I recently had the pleasure of trying out some products for babies from a company called Earthwise and I have to tell you all about them.
The company founder, Ava, is originally from Poland and the Earthwise web site tells the delightful story of her years growing up there and her memories of women brewing chamomile tea for soothing eye compresses and making face masks from yogurt and mashed cucumbers. She spent a good deal of time during as a teenager mixing up and applying face and hair treatments made of garden herbs, egg yolks, and cooking oils.
When she came to the US at 21 years old she was temporaily distracted by the glamour and glitz of NYC and the beauty products there and forgot about her polish beauty regimen. She noticed a big difference in her skin and it wasn’t good. She once again to understand why natural is better and her company Earthwise is a reflection of that.
Well, I got to try Safe and Calm Baby Oil with German and Roman Chaomile. My husband liked this stuff so much he swiped it from the baby! I also received the Very Special Baby Powder (talc-free), baby lip balm, and Baby Mango Butter Soap. They are all just heavenly feeling and they smell great.
Not only are the products natural and safe….they are not tested on animals and the only non vegan ingredients used in some products are ethically harvested beeswax and honey.
Tomorrow….for Eco Freebie Friday, I am giving away two Earthwise products so come back tomorrow for your chance to have an Earthwise baby!

I am all about natural products whenever possible…I use Arbonne for my son right now and it’s not cheap…but my son is worth the best….I’m interested to know more about your products and what other moms have to say!
Just a question that I’d like to know : when these products become more and more in demand, how do they ensure that the products used are vegan? I mean, do they just have giant plots of land where they harvest the stuff? What if they can’t keep up with production?
I think there comes a time when they might be tempted to go a mass production way, and start to pick things earlier etc… so, my hope is that they just have a good business model and process to prevent things going that way, while keeping up with demand.
You mentioned that the products were not tested on animals. I’ve seen lots of personal care labeled with this statement. For example shampoos and bath soaps. If the product is labeled with this does that mean the product is safe or at least gentle?
