GAIA Skin Naturals began back in 2002 with the GAIA Natural Baby was launched.

 

My little boy Joshua was born with very sensitive skin and developed eczema when he was just 8 weeks old.

 

I tried numerous skin care products and most of them just made his eczema worse and I couldn't use them at all.

 

At the time my family lived on a certified organic produce farm (which was sold in 2006) and we lead a natural lifestyle so when I was told that cortisone was my only option I set about finding a safe and natural way to care for his skin. I consulted my herbal books and started to research which herbs and oils would benefit Josh's skin.

 

I also was also advised by many health care professionals which ingredients to avoid as they are well known to irritate sensitive and irritated skin.  I was astounded to find these ingredients in majority of the baby skin care products I had tried.

 

I did some skin care blending courses, studied aromatherapy and I began boiling my own herbal infusions on the stove and added them to Josh's bath and made up my own potions for his skin.

 

My husband thought I had gone completely mad! But with some persistence finally we found a way to cleanse, soften and care for his skin without causing further irritation to his eczema.

It amazes me that someone always knows someone who has a child with eczema or has one themselves and after hearing the same story over and over again "I can't find products that don't irritate, itch or dry my baby's skin" so I did a market analysis and found there was a great need for a natural and organic product that catered specifically for skin sensitivities. 

 

This lead to the development of GAIA Natural Baby commercially, skin care specifically targeted to be moisturising and free from those ingredients that are known to irritate sensitive skin, making them eczema friendly.

The feedback we receive is just sensational, not only from parents thankful to have found GAIA but from the many midwives and health care professionals who also recommend our products.

It is our mission is to provide everyone with natural and organic products at an affordable price. We want to make purchasing our products easy and have worked hard to ensure they are available through a wide variety of channels.  GAIA Natural Baby is the most widely distributed natural and organic baby skin care ranges in Australia and the trend is continuing in other parts of the world. 

 

Following the success of GAIA Natural Baby and the demand for other products, GAIA Made for Men was the first extension to our brand and after 4 years of development and trials, I am pleased to bring you GAIA Pure Pregnancy and GAIA Skin + Body Care - skin care for woman and stretchmark creams for pregnancy.
