March 19, 2008 - “It’s feels kind of like winning a Cutest Baby contest,” says Eternal Maternal owner Karen DeSemple. Referring to their recent wins in the 2008 ShapeYou.com GearAwards™, DeSemple is obviously proud. “We always knew we had remarkable products, but it’s fantastic to have someone else recognize them as well and in such a public way.”
Eternal Maternal received two Great Gear of the Year awards last week for their bellycaster™ and bellyfacial™. The bellycaster™, a do-it-yourself kit for creating a plaster cast of a woman’s pregnant torso, is their first and best-selling product. A unique and realistic way of capturing a very special time in a mother’s life, belly casting has been gaining in popularity over the years with celebrities like Kelly Ripa and Elisabeth Hasselbeck of The View even sharing their finished casts on television.
Nipping at its heels in popularity, though, is the company’s new bellyfacial™. A spa-quality skincare solution, it addresses the concerns expectant mothers have regarding stretch marks and dry, itchy skin. “We’ve had a tremendous response to the bellyfacial™ since its launch. This award really reinforces the fact that this is a product whose time has come,” says DeSemple. GearAwards™ judges agree, too, stating, “WE think you would have a hard time finding a pregnant woman that wouldn’t want a bellyfacial. All of ours loved it.”
Not to be outdone, Eternal Maternal’s bellybalm™ took home a Seal of Excellence award. A rich blend of shea butter and natural oils, the whipped balm is perfect for pregnant bellies and anywhere else Mom wants to feel pampered. “It’s an amazing product,” DeSemple says, adding that, “In a world where we’re increasingly finding that the word ‘natural’ on a product label doesn’t necessarily mean it is, this is one product that really fits the bill and that moms can feel safe about using.”
Eternal Maternal’s award winning products and more can be found on their website at www.eternalmaternal.com as well as at select retailers.
