Happy Mother's Day with 'Mother Earth' – GAIA!

Happy Mother's Day with -Mother Earth' – GAIA!

In the spirit of  Mother's Day coming up on Sunday 11^th May, Aussie mum of 3 and creator of GAIA Natural Baby, Michelle Vogrinec, reflects on the inspiration that led to the name of her number 1 selling natural and organic baby skincare range and suggests -giving the gift of great skin' this year to your mum, nan or even a -mum-to-be'.

'Twelve years ago, when I was devising my baby skincare range for my first son Josh,  who had sensitive skin and eczema at only 8 weeks of age, I was reading a book that referred to -gaia' – something I had never heard of before.  I found out it was pronounced -GUY-YA' and it literally means -spirit of mother earth,' said Michelle. 

'It is  believed that -Mother Earth' has a living energy spirit called 'GAIA" the creator of  all life and all things that come together to form the earth.  I felt I had found the perfect description of the principles        I was using when formulating  my pure, natural, organic  skincare range.  I was aiming to gently, and effectively, cleanse and care for my baby's delicate and sensitive skin using beneficial natural and organic ingredients  and choosing to exclude the unnatural -nasties'  typically found in conventional products.  That sounded like the -spirit of mother earth' to me…"said Michelle.

'Since then, it has been these same -mother earth' principles I have used to develop my  stretchmark solutions after my third baby Max, and GAIA Skin+Body for women, after requests from our loyal mums who loved using GAIA on their babies, ' she said. 

'Nurturing your family by nourishing their skin is a wonderful gift to give," said Michelle, ' It brings me great pleasure to offer you my top picks from  GAIA's ranges to celebrate -the spirit of mother earth' this Mother's Day…"

Born out of the need for effective products to care her first baby's eczema, Michelle Vogrinec when frustrated at the lack of suitable natural products available, she created GAIA Natural Baby which has been providing parents with naturally gentle, soothing skin care solutions for babies with sensitive or irritated skin since 2002. During her third pregnancy she also developed GAIA Pure Pregnancy to fade her existing stretchmarks and help prevent new ones from forming with much success.
