Founded in 1996 by Anna Cirronis & Robin Brown. Born from the desire to use the cleanest, safest ingredients on their own baby. Launched organic Pregnancy line in 1997. Launched organic Bath & Body to offer pure organic body care for everyone else in 2000. Always been organic but made it official by becoming USDA Certified in Jan of 2007. • Regarded in the industry as being one of the highest integrity premium organic brands available.
Erbaviva’s meaning—“herbs that are alive”—manifests the passion of first-time parents who wanted more for their newborn baby than skincare products rife with harmful chemicals, artificial fragrances, additives and dyes. Today, Erbaviva’s growing collection of organic skincare, bath and body and aromatherapy products are coveted nationally and internationally by parents and mommies-to-be through upscale spas, boutiques and selected department stores in more than 20 countries.
Inspired by the birth of their first son, owners Robin Brown and Anna Cirronis began in 1996 out of their Topanga, California home by creating a soap-less, herbal means of washing their newborn. “Baby Washbag,” which also helped adults with sensitive or problem skin, led to the development of an extra mild baby soap and organic baby oil. With the success of their initial baby line, Erbaviva incorporated a natural pregnancy line in 1997 consisting of Stretch Mark Oil, Back Rub Oil, Mommy-To-Be Milk Bath, and Baby Blues Oil (for postpartum depression). Two years later, Erbaviva introduced 65 aromatherapy products in sprays, synergies, bath essences and essential oils.
Anna Cirronis adds, “It is a formidable stamp of approval and one we’re
extremely proud to receive. It reinforces Erbaviva’s mission of
producing a quality product that our customers can trust is pure and
natural, ethically and ecologically sound, while protecting the
environment.”
