Whole Story

According to Jeremiah McElwee, Executive Senior Global Whole Body Coordinator, it is important to babies and children’s health to choose products carefully:

• Children’s skin is sensitive and helps regulate body temperature, hydrate and protect internal organs.
• The skin is the largest detoxification organ in the body.
• Artificial colors, preservatives and scents can cause irritation, especially for young children.

Premium Body Care® is a standard developed by Whole Foods Market® for our vendor partners:

• The Premium Body Care standards make it easier to choose products like baby and children’s lotions, oils, powders and washes.
• The PBC standards also make it easier for teens to choose face wash, make-up, and lotions,
• The Quality Standards team evaluates every product to ensure it meets the Premium Body Care standards.
• Criteria for evaluation include quality of source, environmental impact and safety.

There are many benefits to shopping at Whole Foods Market for your family:
