What's the secret to beautiful skin?

Hi! I am Marlene and I have very dry, mature skin which is also very sensitive and I experience strong reactions to a large variety of allergens that change with the seasons, but also to things that come into contact with my skin. Childhood eczema and reactions to chemicals and synthetic ingredients as an adult started me on my journey to find Holistic Plant Remedies, 100% natural beauty and bath products, 100% natural green living household products and luxurious 100% natural pampering products.

When I couldn't find anything in the stores, even health food stores, that didn't include that "pinch" of chemical preservative (that I felt made the whole product toxic) I decided to make my own. After trial and error I developed some recipes for 100% natural Butters 'n Balms that could be used from head-to-toe, even the face. I had found my calling! I loved the whole process of learning which ingredients provided the benefits for the skin that I was looking for. And better yet, I loved how it made my skin feel and look. Like a nutritious diet, this was nutrition for the skin, only you didn't have to eat your broccoli!

The ingredients include butters, oils and essential oils made from fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, flowers and other parts of the plants provided by Mother Nature. The salt of the earth, along with oxides, are rich in minerals and sun-shielding elements to nourish and protect our skin. Like the food we eat, these ingredients provide nature-made vitamins and nutrients that our skin needs to be healthy.

I was so excited about learning that what you put on your skin is absorbed by the skin, so it better be good for you! I also reasoned that there must be a lot of other people with similar concerns and those who just wanted a healthier lifestyle for themselves and their families. So my mission is simple: to provide the highest-quality Holistic Plant Remedies, 100% natural beauty and bath products, 100% natural green living household products and luxurious 100% natural pampering products to my customers and to guide them in making healthier choices for themselves and their families.

To do this I expanded my knowledge by researching the pros and cons of natural skincare using the internet, the library and reading as many books as I could find in the book stores. I followed that up by studying Aromatherapy and the benefits of essential oils from plants. This was followed up with a course in making Natural Lotions and Creams and also Natural Mineral Makeup with a wonderful holistic aromatherapist from England. If people only knew what they were putting on their skin, and the possible effects, they would shudder!

I am currently working on my Certified Aromatherapist qualifications and hope to complete these courses by the summer of this year.

Today my business has expanded from Butters 'n Balms to Terra Bella Naturals to encompass Holistic Plant Remedies, 100% natural beauty and bath products, 100% natural green living household products and luxurious 100% natural pampering products. I still make everything myself in small batches to maintain quality and purity for each and every product. This insures that it is always fresh and doesn't contain harmful preservative chemicals.

My husband is a great support in this business. He shares his ideas and gives me his honest opinion on everything from website and label design to how a product feels on his skin. We test every product on ourselves first and I appreciate his patience and input, especially when he suggests a new product.

The Garden of Eden does exist, and it is right outside your door! I hope you find everything you need here and look forward to helping you benefit from the bounty of nature with Terra Bella Naturals.
