Sometimes you don’t start paying attention to what you’re putting in your body (or on your body) until kids come along. That was the case for the founder of Goddess Garden, who needed alternative skin care products when her daughter developed an allergic reaction to many of the popular products on the shelf. If you’re a parent of children with sensitive skin, or have skin concerns yourself, it can be difficult to put your trust in a bottle—especially if you have a history of flare-ups. Goddess Garden gets it, which is why everything from its sunscreen to tinted moisturizers are made with the utmost care and safety for the whole family in mind.
The History of Goddess Garden
When Nova Covington realized her daughter was allergic to many of the compounds found in conventional skin care products, she leveraged her experience as an herbalist—along with her husband’s know-how as a biochemist—and created her own products. That was 15 years ago. Researching synthetic chemicals over the years also led to the discovery that many of them harm coral reefs, which are crucial to marine habitats. That’s why the company supports organizations like Protect Our Mother, which helps preserve ocean habitats.
Goddess Garden Company Mission
Goddess Garden creates plant-powered products that are safe for all. Initially, two parents were simply trying to solve the problem of needing to provide effective, natural products that wouldn’t irritate their daughter’s skin. Eventually, it grew into a mission to help protect not only themselves, but also the planet. To earn its status as a B Corp, the brand went through a rigorous process that evaluated its mission, business model, and environmentally-friendly practices.
Benefits of Goddess Garden
For families with skin issues of any kind, peace of mind can be one of the greatest benefits to discovering a new product line. Goddess Garden began to fill a personal need, but has since grown into an advocate for all things involving clean skin care, ingredient transparency, and even coral reef protection. All of the brand’s sunscreens undergo a variety of rigorous tests such as UVA and UVB tests to measure how sunscreens protect against harmful rays, and have passed with flying colors. The company also sells a line of perfumes, which are also free from phthalates and synthetics, and are Leaping Bunny certified. That will come as welcome news to those who are sensitive to strong scents. Many perfumes are known to harbor synthetic ingredients and mysterious chemicals and fragrances.
