The Gift of “Green†Beauty
Let’s start with the mom who eats organic and pays very close attention to what she uses in her hair and on her skin. For this mom reading beauty product labels is just as important as checking produce stickers and recycling.

Create a care package of products for mom by selecting several items from the wholesome line of products, putting them in a recycled basket and tying it with a beautiful bow. Chances are your basket will be later returned with a gift for you…mom is so resourceful!
