Nature's Untapped Resources
I started ButterMeUp for myself back in 2008. I was living in Pasadena and had always been VERY particular about the products I used on myself. At that time, that meant you shopped at Whole Foods or the lucky boutique you ran across once every 5 years that didn't just make things that smelled good. Finally, one day after spending $25 on a body butter, I thought to myself, 'I can make this'...and ButterMeUpOrganics was created. I spent the next THREE years pouring over ingredients, benefits, quality, safety, certifications and where the ingredients came from and carefully crafted each recipe with purpose. Each recipe is my own and many, many hours of care and research was poured into every one. I chose things not on the cost but for the most benefit each recipe could bring. I designed everything to have the most therapeutic qualities possible in the bottle/jar/tin.
Many people tried to convince me along the way to use plastic and with the extreme added cost of glass, especially in shipping, I almost did. But I just couldn't bring myself to do it. It just seemed to negate all of the care that I put into the standards of the ingredients and the recipes.
Well here we are, years later and I'm beyond happy with the choices I made. My margins aren't nearly as high as others. I could get everything cheaper, but I feel great about the product that I'm giving. I KNOW it's the best that's out there, and that makes me feel great.
I love emails. I've received many emails with photos about how the Boo Boo b Gone helped a child's eczema disappear the same day or how a mother bought the acne treatment and green soap for her high school son with severe acne and now it's gone. Seeing those before and afters give me a feeling I can't even describe as anything but purpose. I'm doing what I love, helping people with the best ingredients available here on earth. Who wouldn't be happy?
