Trillium Organics Belly & Body Polish Review, based in Sturgeon Bay, WI.
This is one of those lines that I can’t find anything I don’t love about. The entire line is USDA certified organic, and nothing rates above a 1 in EWG. Someone on my page suggested I check out the line, and I immediately loved what I saw- absolutely no ingredients of concern to me. I was just about done clicking around on their site when I saw a reference to the fact that they are a WI-based company (I’m a WI mama—my love for this company was sealed)

Here are the two products I was sent:
OGmama Relaxing Lavender Belly and Body Polish— 4 oz./$10.00, 24 oz. $24.00. Product description from their website: “your ticket to a comfortable stretch in the third trimester. During the third trimester, the skin is stretching so much that it itches. To scratch it with fingernails could damage the dermis and start stretch marks. Luckily, Organic Body Polish satisfies and stops the itch while supporting the resilience of the skin to stretch even further. Our Salt Crystals are perfect crystalline cubes, so they do not scratch the skin like other salt scrubs, or finger nails. They exfoliate gently yet effectively. The removal of surface dead skin cells stimulates the regeneration of new cells, further enhancing the skins healthy stretch without adding toxins or leaving marks.” They sent me this product during my 1st trimester, so I held on to it for quite some time waiting for the 3rd trimester to arrive. I can say it definitely feels wonderful to rub on to my tight, stretched baby belly. I use it pre-bath, rub it on really well & let the oils soak in for a bit before getting in the bath. Then I follow-up with my favorite belly butter afterwards. I can’t say what difference it’s made for my stretch marks, as obviously there’s no way of knowing what they would be like without this product. But I can say it feels wonderful to rub on and is made with a host of wonderfully nourishing organic ingredients: Crystalline Salt, Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Safflower Oil, Organic Olive Oil, Organic Lecithin, Organic Lavender Oil, Non-GMO Vitamin E, Organic Chamomile, Organic Calendula, Organic Lavender.
Vapor Rub- $7.00/ .5 oz. or $15.50/ 3 oz. They also sent me an OGbaby Breathe Free Tea Tree Organic Aroma Rub, which I was fortunate enough not to need this winter as my whole family escaped with no illness! It is nice to have a product like this on hand though, and even though we’re going into summer now a good friend of mine & her son have just came down with some sort of respiratory ailment. It will be nice to have on hand with new babe who will be joining us any day now. Ingredients: Organic Olive Oil, Organic Beeswax, Organic Eucalyptus Oil, Organic Tea Tree Oil.
I know this is not a line everyone reading this will be able to afford as it’s one of the higher-end lines on my ‘approved’ list. But as we all know, making products with completely organic ingredients is not cheap. You also have to take into account that these products do not contain water as a 1st ingredient, but are full of nourishing oils, which means you get a very concentrated product that will last a long time (I hate paying for water myself!). I’m very happy to have this WI-based company on my “best-of-the-best” list, and thank them for sending me these products to sample! I also love the gift basket ideas they offer, and would love to give one to the next expecting Mama I know and/or receive one myself!
They have received several awards & recognitions: USDA Organic Certified, Leaping Bunny Authenticated, Green America Qualified, Certified Woman Owned Business, Green Product Alliance, Recommended as a “Brand to Trust” by the Organic Consumer’s Association.
