Healthy Skin Swaps: Diaper Balm

Healthy Skin Swaps: Diaper Balm
Diaper balm. It's a newborn staple, that perhaps you hadn't even heard of or given any thought to before having a baby. Maybe you didn't get your first tube or jar until your baby got their first rash. Like everything else for baby, there are so many choices when picking a product to soothe and protect their little bum. You may not have even known that this choice mattered. But we, as organic baby skin care experts, are here to tell you that it does matter. And we are going to break it down for you here! Continue reading

Introducing our 100% natural Bath Bombs

Introducing our 100% natural Bath Bombs
Finally! TRULY natural bath bombs have arrived! Bath Bombs are fun and restorative for all ages, but it's really difficult to find those that check off all the boxes. Most use some form of artificial fragrance and color, as well as a variety of other questionable ingredients that we can't pronounce. These ingredients can irritate sensitive skin and noses - unnecessarily. Plus they aren't great for the planet. Continue reading

Embracing Change + Gratitude in 2020

Embracing Change + Gratitude in 2020

Every year, I write a Thanksgiving message before the festivities begin. These festivities usually involve a cooking frenzy (I'm always overly optimistic about what I can realistically accomplish on the actual day), the sounds of kids and cousins playing together, excitement about seeing family we don't see often enough, trouble-shooting last minute details for our Black Friday sale, and holiday music or the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade playing in the background.

This year things are different. And I'm happy about it.

Zoe Organics X Nurtured 9

Zoe Organics X Nurtured 9

It doesn’t need to be a holiday (although winter festivities will be here before we know it!) to let a special Mom-to-be know you’re thinking of her. During these unique times, Moms-to-be are enduring more stress than ever and since we can’t necessarily be there to care for them in person these days, it’s important that we encourage them to make time for self-care.

We started Nurtured 9 in hopes of helping expectant Mamas enjoy their pregnancy journey by doing the stressful legwork of ingredient research, safety & efficacy for them. While everyone is focused on baby, we wanted to focus on Mom!

2 DIYs To Help Expecting Mamas Chill Out This Summer

2 DIYs To Help Expecting Mamas Chill Out This Summer

Pregnancy is miraculous. You are growing a human being inside your own body! If you didn’t think your body was amazing before, I hope you do now. So many things are happening as your pregnancy progresses; increased circulation creates that pregnancy “glow”, your ligaments relax, and your blood volume increases by a whopping 50%! 

If you are pregnant during the summer, you are probably familiar with normal swelling due to increased blood and fluids, called edema, which most commonly affects the feet, ankles, face, and hands. Carrying extra weight puts added stress on your feet and ankles, which results in some seriously aching feet and legs.

Well, mama, we’ve put together a few easy DIY recipes just for you!

NEW! Insect Repellent Spray, Repel Blend and Refill!
Insect Repellent certainly doesn't seem like the most exciting or glamorous product, but if you have ever tried to enjoy a warm summer evening outside and have been eaten alive by mosquitoes, you know how valuable a good repellent is. But nobody likes to smell stinky, or feel sticky, or knowingly slather questionable toxins on their skin. So we choose between what we consider to be the lessor of two evils. Well, now you don't have to!  Continue reading
