Honest Company Review – New Products for September!

I’m really excited about this company, but I’m confused on how the bundle is a great deal. If you pay 35 for 5 products, you are paying 7 dollars per product, and most of the products individually on the website are under 7 dollars. Do you receive multiples of the items you choose in the bundle? Out of the items I was going to add to my bundle, the only one that was over 7 dollars on its own was the laundry detergent.

We looked for safer wipes online for our son to avoid all the bad Parabens and Phenoxyethanol. We discovered this company and were actually seduced by their products and mission statement.

We ordered the Honest “FREE” sample package for $5.95 shipping to get a better idea of what to order in their entire catalogue.

Not only the diapers did not work better than the brand we were using before but they even created a terrible rash on our 16-month old son (or are these their wipes?).
The wipes are dry and stick to each other which must be pretty annoying on the long run.

So we decided not to go that route and look for another brand that would satisfy us and our son better.

Now the worst part begins !!!! What they call a “free trial” ends up being a monthly service where they stuff you for over $160 worth of products before you can even react and cancel it.
There is no actual way to cancel and manage your orders/subscriptions on their website, they force you to call their Customer Service(even an e-mail is not accepted).

We had to stay for 25 minutes on the line before talking to an operator who ended up offering a 15% discount on the bundles !!!
Seriously ??!!!?? You shoveled those products we never ordered down our throats and you don’t accept them back ?

Those $5.95 did cost us over $160 because we did not go and read the fine prints at the very bottom of the page and we are now sitting with all those products that are not suitable for our son.

OUTRAGED !

We even discovered after the fact that their wipes (maybe some other products as well, to be verified) were manufactured in CHINA!!!… How green is that?!?

And they call themselves the HONEST company… that’s ironic !

Love their conditioning mist!!!! My hair is a tangled mess and a few sprays of it and it is easy to comb through!

I buy their shampoo/body wash at Costco. 2 big bottles for $15! I use it on my kids.

Plastic non-refillable bottles wrapped in plastic bags. Hmm – honestly not so eco-friendly.

I LOVE the hand soap. I was skeptical of the body wash since I have super sensitive skin with the tendency to be extra dry. BUT the ingredients are very similar to that of Aveeno (minus the oatmeal) and I love it!

I did email them and ask them to consider making a hand soap refill instead of the waste of so many soap bottles all the time. They said it was ‘in the works’. 🙂 deodorant would be nice. Been using Crystal but it’s not completely aluminum free as it as some other form of aluminum in it.

WOW! I debated on the tote for a long time, I ended up not adding it to my bundle – now I wish I did haha!

I bought the tote but have not received it yet. I’m super excited now after seeing your picture. I wish they would make a deodorant as well!

I’ve been using their SLS-free toothpaste, and I like it.

I’m also waiting for a deodorant!
