Ecocentric Mom

Considering the number of questions mothers need to ask and answer every day, should the list really have to include, “Is this soap safe?” But products from shampoo to candles to toys contain toxins we wouldn’t want our families to touch. So what’s a concerned mama to do? Enter Ecocentric Mom.

The premise is simple:

Moms sign up to receive monthly packages filled with a sampling of hand-selected safe, ethical, and eco-friendly products.

“I’ve spent thousands of dollars and countless hours over the years searching for the best healthy brands for my family,” explains Rebecca Attanasio, the company’s founder and CEO.  “Ecocentric Mom gives other moms a way to discover these products at a fraction of the cost.”

What sets Ecocentric Mom apart from other mom/baby subscription clubs is that they work only with brands that meet their strict criteria for sustainability, human rights, non-toxic ingredients, animal welfare and social responsibility.  Products in your Ecocentric Mom boxes will be free of ingredients known or suspected to cause harm. The brands they work with have also made significant efforts to minimize their environmental impact, whether it be through packaging, ingredients sourcing, supporting non-profits, or other means, they are doing business responsibly. “Yes, I’m passionate about living a healthy lifestyle and respecting the environment,” says Attanasio, a self-proclaimed “green mom.” But it was when she lost her parents to diseases she believes were caused by environmental toxins that Attanasio was moved to go a step further and create Ecocentric Mom.

“What we put on our skin and our children’s skin is just as important as what we eat,” Attanasio continues. “No matter how chemicals enter our bloodstream, they build up in our bodies over the years, wreaking havoc on our immune systems and contributing to life-threatening illness.”

Ecocentric Mom subscribers choose one of three monthly delivery options, enabling responsible parents to “try before they buy” and discover the most effective and appealing products for each individual.

• The Mom Discovery Box, geared toward those in any stage of motherhood, introduces women to skin care, makeup, organic foods, and more.

• The Mom-to-Be Discovery Box, focused on products safe for mother and baby alike, might include whole-food prenatal vitamins, non-GMO snacks, and pampering spa products.

• And The Baby Discovery Box, for newborns to 18-month-olds, could present subscribers with non-toxic, BPA-free toys; safe diapers; and organic cotton clothes.

These 3 specifically tailored types of membership boxes make sure that you won’t get a box full of  newborn items when your two year old is already telling you s/he wants “green juice now!”
