Check out what makes Ella’s fare (available in England, Scotland and Wales) good for your little one’s tummy.
4. The Honest Company
One of the buzziest healthy and natural companies around today started because its founders — actress Jessica Alba and Christopher Gavin, former CEO of Healthy Child, Healthy World — were frustrated by the lack of effective, eco-friendly, and safe products for their families and homes. Whether you’re a parent searching for chemical-free diapers or looking to make your beauty routine healthier, you’ll love how good and healthy this brand will make you feel.
5. Artisana Organics
This Oakland, Calif., based company believes that healthy food should be a work of art. Using a temperature-controlled process, Artisana preserves the healthiest fatty acids, proteins, vitamins and enzymes in all of its foods. We can’t get enough of Artisana’s Coconut Butter.
6. Burt’s Bees
There’s a reason that Burt’s Bee’s shows no signs of slowing down after more than 20 years in business. The company’s guiding principle is that what you put on your body should be made from only the best nature has to offer. Check out Burt’s Tinted Lip Balm, which comes in nine shades and uses only natural ingredients.
7. Pukka
Aside from producing some of the most delicious teas ever, this organic herbal tea and supplement company makes sure all of its products (available in the UK and throughout most of Europe) are free from synthetic flavors and coloring. The company also invests in environmental projects. Pukka’s Relax Tea Blend is one of our favorites.
8. Justin’s
Did you know there really is a Justin behind this beloved line of nut butters and mouthwatering organic peanut butter cups? Ten years ago, Boulder, Colo., resident Justin Gold was looking for a delicious way to fuel his long bike rides. So he started making his own nut butters and selling them at farmers’ markets in Colorado. It wasn’t long before companies like Whole Foods began to stock his products.
9. The Pressery
Natalie Stajcic and Chi-San Wan created this UK-based brand because they loved the taste of homemade almond milk, and store-bought almond milk with added sugar just didn’t compare. Friends and family fell for their almond milk, too, and now The Pressery is on a quest to bring it to all of London’s coffee shops.
