I wanted to know that the soaps, creams, lotions, and detergents we were using were super safe for our infant's sensitive skin. My research really started with skin care products.

Every decision we make as parents impacts not only the immediate well-being of our child, but also the state of the world they will inherit, and it is our job as parents to make sure we are helping to create the safest environment possible. When our infant arrived prematurely and was staying in the NICU, I realized I wanted to be an even more conscious consumer in regards to the products we were using for our infant. When my husband and I started our family, I kept my eye towards more organic products, mostly because they were brands I already knew. I never really put much thought into the concepts of reduce, reuse, recycle, because they were just a part of our daily lives. I grew up in a community that was very invested in environmental practices. What made you want to be more careful about the things you buy for yourself or your family? Was there an “aha” moment or a specific event? I have an 18m old boy named Emmett and another little boy arriving in December! I grew up in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, but my family and I currently live just outside of Portland, Maine. Whitney, but my friends and family call me Whit. You can find her on Instagram your name? Any nickname? She joined UpChoose just before Emmett was born. She's the mom of Emmett, who is almost two years and a half, and baby brother Mason Henry who is seven months. Meet Madison, one of our UpChoose moms from Maine.
