Hot Tot

Up for review today...

Hot Tot Spotless Tot, A very special Thank you to Hot Tot for providing me with this product for review! I was not compensated for this review and all thoughts are my own.

First a background on Hot Tot-

I first heard about Hot Tot products one night while my husband and I were watching Shark Tank. We were listening to Megan Gage (owner/developer) talk about her product line and what made it unique, what really struck us was that it was a natural product, hypoallergenic and lightly scented. As a mom to two little ones with skin issues including Keratosis Pilaris and Eczema, as well as several food allergies including nuts and gluten, it has been really tough for me to find hair and body products for my kids that don't make them break out in a rash or worsen the eczema or KP. As we listened more, Megan spoke to the fact that this was safe for and specifically developed for kids and babies, that it would be perfect to use on kids suffering from eczema, I was hooked!! I watched eagerly to see if anyone made her an offer and sure enough, Mark Cuban did, citing that he had kids suffering with eczema and had many of the same issues we were facing with our kids. Fast forward to today...

I received this product courtesy of Hot Tot, and I am not being paid to write a review or anything of the sort. I am simply a mommy blogger who REALLY wanted to see how this product worked on my kids. Much to my pleasure and surprise, this product has been exactly what I hoped it would be, my go to, safe product for my kids, we have been using it for about a week and we have not encountered any rashes or an increase in issues with eczema or KP, in fact, the eczema on my daughters arms is clearing up a bit. The first thing my daughter said when I used this on her was, " mommy!!! This smells soooo good!!!" I have to agree with her, this product has a great, light scent. On the website it is described as being inspired by cabbage patch kids, and it certainly resembles that scent. It doesn't linger like some other children's products scents do, but you can still smell it on you little ones the next day when you snuggle close.

I tested Spottless Tot on my son first, after a lunch where he got COVERED in yogurt and who knows what else!

After this yucky lunch mess we tested the Hot Tot Spotless Tot for the first time...The results were great! He came clean in one swipe, smelled fantastic, and the Spotless Tot got ALL of the yogurt and gunk out of his hair, which was exactly what I needed, I mean really, what busy mom has time to rewash their kids hair with a second product because the first one didn't work??

It only took four pumps of Spotless Tot to clean him completely from head to toe, which was great!


 My daughter was excited to use this all on her own and be a big girl, the only draw back was that due to her thick hair I had to use several more pumps just on her hair never mind her body. I feel that if I continue to use this on her, I will go through a lot of it because of her hair.
 
Overall, I think this is a fantastic product. I would absolutely suggest to any parent of kids with allergy/skin issues to try this line out. I fully intend to try out more of the products from this line, especially the shampoo and conditioner for toddlers/kids, I think that may be a better fit for my daughters hair care needs.
