Mother’s Standards

Mother’s looks for the highest quality products available across all categories with an emphasis on local, Organic, Non-GMO, Fair Trade, sustainable, Biodynamic, and/or Regenerative Farmed ingredients. We also seek companies that choose recyclable, eco-friendly, and compostable packaging.

As proud sponsors of the Non-GMO Project, the Organic Trade Association, and the Natural Products Association, we emphasize these items in our stores:

• Products must be free from artificial: preservatives, additives, fillers, binders, artificial fragrances, fats, flavors, and sweeteners.
• Any products containing Dairy or Poultry must be Growth Hormone-free and Antibiotic-free.
• Eggs must be Cage-free.
• Fish and Seafood must be sustainably raised /wild caught.
• Beef must be grass-fed and finished.
• Palm must be sustainably sourced.

Body Care also evaluates products through the Environmental Working Group’s “Skin Deep” rating system.
