    Hi Mumblers!

    Jennifer from Love Boo here, we’re a mummy and baby skincare company with a difference – we launched our brand purely because we couldn’t find any suitable products to use on our own babies!

    In our previous lives, my friend and now business partner, Corinna and I were both magazine writers (fun fact: it was us who gave the Spice Girls their nicknames while working together at Top of The Pops Magazine!) we had no business experience and never imagined we’d create a skincare range!

     

    But back in 2007, we found ourselves on maternity leave at the same time moaning about the fact that it was hard to find natural baby skincare that was luxurious, actually worked and looked gorgeous on our nursery shelves.

    From that small idea Love Boo was born – a range of UK-made, natural products for Mum and Baby with modern benefits – but it wasn’t an easy journey!

    We had no idea where to start and our little ones were still tots so it was all a bit of a juggle.

    After a lot of searching, we found a botanical chemist who worked with us on all our ideas.

    We’d spend hours after the kids had gone to bed designing our packaging and website – our husbands moaned that we spent more time talking to each other than them, but it was all worth it when we got the products produced and on our website!

    Slowly but surely, the right people started to notice our brand and John Lewis approached us and began

     to stock our gift boxes.

    We’d get amazing reviews from mums who had tried our skincare and loved it so we plucked up the courage to enter the Mother & Baby Awards (the Oscars of the baby world!) as we knew it was judged by real parents and the products could do the talking.

    On the night of the awards we realised we were up against some giants of the nursery world, we were gobsmacked when our name was announced as GOLD winners – the top accolade.

    Moments like that make all the hard work worthwhile.

    We just love meeting mums and dads at the baby shows we do up and down the country and hearing about their favorite products.

    If we had to name our faves, I think we would both say hands down our Soft & Creamy Body Smoother – we both suffer from ultra-dry skin and this wonder cream is so rich and moisturizing it softens and soothes immediately (plus we always get asked what the delicious smell is!

    Or, as we are based in Wakefield, feel free to get in touch if you’re in the area and arrange for us to visit your playgroup or class with samples and testers.

     

    We know first-hand how it feels to not want to go back to your previous job once you’ve had a baby. We spent years working on our dream to work around our family life.

    We want to make it easier for parents who like us want to find a way of working that they can fit around family life.

    We’re currently launching a home-selling side to Love Boo here in Yorkshire, where parents can host their very own get together with some Love Boo pampering and earn some extra pounds by home-selling themselves! (Get in touch at hello@loveboo.com for more details.

    We’ll be appearing at QEGS Table Tots market on Sunday 4th June so would be great to see you there.

    And even though sometimes it’s just wishful thinking, fitting in a five minute pamper or a long soak in the bath when you can really does work wonders – after all, you deserve it!
