Our Friends at barley & birch

We are so excited to announce a giveaway from barley&birch, a company that shares our commitment to the environment and community!

barley&birch is a children’s’ clothing line made from 100% certified organic cotton.  Every component of their line grows, originates and occurs within the United States.

Their goal is to create a high-quality product while making a positive difference through every facet of production and profits.  Like little twig, barley&birch is a member of 1% For the Planet.

barley&birch also donates at least 15% of profits to various grassroots organizations in order to fully offset every ounce of carbon that results from all aspects of running their company.  They also donate at least another 15% of profits to improving daily life for those less fortunate in the world.

barley&birch recently won a Parent’s Choice Award for Best Organic Clothing and launched their online store on Nov.1^st.  They are running a super sale to celebrate these great accomplishments.

You may know that little twig products do not contain phthalates but do you understand why this is so important?  Here is some information on why it is so important to select phthalate-free personal care products for your children.

Phthalates are found in many perfumes, moisturizers and liquid soaps where they serve as a solvent, viscosity controlling agent and emulsifying agent.  They are also found in many plastics. Children are exposed to more phthalates than adults.  Infants and toddlers have the highest risk of exposure.  “Young infants are more vulnerable to the potential adverse effects of phthalates given their increased dosage per unit body surface area, metabolic capabilities and developing endocrine and reproductive systems,” wanrs S. Sathyanarayana in a study published in Pediatrics.

Another study in the Journal of Pediatrics found that prenatal exposure to phthalates was related to low birth weight in infants.  (Science Daily) Therefore, pregnant women should also avoid products that contain phthalates.  Pick up a bottle of little twig Calming Lavender Bodymilk for a pregnant friend – you will be doing her and her soon-to-be bundle of joy a big favor!

Our goal at little twig is to help educate parents to make healthy decisions for their families. We want to thank you for purchasing phthalate-free little twig products!
