Daisy Blue Naturals: Like a Green Avon!
If you’ve ever read the ingredients on conventional shampoo, body wash, or lotion, you know how many chemicals and unpronouncable ingredients are in them. Jena Thompson, 33, a trained chemist and mother of two started Daisy Blue Naturals five years ago in response to the already overly-toxic world we all share.
DBN has a large product line for all you picky people out there, which makes it an easy one-stop shop for all the bathroom basics. There are no parabens, petrochemicals, artificial phosphates or sulfates, are not tested on animals, and are all biodegradable. They make a full ingredients listing available on their site, which is often tough to find.
Like Avon, DBN is sold at parties or through ‘consultants’, though these days sales are made through the internet as well if you aren’t into the idea of a product party.
Tami Molitor Delano, a DBN independent consultant and team leader from Minnesota was nice enough to send me samples to try, and I give them the Eco Chick thumbs up! The mango skin therapy cream, the bulgarian lavender oil and the calendula and honey baby oil (which I used right after a shower) all smelled great, moisturized me quite nicely, and came in easily recyclable containers without extra packaging.
Tami says, “I love the products because they are simple, safe and healthy for everyone in my family.” Tami Contact Tami here if you want to buy, and like most direct marketers, the company is always looking for more folks to become salespeople.
