Sit down and pull up a chair because this is a eighteen year story... (the turbo version you will be pleased to hear!). This is a story of 3 friends, joined by a fourth who have built a lovely skincare company together.

Way back in the early nineties, Sian and Kathy ran a small brand creation design agency called Miller Sutherland, specialising in beauty. That is how we met Tanya who was then working with a great aromatherapist. thus creating a team to develop a wonderful range of products giving us our first experience in the world of skincare retail. Fast forward 3 years and the three of us started to work together using our combined skills to create bespoke beauty ranges for brands and retailers. One of the perks of working in the beauty industry for so long and in so many different areas, is that we have built up a little black book of the very best biochemists, aromatherapists and skincare experts in the business. So when one of us had our first major skincare need (now called Charlie) we knew exactly what to do. Sian's pregnancy was the catalyst for our very first Mama Mio product, Tummy Rub.

Over the next twelve years, and seven children later, we continued to selfishly formulate the products we needed to guide us through the minefields of skincare concerns. Four years ago we decided to share our personal favourites with the world, and Mama MIo was born. This was the point when we met Jill, our fantastic fourth partner who heads the charge in the US. Since then, it has been a crazy and really amazing ride; setting up Mama Mio, raising the finance, building the team how we wanted to, making sure we were able to stick to our principles, maintaining a stringent safety and ingredient policy, challenging ourselves to grow and develop and most importantly to make work fun. Because why shouldn’t work be fun – at least most of the time! (life is short.)

Now you may be thinking of Mama Mio as skincare that specialises in helping you through pregnancy. And that is definitely where we started – both in terms of our own needs and our original product range. But just as we have moved on in our own personal life-journeys and our own skincare needs, so has Mama Mio. The great thing is that those early days have given us huge experience in creating products that are SAFE, whilst being extremely effective in giving you strong, elastic, healthy, well-toned, FIT skin. Knowing how to help skin cope with a 40 inch stretch in 40 weeks is invaluable when working on formulations for anti-aging, cellulite, crepeyness or just dry skin!

We are probably the most selfish brand you will ever meet. We create products for ourselves; to solve the skincare issues WE want to overcome, using the very, very best ingredients at the highest potency to ensure that every product really works. And because our daily beauty rituals should be a pleasure, every Mama Mio product smells and feels fantastic.The way we see it, real beauty is about confidence – if you FEEL great, you will LOOK great.

We are working our way through all of the stages of life – young and carefree, pregnant-glowing and growing, new mamas reclaiming our bodies, and most currently we are trying out our new hat as… women of wisdom, working hard to feel good in a bikini! Our hope is whatever stage you are at, we have probably been there and will probably have a solution for you.

So to wrap up our story, four years of relentlessly hard work later, Mama Mio is in over 700 stores in 8 countries, 150 of the most toe-tingling spas and, best of all, we get glorious feedback from women all around the globe.

Ahhhh. It all sounds so smooth and easy in the turbo version. We hope you appreciate us sparing you the long version which is filled with stress, sleepless nights, tantrums and growing pains (and just to be clear – this was just the grown-ups, the kids were much better behaved!).

Earth Mama Angel Baby's pregnancy, childbirth and baby products were, ahem, born of our sincere faith in the natural process of birthing babies. Supporting the pure process naturally with nature's gifts makes sense to us. We don't think of pregnancy as an illness, merely a phenomenal process that has many wonderful and sometimes difficult stages. We trust in the wise women who have historically exalted the glories and eased the common discomforts of pregnancy naturally.

We use the highest-quality, certified-organic or organically grown herbs and oils for our teas, bath herbs, gentle handmade soaps, salves, lotions and massage oils. Our products are 100% toxin-free, cruelty-free, vegan, and free from all artificial preservatives, fragrances and dyes. Our commitment to honor the earth and her valuable resources extends to our packaging as well - we use only eco-friendly recyclable or reused/resuseable packaging and packing materials. It's true - we are even the proud recipients of the BRAG (Business Recycling Award Group) for our green practices.

Just as our foremothers did, Earth Mama Angel Baby honors the ancient knowledge of natural and herbal remedies and plant medicine. The wisdom we rely on has been passed down from great-grandmother to grandmother to mother to daughter, which we combine with the safety and assurances of contemporary evidence-based research.

The mamas (and honorary-mama papas) at Earth Mama Angel Baby are a dedicated and diverse group of nurses, herbalists, labor and postpartum doulas, childbirth hypnotherapists, childbirth educators, women, mothers and grandmothers. And a father or two.

We strive to provide research, tools and products to empower women with knowledge about the earth's natural resources for nurturing themselves and their angel babies.

It is also our goal, in times of grief, to help provide real physical support, resource information and emotional and spiritual comfort to women who have experienced the loss of a baby. We created the Healing Hearts Baby Loss Comfort web site to specifically address these heartbreaking needs.

Just like most mamas, we love hearing from you!

Let's care for our angel babies and ourselves - naturally.
