  When my wife & I became parents

  we were disappointed to discover how many supposedly safe and gentle baby lotions & shampoos were really wolves in sheep's clothing - cleverly marketed

  but with toxic

  irritating ingredients. This led us to create our own line of baby skin care products that are as safe

  natural

  and organic as possible.
