Organic Essentials by Susan
A few months back I attended a conference on clean beauty. I was more than disappointed to find out how the beauty industry can take advantage of women with ingredients that contain metals, toxins and endocrine disruptors. I also learned how easy it is to make your own products with clean ingredients and being part-scientist I came up with a few recipes for body cream, face balm, face serum and lip balm. I started this only to make products for myself and friends. However, I was highly encouraged to start a line and begin selling these products to help others with affordable clean skincare.
Using these products made me happy and also made my body happy as I felt better and so…Organic Essentials by Susan was born.
