Like so many mamas before her, Vanessa Wade took a keen interest in the ingredient labels of the products on her shelves once she started bathing her new babe in them. But unlike most others, when she didn’t like what she saw, she teamed up with an award-winning formulator and spent a year crafting the perfect soap of her own: Wiley Body launched last year with Body Bubble, a 3-in-1 shampoo, body wash, and bubble bath—each gorgeous little bottle is made in the USA and contains only natural, safe-for-everybody ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, bearberry, and vitamin E.  Since the launch, Vanessa’s brood has grown—she’s mama to Emma, 2 years, and Zuriya, 3 weeks (!)—and so has her product line. She recently released two new Wiley products: Everywhere Oil and the Body Bar. We are huge fans of Wiley ourselves, and had to know what other products this discerning mama uses throughout her day. Peep her 15 Mother Essentials below!

Plus, if you’re in San Francisco on December 15, you can meet Vanessa in person and give Wiley Body products a try yourself when she pops-up at our holiday-themed MOTHER Market, going down at Fort Mason Center on Sunday, December 15th, 2019, 10am-5pm.
