Lotion Bars

Lotion bars are a quick and easy way to apply moisturizers.  Made with natural ingredients.

Great year round - in the summer after a long day playing in the sun or a cold winter day playing in the snow.
Great for all ages.  My children love being able to use these!  I can let my preschooler and toddler apply their own without worrying about a huge mess as I would with liquid lotions.


The solid bar will soften when rubbed on your skin or between your hands. Apply to any dry areas like soles of feet, hands, legs, chapped lips or elbows. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.

Welcome!

Welcome to PeanutSqueaks! 

After becoming a mother, my perspective on life has changed in so many ways!  It is amazing how a tiny little person can affect so many aspects of your life!  One thing I've questioned more and more is what ingredients are in the products we use daily or frequently.  Often times we learn something we have been using for a while is not very good for us.  Check out the PeanutSqueaks Lotion Bars for a great moisturizing option!

I hope you enjoy our products as much as we do!  I look forward to hearing about your experience. =)
