It's summertime, summertime, sum, sum, summertime! Not that we have to remind any of you mamas-to-be who are carrying around a whole lot of baby right now. Trust us, your ankles will go back to normal, and soon your internal furnace will cool down. As always, we recommend lots of pampering, and you need look no further than this newsletter for deals on pampering products for healthy mamas and happy babies. We've also got a fun and edifying contest for you, as well as the winning words from our June contest. So ice that tea, elevate those pudgy piggies, and read on for all that… and more!



 

We Are a Zero!

No, no, that's GREAT news! Every Earth Mama Angel Baby product rates a 0 for toxins on the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics' Skin Deep database; the best rating a product can receive. It's pretty remarkable to have an entire product line with a 0 rating, and you can bet we're popping our buttons with pride. We work hard to create the purest, most effective natural and toxin-free products for mamas and babies, and it's great to see those pretty zeros all in a row!

Did someone say toxins?

Here's some fantastic news in the usually herb-shy world of professional nursing. The No More Toxic Tub report prompted the ANA and the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners to sign a letter urging Johnson & Johnson to remove chemicals from their baby products. Read more here: Parents, Doctors, Nurses to Johnson & Johnson: Make Safer Baby Products.

There's even more news about toxins!

We are extremely pleased that Earth Mama Angel Baby products are being used in more and more hospitals to give parents toxin-free options, like Natural Nipple Butter to replace lanolin nipple creams, and Angel Baby Shampoo & Body Wash for baby's first bath! And did you know you can take your own products to the hospital? That's a great, big, beautiful, toxin-free 0 in our opinion!

Sweet words from last month's contest winners!

This month's sweetness comes from three lucky mamas who told us their stories last month and won! Bethany's a fan of soothing Postpartum Bath Herbs, Elizabeth's whole family takes comfort in Morning Wellness Tea, and April loves Angel Baby Shampoo & Body Wash, Angel Baby Lotion, and Angel Baby Bottom Balm, but has an especially great use for New Mama Bottom Spray! Here are their sweet, funny, real-mama stories.

"I have to say your Postpartum Bath Herbs are my new MUST have in my birth supplies. I have gifted it to every expectant friend I know. I think I could give birth with nothing else but this product alone. I enjoyed sitting on towels soaked in it after my last birth but my favorite way to use them is to place the left over "tea" in my peri bottle... I used it every time I would pee after giving birth and I never knew peeing after childbirth could be so pleasant! I healed faster after this last birth (#5) than ANY of my others and I am sure it is thanks to Earth Mama Angel Baby Post-Partum Bath Herbs!"
Bethany

"I bought your Morning Wellness Tea for morning sickness when I was pregnant with my third baby. I found that it takes the edge off of morning sickness but also realized it was good for my hubby and kids when they have an upset stomach or just aren't feeling good. It really does make them feel better and anytime their tummy hurts or they have a stomach bug they ask for a cup of tea!"
Elizabeth

"I got some EMAB products when I was pregnant with my third.  I LOVE these products and wish I would have found them sooner! My little nugget is 13 months old and I'm still using the shampoo, lotion & bottom balm, as needed. I have also found a new use for the New Mama Bottom Spray... facial toner!  Really, it is so nice and refreshing.
Thank you for these wonderfully natural products."
April
