Reef Botanicals Goes Earth-Friendly

In addition to being approved by Green People for our use of all-natural ingredients, we do make an attempt to keep things as Earth-friendly as possible at Reef Botanicals. For packing materials, we recycle the packing paper in which our supplies are shipped to us, and if we run out of that, we shred the supermarket bags from our own purchases. At craft fairs, we sell our soaps and shampoos "naked," to avoid wasteful packaging where we can.

We also like, of course, to pack as much into one single box as possible, to lessen the transportation impact on the environment. It's better for the environment if you stock up all at once than if you make single-item purchases one at a time. Therefore, in honor of Earth Day, all orders over $10 placed at Reef Botanicals on April 22, between midnight and midnight EST, will qualify for FREE SHIPPING!

Sorry, U.S. orders only.

It's Not Easy Being Green

OK, sometimes it is.  I am proud to announce that we have been approved by GreenPeople and have a listing in their directory!

What is GreenPeople?  It bills itself as the world's largest directory of eco-friendly and holistic health products and considers itself to be a community service.  Their motto is simple:  Buy Green, Sell Green, Be Green.

The requirement for listing in the directory?  That the store's products contain natural (nonsynthetic) ingredients or allowed synthetic ingredients as defined by the National Organic Program.

Reef Botanicals, because of our commitment to handcrafting only all-natural products, has qualified for a listing!

Among the items in their mission statement are their commitment to create a more compassionate world, to practice honesty in business, and to help like-minded people meet, network, support and empower each other to help us reach our potential.  They also care for safety, fairness, environmental protection, and accurate product labeling.  We can get behind that.

Kermit would be proud.
