Aloe Baby, LLC was founded by a former professor turned stay-at-home mom. In her former life in academics, her interests and areas of expertise included:
- Museum (Free Choice Learning Environment) education
- Science and math education
- Teacher preparation
- Social justice
- Indigenous ways of knowing
- Identity negotiation
That background shaped Aloe Baby, LLC in some pretty clear ways:
- We value both western scientific and indigenous ways of knowing and believe that exploring botanicals from around the world will unlock scientific and medical breakthroughs.
- Valuing all people equally means that we are committed to fair trade and living wages.
- We strive for sustainability in the sources of our ingredients and our packaging.
- Our ingredients must be of the highest quality, handled with expert care, and crafted by knowledgeable professionals.
We believe in giving back to our community, and as a new, small company, we have begun to support local and global causes. We sponsor local festivals and races, and we partner with much larger health-related nonprofit organizations (such as Muscular Dystrophy Association) to support our community. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for announcements about how you can help us support these great causes.
If you can think of ways that we can improve our packaging or materials, we’re eager to hear your ideas! We equate corporate responsibility with social, economic, and environmental responsibility.

At Aloe Baby, LLC, we are enthralled with ethnobotony–the wisdom and experiences of indigenous peoples with local flora. We follow the work of “Western” scientists who investigate and validate local knowledge. Aloe Baby, LLC believes that the wisdom of local people regarding the botanical specimens in their environment is severely underestimated by most people. At the same time, we value the sort of evidence-based hypothesis testing done by modern Western scientists. It is the intersection of these two ways of knowing where amazing discoveries await!
Aloe Baby, LLC supports socially responsible business practices; we purchase botanicals that are 
harvested sustainably with fair, living wages.
We are also committed to sustainability of resources, from the ingredients of our formula to our packaging choices. Wherever possible, we use recycled materials, and we urge you to keep the recycling going by keeping our empty packaging out of landfills and incinerators.

Aloe Baby, LLC is dedicated to the notion that babies deserve the highest quality care we can provide. Their skin is delicate and thin, and the environment it encounters–especially in diapers–can be harsh and cruel.
Aloe Baby, LLC grew out of the need for a product that did not exist for one child’s diaper rash that persisted for three months. It led to a new method for treating diaper rash, and all sorts of other skin issues mammals have when barrier creams, ointments, and pastes are medically preferred. (Patent pending.)
The product and company were developed with a commitment to using natural, renewable, plant-based ingredients. Whenever possible, we choose organic ingredients, and many of our oils are wild-crafted in a sustainable manner and provide living wages to workers around the world.
