Our Story

Ziggy’s Pudding® is a vegan, cruelty-free, natural, and clean skincare company, with a focus on children, and people with sensitive and irritated skin. Our approach is the use of predominately organic oil-based products to restore, protect and rejuvenate the skin. We source certified organic, organic, and sustainably wild-harvested raw materials to create our skincare products. Our range of nourishing, simple yet potent, skin-friendly, nontoxic products is the perfect solution for those suffering from eczema, babies with diaper rash, cradle cap, dry skin, dermatitis, and sensitive and irritated skin. 

Our values

skin barrier protection, vegan skincare, crueltyfree skincare, baby skincare, sustainable beauty, clean beauty.

We create natural skincare that is:

  • Skin protecting

The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It functions as a protector against our harsh environment, pathogens, chemicals, and other irritants. Protecting the skin barrier is one of the most important aspects of having healthy skin. Our products are formulated to support the skin barrier and reduce irritation and inflammation which in turn improves the appearance of the skin. We focus on natural skin care with little to no essential oils. While essential oils can be beneficial in skin care, we have found that for those with sensitive skin, essential oils can become irritating. 

  • Certified vegan & cruelty-free

We are one of the few black woman-owned, natural skincare brands that are certified vegan and cruelty-free. We chose to partner with PETA for this certification because we value and admire the constant, tireless efforts of PETA to protect animals from torture, cruelty, unnecessary experiments, and death. We believe veganism means compassion, not only for our fellow humans but also for the animals we share our planet with. All of our products, from ingredients to finished products, are made from plant-derived ingredients and are never tested on animals.

  • Sustainable

Our planet is our only home. Skincare should not be a contributing factor to all the things that are harming our environment. We as a skincare company believe in being responsible for our carbon footprint. We are an eco-friendly company which means that having sustainable products and packaging is our top priority. We chose glass to package all our body care products because it's easy to reuse, recycle and reduce.

 

We follow the EU standard when formulating our skincare products.

Why is that? Because the EU has prohibited over 1300 ingredients to be used in skincare products, While the FDA has banned 11, and the EU also requires every ingredient in the skincare product to be listed on the packaging, increasing transparency and helping you make informed decisions about your skincare choices.

We produce skincare that smells like well, plants…

We choose to limit our use of essential oils, and never use artificial fragrances because quite frankly, your skincare products need to work, period. Our focus is on natural skincare that is effective, restorative, and rejuvenating.

Our Founder

Registered Nurse founder

Mfon Ekpe-Dancy RN, BSN is a critical care nurse with over 10+ years of caring for patients from children to the elderly. She is also a certified natural skin and hair care formulator and a holistic health coach. She has seen her share of acute and chronic illnesses overwhelm, devastate, and tragically end people's lives. When her own family member experienced a catastrophic illness, it led her to take a deep dive into natural health and holistic healing.

Our Inspiration

"When our firstborn, Ziggy started experiencing recurrent diaper rashes and eczema, and nothing on the market was working for his skin, I was forced to take my natural health knowledge and use it to create natural products to restore and heal his skin. With subsequent children experiencing eczema, I perfected my formulation and started sharing it with friends and family. Fast forward to now, we have a skincare brand here to serve the needs of those suffering from eczema, diaper rash, dry skin, and irritated and sensitive skin.

I founded this company because, I have a deep conviction that most conditions have a natural, holistic solution. Here at Ziggy's Pudding, we strive to create products for people with sensitive and irritated skin in mind. When I was looking for a viable alternative for my children's skin, I could not find it. I know that feeling, and if I can create and provide a solution to you that will bring relief without toxins, then I am fulfilled" -Mfon
