About Us

Our Story

Having worked in the beauty industry for many years our founders, Darcy and Thomas came to the realization that shampoos in particular were often marketed with false promises and wasteful ingredients.    We wanted to get back to the original purpose of shampoo.   Cleanse the hair.   Ideally, cleanse the hair in a safe, and gentle way with as little waste as possible.  That’s it.   Less is more.   Keep it simple and safe. 

Our Mission

“Produce safe and gentle products with as little waste as possible for the common good.”

We achieve our mission by our tenets.

  1. Create shampoos with as few ingredients as possible for an effective, safe and gentle experience.
  2. Your purchase of any shampoo will give a like product or equivalent to a shelter or organization in need.

At Baby Dog Mama, we believe in the power of giving back. That’s why we are thrilled to invite charitable organizations to join us on our mission. With every shampoo purchase, we are committed to donating a shampoo to someone in need. If your organization aligns with our commitment to the common good, we would love to hear from you.

Our Story

Our story starts with an uncommon trust between our two founders, Darcy Michalek and Thomas Sena.  Trust in each other and eventually, trust in our mission and ultimately, in you.

Darcy and Thomas have worked in the beauty industry for many years.  They came to the realization that shampoo companies were teaching the public to have unrealistic expectations of a shampoo’s function and purpose.  They were doing this by selling two unnecessary things along with their shampoos…  empty promises and wasteful ingredients.  Shampoo has a very important but simple function.  Cleanse the hair.   That’s it.   The best shampoos should be ones that cleanse the hair in a safe and gentle way with as little wasted as possible.  Our mission was born.  Shampoos should not try to be anything but shampoo.  There are a multitude of conditioners and styling products out there that can or should be used for what you wish to achieve beyond cleansing the hair.

“Produce a safe and gentle shampoo with as little waste as possible.”

We simply adopted the philosophy of “less is more”.  We started by creating shampoos with as few ingredients as practical for an effective and safe experience.  This is the safest most honest approach to cleansing your hair in a gentle way that reduces the most waste… waste of unrealistic expectations, waste of money and environmental waste down the drain.
We also kept our core mission and offerings as a company as simple as possible by starting with just 3 shampoos… 1 for your baby, 1 for your dog and 1 for mama.  Hence, our name,  “Baby Dog Mama.”

Giving Back

Next came our commitment to share.  We were inspired by companies that were committed to sharing with those in need.  Not just a portion of profits but a full throated commitment baked in.  We commit that for every shampoo purchased, a shampoo (or equal bulk product) will be given to a corresponding shelter or non-profit organization.  Baby and Mama shampoos go to women and family shelters or the like and dog shampoos go to animal shelters and orgs.  Shampoos along with other personal hygiene items consistently rank high in terms of need for shelters.   Your support will make a difference.
