Seventh Generation Free & Clear Baby Sample Kit

Salutations Cuppies,

Around the same time I received three samples of Free & Clear laundry detergent, I also received a fun little baby sample kit from Seventh Generation to give my honest opinion.

In my life I have pursued a career and education with children for six years plus I have learned a lot about the products that mothers and caregivers alike care about for their little ones. Learning more about Seventh Generation, I am excited to pass this information along and also keep in mind for when I am ready to start a family of my own.


The packaging of each of the three products I received are incredibly adorable and would definitely be something that would catch my eye. Although the packaging is adorable, it’s so much more than that. I was glad to learn about how each product is made, and how they not only keep your baby in mind, but also the parents and the environment.





The Free & Clear diaper is made for a baby’s sensitive skin, ultra-absorbent and contains zero percent lotions or fragrances. I received two pairs of size 1 diapers, and out the bag they are noticeably soft inside and out. I like the fact that the quilted liner inside expands with more surface area to catch everything. The liner is evidently well thought out with a quilted design and softer material for newborns up to size 2, and is also made with unbleached cotton. The tabs are large enough and easy to use. The best feature, in my opinion, is that each diaper is made with sustainable sourced materials (wood fluff pulp) meaning it’s natural, renewable and biodegradable. Thinking about how many diapers get dumped into a landfills in a year this is a step in the right direction to reduce waste.









I pleasantly surprised that the texture was silky smooth and great for a baby’s sensitive skin, and it spreads very easily. Just using a small dime size goes a long way and instantly my hand felt cool, hydrated and soft to touch. There is a very faint scent of coconut from the organic coconut oil. It’s made from sustainable ingredients that are plant-based so it’s great it contains NO sulfates, phthalates, parabens, formaldehyde donors, mineral oil or petrolatum. Overall, a lightweight, lightly scented moisturizer from a trusted brand.





I can’t even count how many wipes I have used in a day at the daycare, so I know the importance of how a good wipe handles any situation, from an unfortunate blowout to an icky nose. These wipes are labeled fragrance free and I truly don’t smell anything. I think it is unnecessary for wipes to have a fragrance anyways because it just adds useless chemicals. These are made for sensitive skin like most products from Seventh Generation. It’s very important to think about the ingredients because every time you wipe you are essentially applying it directly onto your baby’s delicate skin. What’s great about Seventh Generation, unlike other major brands, is that it does not contain Phenoxyethanol (a chemical compound that can be an irritant to the skin). With that said, it also removes other harmful chemicals such as alcohol and parabens. Out of the packaging the wipes are definitely thicker than most I have used, but I love the fact that you are able to clean up more with a single wipe and still have the softness factor.




Overall, I'm very satisfied and thankful try out the sample pack I received from Generation Good. It’s a brand that I now trust and will turn to when I do have little bundles of my own someday. I love the transparency and the effort Seventh Generation gives to its products, consumers and production of the materials with sustainability and safeness in mind.

Seventh Generation Free & Clear Laundry Detergent



Happy Holiday's cuppies!!


I was fortunate enough to try Seventh Generation Free & Clear laundry detergent for free in 3 small fun packages for my honest review.

I love that Seventh Generation stands behind it's products that are made better not only for us as consumers, but for the environment overall. The Free & Clear detergent is all natural that contains no dyes, optical brighteners or synthetic fragrances. It's not only great for people with sensitivities, but for anyone really. All the ingredients are listed on the bottle (even the sample pack) as to inform the consumers what's in their detergent is safe. #comeclean

The ingredients are plant-based and USDA Certified 97%. To be honest I was a little skeptical about being all plant-based and being able to clean sufficiently, but I was pleasantly surprised after using the samples through different loads (types) of laundry. I decided to try the samples on colors, darks and whites to see if I would notice a difference in any load.

The sample size was just the right amount for a medium/large load of laundry. There is no scent to the product and the liquid detergent is clear in color. It's made for HE washer like ours, but will work just as well for regular washers.

I am impressed with the results from all 3 loads of laundry. There was a fresh neutral scent (not perfume) before loading into the dryer and I'm happy to say all my clothes came out clean and soft.  It's definitely a brand I will be switching over with trusted natural ingredients, a honest company and to help out the environment in the long run.
