*Product Plug* - Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps

I know, I know...how many different beauty products could I possibly have and use?  It's just that lately I've been getting so many different ones, whether it be on my own or as gifts.  I don't typically try so many new products this frequently.  That being said, I do have another great one to recommend.  I recently bought one of Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps.  What really sold me was the label on the product.  The soap is made with Hemp and Organic Oils.  Not only that, but it is wrapped in 10% hemp-flax / 90% post-consumer recycled paper from Living Tree Paper Co. and it is a Certified Fair Trade product.  You might be asking yourself:  What is Fair Trade?  It means that Dr. Bronner's business takes care of their employees with generous salaries and benefits (no-deductible PPO health insurance and a great profit-sharing/retirement plan that they fully fund).  They cap executive pay at five times the lowest-paid position, and they give all profits not needed for business development to support progressive charities and causes.  Additionally, Dr. Bronner's has extended this philosophy to the farmers and workers around the world who produce their major raw materials (representing over 95% of their annual agricultural volume). Along with their families and communities, they benefit from fair prices, living wages and funding for local development projects. Shifting the supply chains to certified Fair Trade ingredients makes a big difference in the lives of several thousand farmers and workers — and is money well spent.  So, as you use these wonderfully smelling and great lathering soaps (my favorite is the Peppermint), you can feel even better knowing that you are helping your skin, the planet, and other people.  Pretty cool if you ask me.  P.S.  They make more products than just soap.  Check it all out on their website!
