I relied on products to nurture and support me from the Earth Mama Angel Baby line during both of my postpartum times.  The quality of everything they create is consistently high and they are dedicated to making a healing difference in the lives of new mothers everywhere. 

 

Earth Mama Angel Baby® created the only line of 100% natural skin and body care products to support the entire birth process: pregnancy, labor, postpartum and c-section recovery, breastfeeding, baby care and even the loss of a baby. They produce pure, natural products and gifts for pure, natural mamas and babies!

Earth Mama Angel Baby’s pregnancy, childbirth and baby products were born of their sincere faith in the natural process of birthing babies. Supporting the pure process naturally with nature’s gifts makes sense. Pregnancy is not an illness, merely a phenomenal process that has many wonderful and sometimes difficult stages. Why not trust in the wise women who have historically exalted the glories and eased the common discomforts of pregnancy naturally?

 

Earth Mama Angel Baby uses the highest-quality, certified-organic or organically grown herbs and oils for teas, bath herbs, gentle handmade soaps, salves, lotions and massage oils. Their products are 100% toxin-free, cruelty-free, vegan, and free from all artificial preservatives, fragrances and dyes. They have a commitment to honor the earth and her valuable resources, right down to their packaging — using only eco-friendly recyclable or reused/reusable packaging and packing materials. It’s true – they are even the proud recipients of the BRAG (Business Recycling Award Group) for their green practices.

Just as our foremothers did, Earth Mama Angel Baby honors the ancient knowledge of natural and herbal remedies and plant medicine. The wisdom we rely on has been passed down from great-grandmother to grandmother to mother to daughter, which we combine with the safety and assurances of contemporary evidence-based research.

The mamas (and honorary-mama papas) at Earth Mama Angel Baby are a dedicated and diverse group of nurses, herbalists, labor and postpartum doulas, childbirth hypnotherapists, childbirth educators, women, mothers and grandmothers, along with a father or two.

They strive to provide research, tools and products to empower women with knowledge about the earth’s natural resources for nurturing ourselves and our angel babies.
