Many of you Queen Bee Sauce fans know that we work hard to be green.  We recycle all the materials that our vendors ship us.  We reuse packing materials and shred paper.  The Queen composts with worms and mulch piles.  We don’t produce lots of printed marketing materials and send out paper mailers and catalogs.  Our products are produced for retail without extra layers of packaging.  Our products are made with attention to the source of each ingredient to ensure we are walking lightly on this green earth.

If you haven’t already considered the reasons to switch to organics in your skin care, let us give you something to ponder…

Why switch to organic skin care products?
Your skin is your barrier to the world, keeping you safe from bacteria and the elements.  Traditionally formulated skin care products contain chemicals that you wouldn’t consider eating or drinking, yet because we absorb products into our blood stream through our skin (think of a nicotine patch or “the pill”) that is what we are doing. 

Take a look in your bathroom to see what ingredients are listed on your favorite products.  They may be new formulations that are healthy, but often you find words like Tricolsan (common in hand sanitizers), Sodium Laurel Sulphate (found in things that foam it is a strong detergent and car degreaser), and five kinds of parabens (linked to breast cancer used as a preservative in lotions) that you might see.  These three top the list of nasty chemicals found in beauty products.  To test your current products look them up for free:  www.cosmeticsdatabase.com

The good news is switching to new products may be an easy way to both save money and go green.  Lots of new small companies create fresh skin care products with attention to the overall health of our consumers.  We make smaller batches and often hand-make our products in order to ensure quality control and eco-conscious choices for sourcing and packaging.  Even the top lines of organic skin care products will be half  the cost of similar products sold through department stores.  They often have better quality ingredients with less glamor packaging.

So as we cherish the bright green grass that our summer storms have delivered, what better way to bring a smile to our faces than start a fresh green sale.
