KENNEBUNK, Maine, March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Parents want safe and effective products for their new bundle of joy, especially when it comes to ones that go on baby's delicate skin and hair. A trusted leader in natural personal care for 45 years, Tom's of Maine is expanding its family of products with a new natural baby care portfolio that helps keep baby's skin feeling soft, smooth and healthy with no parabens, phthalates or phenoxyenthanol and without the use of artificial ingredients found in most conventional brands.
The pediatrician-tested, hypoallergenic formulas are gentle and use only purposeful ingredients derived solely from plants and minerals. Taking nearly three years to develop a safe and effective line without the use of conventional preservatives, the new Tom's of Maine Natural Baby Care Line includes:
-Tom's of Maine Baby Shampoo & Wash is tear-free, gentle enough for everyday use and safe for delicate skin. It comes in lightly scented and fragrance free options.
-Tom's of Maine Baby Moisturizing Lotion soothes delicate skin with a non-greasy formula that moisturizes after one use to keep your baby's skin feeling soft, smooth and healthy. Available in lightly scented and fragrance free.
"We all want to know what's inside the products we use because our kids are trusting us to make good choices for them," said Liz Eddy, brand manager at Tom's of Maine and mom to a toddler. "We talked to a lot of parents in developing this line and heard they want natural, effective products with just what is necessary. So, in some cases, our products have half the number of ingredients found in other natural brands."
The Tom's of Maine baby bath and skin care products are now available at online retailers including Amazon.com and Walmart.com for a suggested retail price of $9.99 for the shampoo and wash (10 oz) and $10.99 for the lotion (6 oz). Product packaging is recyclable through the Tom's of Maine TerraCycle collection program, which gathers shampoo bottles as well as a wide array of oral and personal care product packaging from any brand and recycles them into useful items like picnic tables and park benches to prevent waste from reaching landfills.
Recently debuted Tom's of Maine Toddler Training toothpaste also helps give children ages three months to 24 months a healthy start with their oral care habits. This natural option has no artificial ingredients, no fluoride and no SLS with a mild, fruit flavor that delights tiny teeth.
Tom's of Maine gives 10% of profits back to helping communities across the country and supports access to oral care for children across the nation.
