About Us
In 2007, Linda Naerheim founded Elements Naturals® in Bend, Ore., with the aim of developing high-quality baby products that are designed with babies and the environment in mind.
After becoming a mom, Linda became aware of all the chemicals added to baby wipes. Unhappy with any of the wipes on the market, she decided to create a product she felt comfortable using on her own baby’s skin. Linda spent the next year researching everything that goes into creating quality (and truly “green”) baby products and, armed with that knowledge, started Elements Naturals®.
The company’s first product, 100% Natural and Renewable Baby Wipes, are the first to be made from Ingeo® fibers, the world's first man-made fiber made from 100% annually renewable resources. The wipes are free of harsh synthetic chemicals and preservatives, and the wipe solution contains only plant-based ingredients derived from natural resources.
Elements Naturals® our mission is to lead the way in sustainability by making products that are good for both babies and the environment. Like nature, we believe in a systems approach to product development, particularly in regard to materials, design and production, our workforce, transportation, and our local community. We realize that a successful business is one that not only provides economic benefits, but also protects the environment. Because of these beliefs our products are never tested on animals and one percent of the company’s proceeds are donated to “1% For The Planet,” a global movement of hundreds of companies that contribute 1% of their sales to environmental organizations worldwide.
