ecocentric mom box review Review: Ecocentric Mom Box

I recently had the opportunity to review an interesting new idea for expecting and new moms… A box filled with natural, organic and earth friendly products that moms can try without the need to buy a full size bottle.

These boxes are from a new company called Ecocentric Mom, founded by a mom of four named Rebecca who is on a mission to help other moms find natural and earth-friendly options for themselves and their babies, especially during pregnancy and early childhood.

There are three options in these boxes:

  1. The Mom Box
  2. The Mom-to-Be-Box
  3. The Baby Box
I have a one-year old, so I opted to try the baby box.

The Baby Box:

The box arrived with cute packaging and filled with many products that I would actually use. There were some products that I hadn’t even heard of, and some I’d definitely use or recommend to a friend.

The Baby Box that I received contained:

  • A silicon “Oogaa Spoon” that is safe and non-toxic for baby to learn to eat. Since I don’t usually spoon food into babies mouths, but teach them from an early age to feed themselves, this is actually a fun way for baby to learn. These aren’t plastic and are BPA free, which are important to me.
  • Bathtime Baby- Baby Butter- a natural moisturizing lotion that is safe for even the littlest babies. It contained ingredients that I’ve used to make my own lotion and that would be safe on kids.
  • Tooth tissues- Natural and fluoride free wipes to clean baby’s teeth even before they have enough teeth to actually brush…
  • Natural Floor Cleaner- made with ingredients you would be comfortable with baby crawling around on
  • Natural Sun Screen- We don’t use much sunscreen (on purpose) but it contained ingredients that I would be fine with putting on baby’s skin when we do use sunscreen.
  • Vaska Natural Laundry Detergent- a natural and eco-friendly laundry alternative
  • Divine Mama Bars- Designed to increase breast milk supply. They contained some ingredients I don’t eat, but the idea is a great!
  • Newborn Skin Oil- A natural oil designed for baby’s skin. Great if you want an alternative to plain coconut oil icon smile Review: Ecocentric Mom Box
  • Powdered organic baby food- We don’t do much store bought baby food, but this would be great for traveling, especially on planes when liquids and baby foods aren’t allowed.

These boxes can be purchased as a single box (one month) or as a monthly subscription for several months. After seeing mine, I think these would be great gifts for new moms, especially those just starting to learn more natural options. This would be a way for a new mom to try products and see which one work for her without the commitment of buying a large quantity. It would also be a way for new moms to find options they hadn’t even thought of yet.

I’ll probably actually give these as a gift to a few new moms that I know….

Have you ever tried a monthly product trial like this? Ever used any of these products? Please share below!

    I’m heading over to buy this right now! I am at the Mom-to-Be stage, but it might be good to go ahead and purchase the Baby box as well, just to see ahead of time what I’ll like!

    I’m curious about the comment that you don’t do a lot of spoon feeding. How do you feed them in the early months?

  • Rebekka Hartmann

    Just so’s you know, you can bring baby food and formula/breastmilk/bottled water on flights. We did Copenhagen/Frankfurt/SanFran and back in May/June and both ways had a huge thermal bag full of baby food jars and pouches and fruit and just, you know, STUFF. Both ways. They looked in the bag but gave us no problems whatsoever.

    I think it depends on the agent… we just did Europe (greece, england, france) and we had to open each baby container and taste each item ourselves in front of them!  So needless to say, they didn’t last long after being opened and tasted.

    I don’t introduce foods until 6 months and start with tiny bits of avocado, soft cooked vegetables, etc. I’ve found that babies are much more willing to try new foods when they can pick them up themselves. I do occasionally spoon feed things like applesauce, but for the most part, let them try with a spoon at that age too… messy for a while but they learn so much faster and I actually get to eat during meals…

    Good to know!

    I love the idea of these as baby shower gifts. Our nieces and nephews are at that stage of life and most of them would be interested in these products.

    after i unknowingly started with rice cereal, which she didn’t like too much, i did the avocados, mushy mangos and other veggies at 7 months, my little one who is now 7 loves fruits and veggies and prefers them over anything else. i think if you start them off with a good healthy start like that, they will continue. i didn’t use the spoon much, but always let her use a spoon and she knows how to use utensils properly from a young age, about 18 months. its great!

    Hello, what timely fashion to come across your site. We are expecting baby #6. Unfortunately I suffer from Hyperemesis which is an Extreme form of morning sickness. I had to be put on a PICC line and TPN bag for 24hrs. It is so hard knowing all the chemicals and High amounts of sugar that are being pumped in  but it is the only way I can survive without literally becoming Malnourished. Thankfully I am over the worst and have been able to resume a whole foods diet. So I am eager to look around your site and look forward to following along with you.
