When I fell pregnant with my first baby (Alex, now 5) I looked for baby products that were chemical free, and was so disappointed to find such a limited number of products, which were often difficult to find, too expensive, or offered misleading information that I just couldn’t trust.
I was so tired of ‘pretend organic’ companies misleading consumers with clever marketing which enabled them to promote ‘natural’ and ‘organic’ claims without really having formulations that abide by this claim.
So of course I did what any mum would do - I decided to make my own range that meets with all my expectations! It was a little bit crazy, but something I was incredibly passionate about. I made it my mission to provide consumers with a natural, safe skincare product for babies that can effectively treat stressful skin conditions.
I started by making creams by myself in the kitchen. I drew on my studies and experience in health therapies (Remedial Massage and Aromatherapy) and after a long 10 months of trial and testing I formulated a nappy rash cream, massage lotion, massage oil, body powder, body and hair wash, vapour rub balm and organic soap. This range can also successfully treat a wide range of childhood health and skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis.
As we grew I outsourced all my manufacturing and had the product range certified by one of the world's leading organic certification bodies – Australian Certified Organic (ACO), I’m proud to say today I am on the Committee Board of BFA Cosmetic Advisory Group.
It was really important to me to have the Little Innoscents range Australian Certified Organic, because it makes a statement about who Little Innoscents is… it means everything to us and gives our consumers the assurance that our products have been manufactured and handled according to strict guidelines - completely free of chemicals.
Since I started the business I’ve had another baby – Antonio (now 2), and continue to look after both my children from home while running the company.
Today the Little Innoscents range is stocked in over 600 stores nation wide. It is available at Priceline, health food stores, pharmacies and most recently Thomas Dux organic grocers.
Please enjoy the divine Little Innoscents range that has come to you from the results of a long labour of love, hard work and passion!
