EcoMom Approved
We at EcoMom believe
passionately that the best things out there are made with as many
sustainable considerations as is possible and follow a
comprehensive set of tenets for healthy living.
With EcoMom Approved, we support, honor and
promote those who make the same commitment.In making our choices, we look to the best research available from organizations such as Cradle to Cradle, EWG, Healthy Child Healthy World, and leading trade and certification organizations. We try every product and work closely with the vendors. To receive approval a product must meet at least 95% of the following applicable criteria:
- Organic: Produced and/or grown without the use of synthetic or chemical herbicides, pesticides or insecticides. Organic certifications vary depending on state and country of origination and distribution. In accordance with USDA Certified Organic, multi-ingredient products must be at least 95% organic.
- Non-toxic: Implies that a product, substance, or chemical, when used as directed, will not cause adverse effects to a person’s health nor to the natural environment either immediately or over the long-term. Be careful, just because something is “natural” does not mean it is non-toxic, particularly with high potency essential oils.
- Recycled: Produced utilizing systems and processes that recondition ingredients so as to adapt for re-use and reduce resource depletion and waste.
- Recyclable: Capable of reconditioning
so as to reuse ingredients and prevent waste.
- Fair Trade: Market-based approach helping workers in developing countries move toward economic self-sufficiency and stability through healthful working conditions, non-toxic raw materials, safe manufacturing processes, and just wages.
- Cruelty-free: A philosophy of product research, development, and production, which seeks to avoid harm to animals and people.
- Sustainably
Produced: Researched, sourced, and manufactured with regard
to long-term environmental, social, and economic health and
conservation.
- Socially
Responsible: Culturally relevant commitment to corporate
policies that support both cause and community beyond the company’s
immediate fiscal interests.
- EcoMom-tested: Tried, vetted and
endorsed by EcoMom members for accessibility,
effectiveness, style, and ease of use. - EcoKid-tested: Because moms know that
if the kids don’t like the smell, feel, fit, taste and/or and how
it works, it’s just not worth buying. We will not endorse anything
unless a wide variety of children from varied backgrounds have
given a product the thumbs up.
EcoMom Approved will raise environmental
awareness, engender consumer confidence, build brand loyalty, and
increase sales for the Approved products and companies - thereby
helping to propel a new vision of sustainable living on this planet
we all share.
