Our Founder

FOUNDER:

Inga Tritt founded The Original Little Sprout^® in 2003 and Original Sprout in 2007. The name Little Sprout was inspired by the birth of her daughter Maya. Inga was born in Germany and grew up in Montecito, California. Her love of nature, art and architecture led to a successful career as a master stylist. Wanting to be a full time mom led her to selling her salons & spas and moving to the country, where she now lives with her family.

PRODUCT HISTORY:

Our founder delighted in her newborn daughter's thick hair. Wanting to use the safest bath products led to her trying natural baby shampoos. To her surprise, all the shampoos reeked havoc her daughter's hair and sensitive skin. To remedy the problem Inga created the first of it's kind, ultra moisturizing natural baby bath & styling products. The benefits of being a master stylist with professional experience & a mother with real life experience culminated into Original Sprout, a globally trusted natural family brand.

SAFE FAMILIES:

Parents trust Original Sprouts superior performance & worry-free ingredients. Cancer & early puberty can be linked to hormone disruption, hence no natural or synthetic hormone disrupters such as soy, yam, tea tree, lavender, parabens, titanium dioxide, nano-particles, formaldehyde or phototoxic citrus oils are ever added to our formulas. In addition formulas are free of insect attracting honey or fruit.

WORRY-FREE FRAGRANCES:

Essential oils & perfumes commonly contain skin penetrating estrogen disrupters. Because of this Original Sprout has non estrogenic fragrances created, so smelling good is worry-free! Our fragrances are free of ingredients linked to cancer concerns such as citrus oils, phthalates, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, styrene toluene, chlorobenzene, glycol ethers & musk.

Staying healthy & beautiful is easy with Original Sprout. Women trust & enjoy our superior, prevention based formulas.

Original Sprout is adamantly against animal testing and is proud to support Peta in the ethical treatment of animals. All products are vegan, and lanolin, used in the Baby hair Balm, is from wool so the sheep are not harmed.

ENVIRONMENT:

Original Sprout is environmentally responsible. Company cars run on biodiesel and recycling is standard. Recycled shipping boxes are commonly used and skylights are in the fulfillment center for reduced energy consumption.
