About Maddie's Essentials

My name is Amie. Together with my fiancée, Tom, we have created Maddie’s Essentials. This all started when I was pregnant with my first baby, Madison. As with all newly pregnant women, the first concern is what we need to stop using as it isn't safe during pregnancy. I started with toiletries. I knew we needed to switch them out but the only things we found were loaded with chemicals and I wasn’t sure I wanted to try using them while I was pregnant. We also knew that we didn't want Madison going through the same journey of finding safe and effective skin care products when she got older and would love for her to grow up with amazing products. So, we made our own. The first lesson we learned is that soap making takes a long time to get started and, well, we needed something NOW. We researched all-natural soaps for what felt like forever, until we came across a company that does truly all-natural and mostly organic soaps. We gave some samples to our more loyal clients and they were hooked! Next, I needed a moisturizer. Something that wouldn’t evaporate and something that really made a long-standing difference in my skin’s health. After a TON of research and education, trial and error, tweaking, wasted ingredients on things that didn’t work, we came up with the formula for our body butter. We did the same with an exfoliator and with bath salts and bath teas. We very honestly do hope you enjoy using them as much as we enjoyed creating them! Read their story
