MOMS WHO ROCK!

I'm so excited to introduce you to an incredible, hardworking, creative, rockstar Mom Mfon! We had the pleasure of meeting and quickly connecting through my cousins, and once I heard about Mfon's new business and phenomenal product I had to spread the word. Meet Mfon Ekpe Dancy!

Thank you Stephanie for the opportunity to introduce myself to your readers. It is such an honor to work with moms who uplift and encourage others. I am Mfon Ekpe-Dancy, wife, mom of three and founder of Ziggy’s Pudding - a vegan skincare brand.

I was a critical care registered nurse for over 13 years and have been a holistic health and wellness facilitator for over 10years. I am Nigerian, born in America, raised in New York and have been loving, living life here in sunny, Southern California.

My company, Ziggy’s Pudding was inspired by my two sons one of which “Ziggy” battled diaper rashes for the first three months of his life followed by eczema. Not being able to find an effective solution that was not loaded with chemicals pushed me to create our baby body butter ( a vegan moisturizer for eczema, diaper rash, dry skin and minor skin irritations).

After perfecting the recipe, I sent it to friends and family to try and received great feedback. I never thought to start a company around my concoction until my children’s pediatrician asked me what I was using on their skin and for the recipe. I hope to continue to provide skincare options that are effective, non-toxic, vegan and gentle for children. As a natural

health enthusiast, it is my joy to share how to use a plant based lifestyle to help heal your body and provide long term healthy living.
