Feedback:
started using Made4Baby Belly Oil 14 months post the birth of my second child. I still had noticeable stretch marks that were pink and obvious. After just four weeks of using the Made4Baby Belly Oil on a daily (sometimes twice daily) basis on my entire stomach area, my stretch marks had faded to the point where they were no longer visible. The best thing was that while pregnant I hadn’t used any oils because of the fact I was allergic to everything I tried and I had absolutely no reaction to the Made4Baby Belly Oil and not only was I impressed (ok, more than impressed) with the way my stretch marks disappeared, but also with the feel and smell of the product itself it absorbs nicely and not being one for strong aromas was more than happy with the very subtle pleasant smell of the oil.

The Made4Baby Story
I have always loved cosmetics and skincare products. In 2001, James and I took a chance and moved to Paris and I found a job working in the Environmental Health Department of the Organisation for Economic and Co-Operative Development (OECD) drafting reports for toxicologists of the member nations. My eyes were opened to the chemicals that are around us and which we often apply to our skin without even thinking of what is in them and how they can subtly affect us. I began to take note and think more about the impact of these products.

Pregnancy and the birth of our 1st son made me really consider what was going on our skins – I couldn’t believe the shopping list length of ingredients requiredto keep a baby clean! I started researching some of the ingredients and decided to head down the natural path – no petroleum derived ingredients. I wanted a range that had all the natural goodness however it also had to be easy to use, practical (not able to be broken by a busy boy) yet included an element of fun, who said that natural has to be boring! The bather of the baby (Dad & an experienced Product Marketing and Brand Manager) also requested that the “user experience” live up to his expectations.

At this point I decide to create my own range…made4baby. The “4” stands for the decision I made regarding the ingredients (and yes these are common in many baby care ranges):

1. No harsh detergents (which create lather)
2. No petrochemicals (baby mineral oil is derived from crude oil)
3. No artificial fragrances (parfum can have hundreds of ingredients)
4. No parabens (a controversial preservative which we have not included)

We have created some great products, from the Self Foaming Hair and Body Wash (NO Sodium Lauryl Sulphate!) to the Botty Barrier Crème, in a tube – no more double dipping!

Enjoy the products and if you have any comments we would love to hear from you. So here we are taking another chance, hope it is as much fun as our year in Paris!
