more expensive than my usual bath products, but they compare favourably to other 100% natural ranges. In fact, I have already visited their website to see what else I can buy!
