what you see, is what you get at BlessedNest

You may have heard the latest regarding "bad organic labels" on body care products. If not, visit Whole Foods and see what all the talk is about. Basically, some companies are labeling their products organic and they're not, well organic.  It doesn't stop here. Green washing is the new-bad.  If you're not familiar with the term "green washing" well here is the Wikipeida definition...

"Greenwashing (green whitewash) is the practice of companies disingenuously spinning their products and policies as environmentally friendly, such as by presenting cost cuts as reductions in use of resources.[1] It is a deceptive use of green PR or green marketing. The term green sheen has similarly been used to describe organizations that attempt to show that they are adopting practices beneficial to the environment"

Greenwashing is bad...but it happens in our industry as well. Be careful what you are purchasing when an item reads organic.

Heather and I at Blessed Nest LOVE receiving e-mails and phone calls asking if our Nesting Pillows and Nest Eggs are really 100% organic. Why do we love the calls? Because we know that our products are 100% organic. Not just part organic, but 100%.

100% green (organic) Blessed Nest Nesting PillowWhy is it important for a nursing pillow to be organic? We believe you should have the best start for your baby which puts safety as a priority as well as function and beauty.  Read the details about why we know organic is best for your baby, here in our Product Safety Guide.

When purchasing organic baby items, do your homework. Look for false or misleading labels. 

We're glad to help answer any questions you may have. Please e-mail Donna and Heather at

Products safe for Mom, baby & planet~ Blessed Nest

We work with amazing stores who are wonderful customers and friends! They care about you, the safety of products they carry in their stores and the necessity for NO chemicals in products for mom and baby!

They ask us perfect questions about  our Nesting  pillows and we have answers...

We added a Blessed Nest product safety link here on our site~ Below is a note from Heather about her journey in developing organic products.

A note from Heather the founder of Blessed Nest on why we don’t use chemicals and fire retardants:

 

I've spent a lot of time researching this very issue, and it is actually the thing that started me down the road of "all organic". As we have stated; our Nesting Pillows are not "treated" with anything. In fact the chemicals that are used for making fabrics fire-retardant are linked to cases of SIDS more than any other theory out there. Fabrics are only required to be treated if they are being used for children's sleepwear, and in certain commercial applications (hospital curtains, etc). That's why most of your baby's nighties are labeled "not intended as sleepwear", or are made of that strange-feeling fabric. In a nutshell, nothing about our pillow attracts fire like, say a petroleum-based foam might, so there is no need to treat it. The Nesting Pillow will not catch fire more readily than anything else. It is important that articles of bedding and furniture are tested, because there has been a problem with the chemicals that can be on fabrics and in other materials promoting flame where it wouldn't normally be (like if a lamp fell over on it). All of the major components of both pillows are made with 100% organic materials which are certified to not even contain pesticides. All other components (zippers, thread, labels) are either not available in organic, or the organic version does not meet our standards for quality and durability. We care very much about literally every element of our products (yes, even thread!).

 

Thank you for asking!
