Nilotica Lip Care
One of my favorite products from our new African Adventures Collection has to be our Madagascar Vanilla Nilotica Lip Care. A rich blend of organic, fair trade Nilotica shea butter form Uganda and five exotic oils from all over the African continent, it glides effortlessly across the lips to soothe, enrich and nourish. Infused with kiss of Madagascar vanilla absolute and a dash of clementine essential oil, it smells positively divine…and it’s 100% natural, too!

The most famous tree in all of Africa, the baobab is nicknamed the “upside down tree” because its braches look like roots sticking up in the air. A myriad of folklore surrounds the baobab: in West Africa, natives believe that spirits inhabit the flowers and lions devour anyone foolish enough to pluck a bloom. In Zambia, it’s considered good luck to wash the seeds in a river as it wards off crocodiles. In Nigeria, the tree is revered as a symbol of fertility and couples marry beneath its branches. The seed of the baobab fruit is pressed to yield a luscious oil celebrated for its ability to quickly absorb and soften skin without clogging pores. Say it: Bow-o-bab. Native to Kenya. Find it in: Baobab & Red Tea Naturally Nourishing Shampoo, Madagascar Vanilla Nilotica Lip Care, Argan & Acacia Rich Body Creme

Join me in DCJuly 29, 2008Bella Luccè was asked to participate in a cool study by Iowa State University, designed to understand the current market and challenges for bio-based products in hopes that they can initiate policy and legislation designed to boost the “green” market. That’s exciting stuff that’s close to my heart, so I was honored to be a part. You can read more about the study here and watch that same page this fall for study results. I sat for my interview today and am excited to see what the study brings. It seems that regulatory matters are on the hearts and minds of many these days. I am headed up to Washington D.C. next week to meet up with Donna Maria Coles-Johnson (of Indie Business) and Anne-Marie Faiola (of Brambleberry) to address congressional staffers regarding the Food and Drug Globalization Act of 2008. It’s our hope to bring a small-business perspective to the table and encourage our congresspeople to reconsider several pieces of that legislation which would negatively impact the handmade toiletry industry. If you’d like to join us after the Congressional meeting, we’d love to see you for dinner, cocktails, de-briefing and strategy talks. Here are the details: When: August 5, 2008 Please leave a comment on Donna Maria’s blog with your RSVP if you plan to attend. Hope to see you there! Tagsprinter friendly |
