About Us

California Baby^® was developed to meet the standards of a very particular mother. Jessica's son, Ian, was just a few months old when she realized the products available for his skin and hair were loaded with potential toxins. "People say, 'oh it's a small amount, you can rinse it off,' but I couldn't accept that," recalls Jessica. She resolved to make something at home just for her son, Ian. But her expertise grew beyond her immediate needs. After three years of research and testing (and the birth of new son, Miles), she introduced CALIFORNIA BABY^® to consumers in 1995. Although developed for children, the products are just as effective for adults and will be especially appreciated by anyone sensitive to chemicals and skin irritations and conditions such as eczema.

For Jessica, less is more, "I use the best quality ingredients I can find, and leave out the junk." Jessica pioneered the use of Decyl polyglucose (and combines it with Soapbark and Yucca in the bubble baths) to take the place of the more typical Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and DEA, which can be damaging to the skin, retinas and stripping of delicate membranes. Decyl polyglucose, a blend of corn, coconut and palm oil extracts, was developed because of the work of the GREEN PARTY in Germany, which pressures manufacturers of raw ingredients to develop and use sustainable and biodegradable alternatives.

Like many parents, Jessica gives her children credit for motivating her to try and make a difference. "When people have kids, they want them to start life healthy, and that includes skin care because the sun and harsh chemicals start their damage on day one. Our parents didn't have products like this for us, but they are available for our kids-and we can enjoy them too!"
