small and natural body care

Thanks Triskele. I agree completely. I too was disappointed at the sell out of both Burt's & Tom's - for me it was kind of like finding out my favorite slippers that were once made in the US are now manufactured in China.  Buying local is both better for the planet, and your local economy. I discovered a line of skin care products I like better than Burt's Bees that are made right here in Maine using organically grown ingredients - Aveena made in Rockport Maine. They even let visitors tour their over 2 acres of organic gardens and the owner Deb Soule is often on hand to answer any questions about thier skin care product line and their herbal medicines.

The additional item of concern in the big-fish-eats-smaller-fish buyout of companies is where the products will now be made. If these once domestically made products will now be made overseas, we need to think about the impact of buying personal care products that were shipped across the ocean using much fossil fuel after being manufactured by people making less than adequate wages.

Opt for local. You may just discover a new favorite product.On Umbra on green-company buyouts posted 1 year, 9 months ago 13 Responses
