“Because I’m a busy mama of three, ages 11 months, 4 and 6, I don’t carry a cute little purse.”
While I’m not anywhere near becoming a mama, I find that most of my friends who are beginning to start families also begin to pay a little more attention to what they put in — and on — their bodies.
This story is also somewhat similar for Heather Hamilton, the founder of green baby products line Zoe Organics.
Though Heather has always had to be cautious about what she put on her gorgeous, sensitive skin (she once had an asthma attack thanks to a bubble bath!), it was her trek into motherhood that has lead her “to make more educated choices with regard to the health and well-being of my family.”

Heather’s line contains only the best ingredients for mama and baby (and auntie, like me!) alike. Nearly all of Zoe Organics’ products score a perfect score of zero on the Skin Deep Database, and aside from her 70-percent organic castile soap washes, all of the other products in the line contain 100 percent organic ingredients.
For all you preggos out there, be sure to check out Zoe Organics’ line of pregnancy products to treat yourself during an exciting time in your life.
If you’ve got a little one in your life, hop on over to Zoe Organics’ line of baby products that will keep those little buns and tootsies fresh, clean and soft.
If you’re like me and just want to try some amazing, clean, organic products, have at it at the whole site! I have sampled several products from the line — look for reviews in the coming weeks!
And, as usual, I’ve starred the items below that I both use and love, too.
Inside Heather’s Diaper Bag
“I am loving my new Timi & Leslie Diaper Bag! This is my favorite of the three diaper bags I have had. It doesn’t have that ‘diaper bag’ look, yet it has all of the diaper bag functionality I need; many compartments, a cute little removable purse, diaper pad, stroller hooks and it feels great to carry.”
“This is the perfect balm for chapped cheeks and lips, bug bites, patches of eczema, scrapes and after-sun moisturizing. I am all about multipurpose products, and this single stick works for a multitude of issues. I love balms, and this one has staying power which I love on my lips.”
“This is hands down the most effective diaper balm I have used (and I’m on my third baby). If used regularly as a barrier, it is very effective against rashes. And when the occasional rash does develop, it is a rockstar in quickly clearing it up. It is made with 100 percent organic ingredients.”
*Dr. Shannon’s Organic Skin Balm
I have had the pleasure of working with rockstar pediatrician, Dr. Michael Shannon, to create this beautiful, incredibly effective balm. It is truly that all-purpose, favorite balm made from powerhouse organic oils like pumpkin seed, rosehip seed, avocado and sunflower. The balm has a silky, creamy texture, and I have been using it to cleanse and moisturize my face several days a week.
Vapour Organic Beauty Siren Lipstick in “Saucy”
This is a staple because even on those days when I haven’t had time to put on makeup, a little lip color does wonders! I love everything I have used from Vapour, and this petite little lipstick, minus the lead, is a must-have.
Lotus Wei Infinite Love Energy Mist
“I discovered this flower spritzer shortly after my third baby was born. I call it my “mommy-time-out mist” because sometimes I just need a little pick-me-up, and the heavenly aroma of rose, red mandarin and honey does the trick. I keep this with me in my purse or at my desk for a quick de-stress.”
Heather’s “Mama Staples”
Trance Essence Nectar Parfum Oil in “Genie in a Bottle”
Although I rarely wear a perfume, I do love to dress up and dab a little something special behind my ears. This natural nectar perfume oil from Trance Essence is one of my favorites. It is handcrafted in small batches using jojoba oil and essential oils.
This is Zoe Organics’ top-selling product, and it is no wonder why. This balm is a life-savor for dry skin, and just like all of Zoe Organics’ products, it contains no water; just concentrated, organic goodness. It has a uniquely creamy texture for a body butter that melts to the touch, but doesn’t leave you oily. I haven’t used a conventional “lotion” in a few years now, and my skin is thanking me.
*La Bella Figura Decouverte Under Eye Repair Serum
All sleep-deprived mamas need Decouverte. It is a beautiful blend of healing botanicals and omega 3’s that smell divine. La Bella Figura also turned me on to one of its key ingredients — barbary fig seed oil — a powerful antioxidant.
