One of the only USDA certified Organic Baby Washes and Shampoos in existence -- this means this product is actually certified as meeting the Federal Government's Organic Standards! Most of the products labeled "organic" that are sold on store shelves today do not meet federal organic standards, because they contain prohibited chemicals.M
- Made with extra mild 100% organic olive oil with organic jojoba oil, organic calendula, and healing, fresh herbal extracts. Absolutely no chemicals whatsoever, no petroleum, no SLS, no Parabens, no synthetic fragrances to worry about. Light, sweet vanilla-orange scent. Chemical free. Washes out instantaneously from the hair. Gentle enough for children with eczema, and sensitive places. Moms often come into our Sherman Oaks store looking for an eczema lotion, but we always recommend changing the baby wash first! We've seen amazing turn-arounds in children with skin problems who've been fortunate enough to have their mothers pick Terressentials. In fact, repeat customers usually buy three bottles at a time, fearing we might sell out. 8oz (160ml).
- Certified Organic by the Maryland Department of Agriculture -- a claim that a product is "organic" is only as good as the third-party certification attached to it. And Terressentials is certified by a state government.
Ingredients: Organic aloe vera juice*, organic olive oil* castile soap, cold-pressed organic jojoba oil*, organic vanilla oil*, essential oils of organic sweet orange* and organic true lavender*, organic extracts* of organic curcuma longa*, organic calendula*, organic althea (marshmallow)* and organic alchemilla (lady's mantle)*, essential oil of organic rose geranium*. * denotes USDA Certified Organic.
NO HARMFUL CHEMICALS

Environmental groups have found that a majority of baby soaps on the market are contaminated with carcinogens. Unlike other brands that merely claim to be "Organic," Terressentials Baby Wash is literally third-party certified as even satisfying federal laws for organic food! After all, what goes on your baby's skin is absorbed into your baby, so using something pure and nourishing is simply a matter of good health. Parents, even those who buy organic baby food may underestimate the impact of conventional skin care products on childhood health and development. Food actually passes through our digestive tract, where various organs work on eliminating toxins; however, toxic chemicals applied to the skin are actually absorbed into the bloodstream directly, where they circulate and often deposit themselves in fat and organs (for example, Parabens, a popular preservative found in adult and baby body products have been found inside of breast tumors). In fact, the EPA and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission have both said that personal care products represent a major risk to human health, and more so than even outdoor air pollution!

Features
WHAT YOU WON'T FIND IN OUR BABY WASH AND SHAMPOO:
-
NO Phthalates hormone disruptors, associated with developmental problems, particularly in genital birth defects in males & fertility problems in males. Phthalates can be found in products with "fragrance" including lotions, shampoos, baby powders, conditioners, as well as soft plastic teething and other toys, mattresses and PVC plastic bottles. In cosmetic products, Phthalates are used to stabilize synthetic fragrances. A 2008 study found elevated phthalate levels in the urine of babies who had been recently shampooed, powdered or lotioned with conventional baby products. All our products are Phthalate free!
