What You Put On is as Important as What You Put In

It's been almost a decade now that I have been concerned with what I put in my body. I have been making a conscious effort to purchase organic food and eat healthy. Yet, most of that time I was oblivious to what I put on my body. The skin is the body's largest organ so how did I not realize that what goes on is as important as what goes in?

I finally made the connection about two years ago when my then three month old son got eczema. I knew I did not want to slather my son's beautiful pure skin with cortisone cream so I began to look for options. I searched and found natural creams (which work wonderfully!). I was so thrilled with these natural products that I decided to "purify" his environment.

My search to purify his environment eventually lead me to organic cotton. I was horrified to learn about all of the toxins used in the production of conventional cotton and the damage it inflicts on cotton workers, our planet and our skin. After learning that a baby's skin is five times thinner than an adult's, their skin is more porous and vulnerable to harsh chemicals and they spend 60% of their time sleeping, I became aware of the importance of organic baby bedding.

I knew that I wanted to have my son surrounded with naturals materials but I still wanted something hip and modern and Canadian. When I could not find what I wanted I decided to create it... and eventually create my own company. I hope you love the Snug as a Bug Organic Baby Bedding as much as I do.

For the well-being of your baby and the planet, go organic!
