Erbaviva is from Southern California. Famous for making super-pure products for pregnant women and babies-a husband and wife team started the company after the birth of their first son- Erbaviva shuns harsh detergents and synthetic fragrances in favor of naturally derived bubbles and signature essential oil blends. Its handmade skin care offerings now expand beyond mothers and children.
Why Erbaviva stands out
The company uses organic essential oils of the highest quality, imported from some of the best growers and distillers around the globe. Many of its partners are small farms with generations of experience growing a particular essential oil, who have kept their businesses small to ensure a superlative product.
What makes Erbaviva organic?
Most products are certified USDA organic; "organic" is in the name only if a product contains more than 99% certified organic ingredients
The company maintains its own manufacturing facility, which is powered by renewable energy
Most products are packaged in recyclable amber glass or sustainably sourced fabric bags
Its olive oil- and corn-derived detergents are extremely mild and can be obtained from renewable sources
What else we like about Erbaviva
