On May 1st, OLEHENRIKSEN FACE/BODY Spa is proud to team up with EcoBabyWorld and the American Red Cross for their 1st Annual Green Event. The event will be held at the beautiful Bel Air Bay Club, located on a bluff with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean! We’ll be hosting the luxurious on-site spa suite where we’ll be providing over 200 invitees with customized spa treatments!
"I am absolutely thrilled to be working alongside Red Cross and their incredible staff for this event," says EcoBabyWorld's CEO Jeanne Holm Ackah. "Eco-friendly products are becoming important in the everyday lives of families, and we are thrilled to be able to showcase some amazing companies that represent the best in their field," she says.
EcoBabyWorld was established by Jeanne when she started using natural products on her newborn daughter’s skin and discovered that it cleared up any rashes and dry skin overnight!
Green Carpet arrivals begin at 10 am and by noon, and award ceremony honoring IN STYLE Magazine’s Kelly Austing will begin. Kelly is receiving the 2010 EcoBabyWorld/American Red Cross “Inspirational Mom of the Year Award” for her exceptional efforts in the fight against Autism and her commitment to using eco-friendly products as a way to help overcome many afflictions and diseases.
All proceeds from the invitation-only event will directly benefit the American Red Cross, Santa Monica Chapter. This star-studded and family friendly event highlighting socially conscious products and companies alike is set to be unforgettable!
Curious to see how it all turns out? Check back soon for some fun photos from the event!

Earth Day is just a few short days away! Here at OLEHENRIKSEN, we believe in being celebratory of life and maintaining a continued commitment to health and wellness – and that includes the health and wellness of our planet!
One of the ways we do this is with our product boxes—they’re 100% recyclable and manufactured locally. We also recently began using Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified paper board for all of our product boxes. This certification system provides an internationally recognized standard for responsible production and consumption of forest products.
As far as the day-to-day, we make sure to do our part at the corporate office and distribution center by doing things like turning off lights in rooms that aren’t being used and using real dishes when we eat food or go to get water out of the water cooler.
As a way to celebrate Earth Month and continue our commitment to a healthy planet, we wanted to kick recycling up a notch. So, we came up with the OLEHENRIKSEN Alter-Eco Online Challenge. We’re challenging you to come up with the most creative way to repurpose your OLEHENRIKSEN product containers. Get as imaginative and inventive as you can – whether it’s finding a new use for your jars and bottles or turning them into a sculpture, all ideas are welcome! There is no limit to the number of containers you can use to build your creation. To view the official contest description and to participate, click here. We of course, encourage you to recycle all of your OLEHENRIKSEN packaging, but isn’t it fun to get creative and figure out a new, useful way to repurpose it?!
As Ole says, “Let your inner voice govern your creativity!” We’re very excited to see what everyone comes up with!
