We are delighted to announce that Stuff for Sprouts — a new natural line of skincare for children — is teaming up with First Book to give new books to the kids who need them most. 2% of all online sales at www.stuff4sprouts.com will be donated to First Book.

Launched in September 2007, Stuff for Sprouts features exclusive formulas developed by the owner of the company, Kristen Bassick, to treat the persistent dry skin of her own children, or “sprouts” as she likes to call them. Kristen is so sure that her stuff is great that she offers a money back guarantee.

All products are free of parabens, nut oils, animal products, soy, artificial colors, or chemical fillers. The company also offers parents phthalate-free product choices. Stuff for Sprouts does not do any animal testing and always promises to produce products with “Nothing weird. Nothing gross. Just good stuff for dry skin.”

Upon checking out, customers are also being encouraged to add an additional $1 contribution to First Book to their purchase.

“We are excited about this opportunity to support such a great organization,” said Kristen Bassick, creator of Stuff for Sprouts. “My children are huge readers and love the idea of helping other kids gain access to books!”
