I am so excited to share with you all of the wonderful changes that you will notice in our products, on our labels and packaging.  We have been offering you the most natural and best hair and skin care products since 1999.  We are now taking it one step further.  Over the past year, we have been integrating organic ingredients into our formulations and are proud to announce that most of our products contain from  80 to 100 percent certified organic ingredients.

  Why Natural and Organic?  According the the Environmental Working Group, the average American adult is exposed to over 126 chemicals from skin care products alone, and of the 10,500 chemicals used in both hair and skin care products, only 11 percent have been tested for safety.  Your skin is your largest organ and what you put on it is absorbed into your system.  To keep harmful chemicals off of your hair and skin, read the label.  Our labels will put a smile on your face as they do mine.  No dictionary required to understand what is behind your ingredients.  Pure natural organic wholesome ingredients is what you will find.  Plain and simple.

  The following ingredients are now certified organic in our formulations:  Shea Butter, Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil, Soybean Oil, Aloe Vera Juice, Palm Oil, Coconut Oil, Sunflower Oil, Cocoa Butter, Avocado oil, Almond oil, Vinegar and most of our herbs and essential oils.  Ingredients that are not certified are as always 100 percent natural and in their most virgin form. 

  I am also please to announce that we are splitting our line into two brands.  The Ebene brand focuses on natural and organic hair care and the Botanistry brand focuses on natural and organic skin, body and home care.  Starting this month, all of the skin care products that you will receive will have the Botanistry label on them. 

  Please note that due to those wonderful changes and our continued effort to bring you the best and most natural products, their will be a price increase on some of your favorites.  We are offering a FREE membership card to all of our customers who place an order of $50 or more.  This card will entitle you to 20 percent off of all of your orders until December 31, 2007 on all Ebene, Ebene Kids and Botanistry products.

Than you again for your continued support.  From our family to yours, enjoy.
