NATURALLY WOMAN OWNED FOUNDERS’ TOP GIFT PICKS FOR THE 2020 HOLIDAY SEASON
(forward by Allyson Owens, founder of Pleni Naturals)
Happy Holidays! Did you know October is National Women’s Small Business Month? The focus and support of female-led businesses is especially important this year as COVID has significantly impacted women in the work place and many have had to step away from their jobs to care for children and family members. Some have even coined this challenging time as the first “female recession”.
In support and celebration of women-founded businesses (and all women, really), we’ve partnered with some of our favorite woman-owned businesses in the naturals category and are sharing our top product picks from each others’ brands.
Janis, Founder of Kosmatology Picks:
Erin’s Faces – I love Love LOVE their Matcha Mascara. I wear it in black and love the length and definition it gives my lashes. Also, as a contact wearer it is hard to find mascara that doesn’t irritate my eyes and this one never does.
Honeybee Gardens – I love their Alcohol Free Facial Toner. I added it to my facial routine 3 years ago and it has been a permanent addition ever since!
Molly Suds – I am never without their Sink Scrub in Citrus. I have a porcelain farmhouse sink and this scrub gets it so clean and shiny! I also exclusively use their dish soap in Lemon Burst. I love the fresh lemon scent and how easily it cleans, especially greasy pots.
Pleni Naturals – I use their Enzyme Cleansing Oil as a double cleanse with my Kosmatology Rose Geranium face wash and my skin has never been happier! The cleansing oil lifts away dirt and grime and removes my make-up and then the face wash washes it all away. This is the perfect duo!
Tuore – I love their Conditioning Lip Oil. When I just want a little shine, it is my go-to product.
Laguna Herbals - I haven’t had the pleasure of trying this amazing brand but I did meet the owner Andrea a few years back and she is lovely! On my wish list is to try their bath salts. One of my favorite ways to relax and unwind is with a nice, hot bath and I guarantee these bath salts will bring the relaxation to the next level!
