I want to share one of my favorite mama-friendly brands, Earth Mama Organics! When you have a baby you realize you have product needs you didn’t even know you had. It’s a little funny, and a little scary at the same time. While it’s been a few years since I had my first baby, I’m continually amazed by Earth Mama Organic’s breadth of clean products available to mamas!!! Here’s my long overdue Earth Mama Organics Review!
Breastfeeding support
Nipple Butter For All!
Breast feeding is one of the most wonderful things that I’ve ever experienced. It’s also one of the most trying and humbling! You can read about my breastfeeding journey here. One of the things you’ll find is that your nipples need more love than ever! Enter Nipple Butter, non-GMO, and also available in a vegan formula. You’ll get comforting skin relief without side effects for baby.
How to Help Clogged Milk Ducts
Another thing you’ll find when you’re nursing is that you boobs are constantly changing. Some days you’ll find they feel like rocks and are engorged. Other days, you’ll find little lumps of clogged milk ducts. And if you’re really unlucky, you may get mastitits, an infection that doesn’t hurt baby but really uncomfortable for mama. I had it 3 times and it was not fun. Enter Booby Tubes, gel pads that you can heat or freeze depending on what your boobs need that day!
Milk Production
It’s pretty normal to have your milk production ebb and flow, but don’t sweat it! With Organic Milkmaid Tea, you can pump up the volume. Especially within the first 6 weeks of nursing where your body is building the “milk factory”. It’s taking cues about how much milk it needs to produce, and this tea can really help you with it’s tried and true ingredient: Organic Fenugreek! Alternatively, if you need to start wrapping up production and need to wean, Organic No More Milk can help! Of course weaning can be just as tricky as getting to nurse and having help with milk supply is key.
Baby friendly Deodorant
My first Aha moment when it came to cleaning up my products and make the switch to “clean beauty” was literally when I started nursing my firstborn. I couldn’t imagine putting perfume or toxic deodorants on me because he was constantly eating what was on my skin! Even today, when I’m finished with nursing, those kids are still constantly licking me. Please tell me I’m not the only one. LOL. Regular deodorants can be extremely toxic and I urge you to not stop wearing it, but make the switch to Earth Mama Organics! My favorite is the one where my “pits smell like a french lavendar field” this Calming Lavendar deodorant one! And there’s also Citrus, Ginger or no scent or you can try a sample pack here.
The Best Sunscreen for Kids and You!
Lady Face
I don’t know anyone that LOVES putting on sunscreen! It always seems like one extra thankless step in getting the kids outdoors. Not only that, but even for me putting on sunscreen means I’m gonna ruin my make-up or be rubbing it in forever. Especially if it’s “mineral sunscreen” better for you sunscreen. See below for a dramatization of my love for Lady Face! It’s 40 SPF, which is the perfect number if you ask me. 🙂 I love that this mineral miracel doesn’t make my face a ghastly white but instead nicely blends in with my foundation or CC cream! See my dramatization here!
Baby Face
It may be the fun stick it comes in, but my kids love putting Baby Face on! It’s a huge win when you don’t have to chase them to prevent them from getting roasted into bacon from a sunny day. The Baby Face stick is easy to carry and if you’re like me and spill everything in your purse, it’s amazing! The stick has gotten us out of many binds including when I meant to bring the Kid’s Mineral Sunscreen 30 SPF, but only have Baby Face. I can quickly dab it everywhere and we’re good to go. Earth Mama Organics also has a formula for Sensitive Skin.
Along with ease of use, and being pediatrician and dermatologist tested for effectiveness, I LOVE that it’s ocean friendly sunscreen. Without oxybenzone or octinoxate, artificial fragrance, nano particles or parabens, you can rest assured that it’s reef-friendly. Having just come back from Hawaii and seeing way to much plastic on the shores including stuck in reefs, this is powerful! Earth Mama Organics sunscreen also got “rated ONE on the EWG’s Skin Deep Cosmetics Database, the lowest hazard rating a product can achieve”! Amazing. 🙂
Pregnancy & Post-Partum Products
To wrap up my Earth Mama Organics Review I want to share some of the products that are innovative and will support you on your motherhood journey.
Pregnancy Support
For itchy, dry growing bellies check out Earth Mama Organics, Belly Oil and Butter! While stretch marks can be hereditary, prevention is pretty key. These two products can help keep you comfortable and give you the best shot at preventing stretch marks! For morning sickness, Earth Mama Organics’ thoughtful offerings of a Morning Wellness Castille body wash, and Organic Morning Wellness Tea!
Post-Pregnancy Help
Along with the breastfeeding support above, I love their innovative solutions for new moms such as Perineal Spray and Balm and Organic Herbal Sitz Bath. Unless you’re having a C-section, I would just go ahead and put these in cart!
Hope you enjoyed my Earth Mama Organics Review! Even if you aren’t fully embracing making the switch to clean beauty, I think that you’ll feel differently when baby comes. With companies such as Earth Mama Organics, you don’t have to pick between effectiveness, non-toxic and value. Everything I recommended here is at a great price point, and more importantly they are made with mama’s peace of mind of comfort in mind! I know that long after your baby has grown you’ll look to Earth Mama Organics for your family and new moms in your life! Love, Z
