The holidays are almost here and we’re staring out of our office onto a snow covered Stockholm. As we start to thin out here at the office, heading home to see family and friends during the holidays, we wanted to take the time to thank you for your support.

We’d like to thank you all for the past year and can’t wait to see what the new year brings. In this past year, we’ve introduced Nature Babycare products in several different countries, including here in Sweden. It’s been amazing to see how well received we have been in all of the countries, of course there is something special about sharing Nature Babycare with all of our friends and family in Sweden.

Several Nature Babycare products have undergone changes, as we constantly work to provide you with products that are healthy for your baby as well as being environmentally friendly. That includes our diapers based on natural materials, or biodegradable wipes, and our toiletries, which are 100% free of parabens, perfume, and dyes. The health of your baby is incredibly important, that’s why we are always researching and developing new ways to improve our products.

Thank you again for all you’ve done, we wouldn’t be where we are without you. Your comments, suggestions, and questions, they all make us better.

Happy Holidays everyone!
 

Allow us to gloat for just a second, because Nature Babycare was just awarded EcoBabyWorld’s Green Award for Outstanding Product 2009 for our Pull on Pants! We can’t tell you how proud we are.

EcoBabyWorld does not allow submissions for this award, but instead goes out and chooses the products from companies which they deem to be “creating safe and eco-friendly baby products.” The people behind EcoBabyWorld then test the products to determine which are eligible to be considered an Outstanding Product.

It’s not every day that a small entrepreneurial ecological baby company in Sweden beats out the big guys like Pampers and Huggies. But, come to think of it, while it may not be everyday, those days are coming more and more frequently as of late. And we have only you to thank.

So thank you. Thank you for continuing to support what we do. Thank you for thinking about, and taking care of, the environment. And of course, thank you for putting the health, well being, and future of your baby, first.

Marlene Sandberg, who nearly 15 years ago started working on the idea that would become Naty and the Nature Babycare brand, was awarded the 2009 Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award in Stockholm, Sweden on Tuesday, May 12th 2009.

The Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award was founded 37 years ago and recognizes business women who exhibit qualities of entrepreneurship, determination, and creativity.

The 2009 Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award focused on those same qualities, but also looked at social responsibility, such as environmental activism. And that’s where Marlene and Nature Babycare come into the picture.

Marlene was recognized for, “with passion and commitment, having founded and built an expanding company with extensive exports throughout the world. In a competitive market, she has developed ecological and environmentally friendly products designed for children, and thus, like all true entrepreneur, challenged the industry giants. She is recognized for her entrepreneurship and achievement in breaking in as a supplier to major retailers throughout the world.”

In the end though, we can’t take all of the credit. In fact, it is people like you who deserve the credit. So thank you. Thank you for continuing to support what we do. Thank you for thinking about, and taking care of, the environment. And of course, thank you for putting the health, well-being, and future of your baby, first.

Welcome to our brand new homepage and the Nature Babycare Blog!

Here at Naty our intentions are simple, to create products that are gentle on you, your baby, and of course, the environment. Our intentions for our new blog might be even simpler. We want to start a conversation with you. A conversation about you, your baby, and the environment. And what we can all do to make sure that all three are in harmony.

There’s so much to think about. Raising a child has never been easy, but raising a child today means so many things to think about. Everything from education to the environment. We know. We’re parents too.

We hope you’ll check back often. We hope that you’ll leave your questions and comments and add to this conversation. But most of all, we hope that you’ll join us as we strive to create something that makes the world just a little bit better of a place to live.
