General

Are all of your products really organic?

Many products claim to be natural or organic, but how can you tell? Here at NESSA we disclose all our ingredients on each product page so you know exactly what you are putting on your skin. Our products are entirely clean, organic, vegan, fragrance free.

But what does ‘organic’ really mean?

It means that the plant was grown with respect for the earth, the soil, the farmer and you, the consumer. Certified organic farms adhere to strict standards, growing crops without the use of harmful pesticides or the usual dose of toxic chemical fertilizers. Manufacturers of certified organic products have to undertake a monumental process that assures consumers of the purity of each ingredient, process and final product, through every stage of manufacture.

Do you use artificial fragrances, SLS, parabens, or synthetic preservatives?

No, and we never have. Read more about our ingredient values here. All NESSA products are free from worrisome ingredients, like artificial preservatives, fragrance, surfactants, emulsifiers, sulfates, parabens, antibacterial chemicals, nut oils and lanolin too.

Lanolin? What’s wrong with that?

Some mamas have concerns about wool allergies and pesticide exposure with lanolin, and we strive to make sure NESSA products are as worry-free as possible.

If you don't use synthetic preservatives, what do you use to preserve your products to make sure they are safe and free of bacteria and mold?

NESSA’s salves and oils do not contain water so they don't need a preservative to keep them fresh and free from bacteria and mould.

I have an expired product - will it hurt me, or my baby?

The period after opening date on all of our products is a freshness guide for our resellers and customers, but this isn't an expiration date. That said, you should always use your own best judgment, if it smells "off," don't use it. You can extend the life of oils and salves by making certain they stay cool and out of direct sunlight.

I need to know if your products will irritate my or my baby's allergies.

You are the best judge of what is safe for you and your baby. Please look at the ingredients lists to see if any of your known allergens are in our products. If you have specific questions or concerns about product safety, allergies or ingredients, it is always best to consult with your Midwife or Doctor who is knowledgeable about the use of herbs during pregnancy and when breastfeeding a baby.
