The
Benefits of MATERNACARE™
Products
At MaternaCare, we understand you have special skin care needs
during pregnancy and after your baby is born. Our intention
is to promote wellness by bringing you the highest quality body
care products during this special time in your life. All MaternaCare
products are made with natural ingredients from renewable resources.
You can trust we will use certified organic and fair-trade ingredients when available.
MaternaCare is committed to conducting our business
in a socially responsible and ethical manner. We recognize
our responsibility to contribute positively to the community
that supports us. Our products use ingredients from reputable suppliers
who demonstrate social responsibility, and we do not test our products
on animals. A portion of our profits are donated to local and
global causes.
The
Science behind MATERNACARE™
MaternaCare products are created using all-natural ingredients like unrefined
shea butter, cocoa butter, mango butter, sweet almond oil,
extra virgin olive oil, jojoba oil and calendula oil. Many
of these ingredients have traditional uses dating back hundreds
or even thousands of years. For instance, pure unrefined shea
butter from the Karite tree has been used for centuries in
western Africa as a skin moisturizer.
To verify their effectiveness, our ingredients have undergone limited clinical trials
using today’s rigorous scientific standards. It is our
goal to bring this contemporary scientific knowledge to you
when it is available; however, we believe the scientific data only echoes the time-honored
traditions found in cultures throughout the world of using these oils, butters and waxes for skin
moisturizing and healing.
