  • No Nasties!

    This hand soap is incredible. For those who don’t know, many soaps on the shelves contain toxic preservatives and fragrances that can lead to health issues. But don’t worry! This Freshwater Farm range has simple ingredients and is scented with real essential oils. Made here in Australia.

    I would highly highly recommend you to check the ingredients of your soap and swap out the nasties for this gorgeous product.

  • Best smelling soap

    I hands down love this soap. It's so huge and generous it smells divine and makes my skin feel amazing. I couldn't recommend it enough. I purchased it to try and have kept buying it.

  • Beautiful range of products

    Wow, the products in the Freshwater Farms range are absolutely beautiful! I feel like I've walked right out of a spa day after using them.

    They have a fresh, clean scent to them and are quite gentle on my skin - my skin gets irritated really easily if I use the wrong products but these didn't irritate me at all.

    My skin felt clean, hydrated and soft after each use which is something that's really important to me especially with the ageing process, I want something a little more gentle which is what this brings.

    I love how simple but pretty the packaging is as well so they would definitely make a lovely gift.

  • Beautiful Australian made products

    I adore these products, the smell divine and my skin feels so nourished after using them, the product is nice and thick. My bathroom smells amazing just by having the products in there. My only advice is the products are beautifully packaged but once the body wash label gets wet it starts to peel off. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone.

    I’m in love with the Freshwater farm products! When I opened the box – the scent was just amazing. I love how it’s an Australian family owned and operated. The product benefits the skin and also includes distilled essential oils. It leaves your skin smooth smelling lovely. The product is also not tested on animals. Beautiful product x

  • Beautifully scented and very moisturising

    A beautifully packaged product which has a lovely lemon oil scent. Due to Covid, we have been using way more hand wash than ever before! And my skin is definitely paying for the constant hand washing. We were using a general antibacterial hand wash before we tried Freshwater Farm and it has made such a difference! Not only does it look lovely on my sink but it has also added so much moisture back to my hands. I am not a massive fan of bars of soap as I don’t like the dry feeling they leave on my skin but this bar definitely doesn’t do that and has the same lovely scent ☺️ Having a toddler and being pregnant with my second has also made me open my eyes to the amount of chemicals added to a lot of the products we use on our skin so to find a lovely scented product that is free from nastiest and Australian made was a real bonus! Would definitely recommend this product ☺️

  • Finally a Soothing and hydrating hand wash

    The Lemon myrtle oil + Manuka Honey castile hand wash is soothing on my hands. Being rich in antioxidants and hydrating properties I can wash away the day and not worry about my dry hands cracking.

    Have I mentioned how delicious it smells AND it's Australian made.

  • WOW! Just WOW!

    The first word that came out of my mouth when I first used the Freshwater Rose Water and Pink Clay handwash was "WOW". This is a premium quality product that is so gentle on the skin. The amount of lather on the hand after using a tiny drop of the handwash, that wonderful rosewater and clay smell... that just leaves you with a happy feeling. And top of that, the fragrance stays with you after you wash your hand. My whole bathroom is fragranced. Love this product. Superb stuff. And , the this not tested on animals, is natural. These guys have ticked all the boxes of making it a great product.

    We have been using the Freshwater Farm soaps for a while know and love them. I try had to reduce chemicals in our home so that’s why I tried these. They have clean ingredients so I know that our bodies won’t suffer by using them. We love that they haven’t got an overly strong smell but are still beautiful.

  • The rose soap is DIVINE!

    Not your typical rosy scented bar of soap, this is different, it felt like showering in a field of roses. Moisturising and soft, it was effective as well as didn’t strip away all moisture from my body. Will definitely purchase again and try the range of products. Good for the whole family.

    Loving freshwater farm castille hand wash in lemon myrtle. The bottle is nice and the gel smells is lemony myrtle-y. Been enjoying hand washing no matter how frequent I do it because it does not dry out my skin. It maintains the softness by moisturising it, so soft that the towel glides.

Topics

Mum-of-two Rebecca McCracken has spent the last four years reading ingredient lists on pretty much everything she buys at the supermarket.

Like many parents raising kids with food allergies, a quick trip to the supermarket often means checking labels, comparing products and hoping to find something the whole family can eat.

Bec’s four-year-old son and 17-month-old daughter were both born with cow’s milk protein allergy. While her son has since outgrown his allergies, her toddler still reacts to dairy, making even everyday staples like bread a challenge.

“Unless we buy expensive sourdough for seven or eight dollars, we don’t really have a choice.”

Even then, it’s not ideal.

“A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich,” Bec laughs. “And fairy bread on sourdough is not great.”

A New Loaf On The Block

Bec runs an online community for allergy families, so she spends plenty of time sharing recipes, product finds and supermarket discoveries with other parents.

It was one of those parents who first told her about new JUST bread.

“A follower messaged me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, this bread is coming soon.’ I was like, ‘Where? When? I need to know. I’m getting my car keys and running!'”

Made with baker’s flour, water, yeast, vinegar, oil and salt, JUST bread contains no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours.

For Bec, it sounded almost too good to be true. “When we saw JUST bread, I was like, ‘You’re joking.’ A bread that’s fresh baked but in the bread aisle? That’s unheard of for us.”

“It was really exciting for our family and for the allergy community.”

The Family’s Toughest Critic Approved

Of course, there was one person whose opinion mattered more than anyone else’s.

“My toughest critic is my daughter. She is so fussy. We know something is really good if she approves it, and she approves it. She loves it. She’ll eat it plain, toasted, as French toast … whatever. She loves it.”

Bec says she was impressed too.

“I like it. I like that it’s only got minimal ingredients and doesn’t have the additives and preservatives that are in a lot of other brands.”

A Simpler Option For Everyday Families

Bec tried out JUST bread because of her family’s allergies, but she says it has a broader appeal.

“I think everyone is becoming more conscious of additives and preservatives in their food.”

It’s a feeling many of us can probably relate to. We don’t all want to overhaul the way we eat, but plenty of us are paying a little more attention to ingredient lists and looking for products that keep things simple.

Bread is one of those foods that’s always around. It ends up in lunchboxes, on the breakfast table, alongside soup on a cold night and covered in hundreds and thousands at birthday parties. When we eat something that often, it’s only natural to wonder what’s in it.

JUST bread keeps things simple with a handful of pantry ingredients and no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. It’s the sort of loaf that fits easily into busy family life without asking us to compromise on taste or convenience.

Little Changes, Big Difference

 

For Bec, finding a loaf of bread her whole family can enjoy is about more than ticking another item off the shopping list.

“It seems like such a little thing to the normal community, but for us this is a massive win.”

Being able to make sandwiches without worrying about ingredients. Packing lunchboxes a little more easily. Bringing back fairy bread for birthdays. Sometimes it’s the little things that make family life feel a whole lot simpler.

And while Bec found JUST bread because she needed another allergy-friendly option, its simple ingredient list is likely to appeal to plenty of other families too. After all, when we can choose everyday foods made with ingredients we recognise, that’s a pretty good place to start.

JUST Bread is made on a line that also processes soy and sesame.


Mouths of Mums is proudly working with JUST. to bring you this article. JUST bread is made with just a handful of pantry ingredients.  JUST. The Good Stuff.

  • It’s at a good price point for families on a tight budget and is “cleaner” but missing the mark with Canola oil . I wouldn’t be running to a supermarket for it but it’s alot better than other varieties on the market. It’s nice to see supermarkets are at least trying and listening

    Reply

  • Most breads are dairy free anyway so I am surprised by this article. Additive free is a bonus. I always go for a grain bread nowadays and have the kids eating it too so I’ll be sticking with that. It’s always great to have variety out there though for the ones that need it.

    Reply

  • We bought this bread from the supermarket and it is a good price for bread which of course can indeed be expensive. Each slice is a good size and our favourite meal to create and eat with this bread is cheese toasties. The bread holds and is good to eat.

  • I am so glad to hear about this and will definitely be on a look out for this in the supermarket. I have noticed that there are starting to be more ‘cleaner’ products in the supermarket, meaning consumers are being heard. We are going full circle back to how foods use to be produced before companies got greedy and started taking shortcuts to producing food items. I hope we continue seeing more preservative and additive free options that are affordable come back in the supermarkets.

  • Grabbing your car keys and running for a bread ?? I can’t imagine doing so for a bread lol ! It’s nice to see that more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and put on the market.
    I don’t agree with the statement that “A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich”. It depends on what type of bread you introduce to your kids. My kids grew up with 7 seeds, rustic bread and sourdough and they love it. It’s also quite easy and cheap to make sourdough bread yourself.

    Reply

  • I haven’t seen this bread in the supermarket but will be looking for it now. I have been trying to avoid preservatives and additives for some time now and as highlighted in the article bread it difficult to find, or super expensive, without them so I don’t have it often.

    Reply

  • This is fantastic, finally a bread that is not full of nasty stuff. I will be going straight out to buy this. My son has ARFID and will only eat white bread, but it’s not terribly healthy. With this bread, at least I know that it is much healthier than the alternatives. Woohoo

  • what about gluten is it gluten free thats what i need

    Reply

  • I cant wait to give this bread a go (so far its always been sold out at my local woolies so it must be good). So good its suitable for those with allergies too. I think nowadays were all looking for cleaner options of ingredients in our foods so this is a step in the right direction.

  • I am glad more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and offered. I don’t agree with Bec’s statement that kids don’t like sourdough bread. My kids were introduced to sourdough and the most rustic and seeded breads from the time they started to eat bread, and they love it

    Reply

  • Oh I cannot wait to try this bread! We go through that much bread each week and I always feel so guilty with how much my kids have – not anymore! Would love to see them introduce other variants in the future – multigrain and gluten free would be superb!

    Reply

  • This is such a great product that I’m looking forward to trying! I’ve only been buying bread from bakeries the last few years because grocery store bread texture was so dense and unpleasant. But the hassle with bakery bread is I can’t get it everywhere! I’ll be really keen to give this a go
