Well, she’s no Michael Phelps. The swimming pool was not a huge hit with my 4-month-old baby, Poppy. She really likes taking a bath, so I’m assuming she didn’t enjoy the temperature of the water at the pool or the crowd of people staring at her. Regardless of her opinion, I knew it wouldn’t be a long trip to the pool because my pediatrician recommended avoiding sunscreen for the first 6 months because of the chemicals.
I’ll be honest, that freaked me out. First, what did I lather all over my first two children when they were babies? Second, do I really want to subject her delicate skin to the who-knows-what when she’s 6 months and a day? I try to be on top of these things. I choose organic when buying fruits and veggies from the “Dirty Dozen,” I use filtered water, I make sure everything’s BPA-free.
Trying to protect our families can be a huge undertaking, and obviously I’ve got lots of research to do. One way to lighten the workload for parents is to stick with brands you trust. That said, I was thrilled when I was selected to become an Earth Mama ambassador. For 30 days, I’m swapping out our normal personal care products in exchange for products from the Earth Mama Angel Baby line.
All of the ambassadors received a package of products based on their needs, as the line really has something for every family. I received an array of their organic shampoo and body washes in several scents, Angel Baby Bottom Balm, Natural Nipple Butter, and a gift set to share with a friend.
I started out using the soaps on my baby and older children. The foam soap lathers very well, and I only needed a few pumps to wash baby from head to toe. What is best about the castile soaps is what they don’t have. The Earth Mama Angel Baby soaps are:
- free from artificial fragrances, foaming agents, sulfates, preservatives, parabens, and dye
- free from antibacterial pesticides
- all-natural and organic
So, how’s it going so far? I love the foaming nature of the soap! Just a few pumps are more than enough to clean the baby from head to toe. And since each bottle contains enough soap for more than 300 pumps, I know one bottle will last a long time. Another thing I’m loving is the light scents, especially Ginger Grapefruit. Babies smell so yummy on their own, they don’t need a ton of artificial fragrances. The kids are clean, and I’m happy.
But the goodness doesn’t stop there. You can also use the soaps for lots of DIY purposes. Make your own baby wipes, a safe household cleaner, laundry detergent, or a great hand soap.
Being a parent means continuing to learn. I know I’ll continue to figure out which products are better for my family. The Earth Mama Angel baby products have been a hit so far. You can follow along with all of the Earth Mama ambassadors by using the #EarthMama hashtag on all the social media channels.

I cannot wait to see what you think of the product line. I have been curious, and look forward to reading more.
Melanie says
The soaps have been great. I’m using the bottom balm and loving that too. It’s great not just for diaper rash prevention, but things like dry skin. Goodbye cracked feet!
Sofia says
I’ve heard of Earth Mama before but I have yet to give them a try. Congratulations on your Ambassadorship 🙂
Melanie says
I hope you do. They are amazing!
Jen A says
I don’t have littles anymore, but these products sound great. I love that they don’t have artificial fragrances…my kids were always really sensitive to them!
Melanie says
My baby is by far the most sensitive. The products really have been working well for us. Even though most are labeled for babies, I’ve been using them on my older children & myself.
Julie Cohn says
Congratulations on your new role, what an honor! I love products that are designed special for babies sensitive skin–my son had so many allergies when he was a baby–I would have loved this!
Melanie says
Did he outgrow them? My niece had allergies also. One tricky one is a nickel allergy that meant she couldn’t wear clothes that had snaps touching her skin. So funky.
The line of products covers everybody from pregnancy through adulthood. A little something for everyone!
Jenni says
I wish I had known about products like Earth Mama when my kids were little! I had no idea of the dangers of the products that were meant to protect them! Congrats on being an Earth Mama Ambassador!
Angela says
I haven’t heard of Earth Mama products before. It looks like a great line of personal care items.
Melanie says
They are wonderful, and with no toxins they are wonderful for you.
Victor Goguen says
I commend you for avoiding the harmful chemicals in sunscreen. Our skin actually absorbs a lot of what it is exposed to. That is how those medical patches work.
Melanie says
Thanks, Victor. It is hard to know what is right. Sunscreen seems like a given. I don’t want her to get burned or end up with skin cancer. But a lot of times we are choosing the less dangerous choice out of the options, rather than selecting a safe one. I’m glad to know Earth Mama is willing to commit themselves to products I know I can trust.
Rosey says
I love that just a few pumps of soap does the job. And lol at the Michael Phelps reference. 🙂
Donna says
I would have loved these products when my son was a baby/toddler. And, congrats on being an EarthMama ambasador!
Melanie says
They’ve got products for the whole family, so your son still has an opportunity to love them as much s we do.
Jenn says
Congratulations on your new ambassadorship!
HilLesha says
They have such great products – congratulations on the ambassadorship!

Marcie W. says
I am familiar with Earth Mama Angel Baby but have never tried their products. I definitely look forward to reading all of your thoughts and will be recommending your favorites to my sister so she can introduce them to my toddler nephew and eventually baby number two.
Melanie says
Congrats to your family on the new baby. I’m thrilled so far. My favorites are the bottom balm for babies and the soaps. I gifted a new baby pack to a friend and she’s loving the massage oil for her brand new baby.
