Earth Mama Toxin-Free Personal Care & Baby Products

Earth Mama Angel Baby is the Answer

Earth Mama Baby Angel products are toxin free. Personal care products for Mama and Baby should not contain any harmful chemicals and this is the driving force behind Earth Mama Angel Baby's desire to make safe baby care products.

When women decide to get pregnant, they make some lifestyle changes - changes that concern their health and that of their fetus. One of the first things they worry about is whether the personal care and beauty products they are using may contain harmful substances, especially for the unborn. They want to make sure that whatever products they put on their face and skin are toxic-free and made of only the safest ingredients.

Earth Mama Angel Baby is sensitive to the needs of pregnant women - and to all women for that matter. The company has adopted a policy to manufacture and market only those products that are free from toxins and formulated with natural ingredients. This has earned them the "zero" rating in the Skin Deep database, as revealed in cosmeticdatabase.com. This is the web site created by the Environmental Working Group to enlighten consumers about the personal care products they buy.

Melinda Olson is Chief Executive Officer of Earth Mama Angel Baby. She says the response from the science and chemistry fields to public demand for safe and toxin free products was slow at first but it has since picked up the slack. Manufacturers are getting more aware of the urgent need to prevent the breeding and spreading of bacteria and mold found in many products. One of the avenues being seriously considered is the use of raw and organic natural ingredients.

Ms. Olson's pride is mirrored in the zero rating of the Environmental Working Group for Earth Mama Angel Baby products. "We know of no other company that manufactures products for pregnancy or baby care with an entire product line rated a zero. We continually source new raw materials and work on formulations of products that can replace current ingredients with newer, safer ingredients as they become available."

Ms. Olson highlights the safety of chemical processes that go into Earth Mama Angel Baby products. "Preserving products for shelf-life is obviously necessary, and we are not satisfied unless the chemistry used is as safe as possible. In some cases, certified organic ingredients are just not available, so we change our formulations as they become available, or as better alternatives are found."

Ms. Olson adds: "I'm proud to have come this far. It has been a long process, but we will continue to keep sourcing and working with the best new materials available, and our goal is a 100% certified organic product line, certified to the highest standard now available, the USDA NOP."

The USDA NOP was created to certify organic foods but unfortunately their certifications do not include personal care products. Ms. Olson wants the same rigorous standards for organic foods to spill over to the personal care industry. Her company is in discussions with the Organic Trade Association and the American Herbal Products Association to create NOP standards specifically for personal care products.

The Earth Mama Angel Baby company is a Gold Member in the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. In fact it was one of the earliest signers and boasts of 100% compliance with the principles and requirements of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. One such requirement is to register all products in the Skin Deep database and to provide detailed data as to their ingredients. Members of the public who consult the database have access to independent ratings for product ingredients, whether or not these ingredients are in the products of signers or non-signers. Information on company compliance or otherwise is also available in the database.
