As promised I wanted to include the ingredients of each product on my blog because I completely understand the importance of knowing what's in the products you put on your body.

I love the fact that Malea was on board with my little interview idea because the answers she provided really help explain how and why she created her shop. I hope you enjoy reading over this as much as I did!
1. What got you interested in all natural and organic beauty products?
One day I was looking at the ingredients in my high end store bought lotion. It contained high amounts of alcohol and mineral oil. They add alcohol to help the lotion dry fast when you apply it but it also drys your skin so it's really not doing you any favors. And mineral oil is like pouring motor oil on your skin. It's harvested the same way. Yuck. So I set out to find products that would actually moisturize my skin and that I would feel good about putting on my body.
After I started making products for my family, I had an excess of product so I took it to a show I was already doing for my pottery (maleaspottery.com) and sold out of bath products and got two wholesale orders out of it. A new business was born!
2. Did you always have plans to create an Etsy shop?
I have always been a huge fan of Etsy. It seemed a natural platform for my products and has done very well for me.
3. Out of all the products you offer which one is your favorite?
It's a tie. I love my Cheeky, organic cheek color because it's just so good for your skin and it gives just the right amount of color to look like a natural blush of color on your cheeks. I am also a huge fan of my Cleansed, cleansing serum. It's a mix of a dozen organic and wild crafted oils that break down the skins sebum deposits, lift dirt and grime and wipes away smooth. My skin has never looked more radiant.
4. Do you have any future plans on expanding your line? If so, what do you want to include?
I am looking at a few other colors of Cheeky to be able to accommodate all skin tones and and also make one that is more color and less moisture for people who want organic color but might have oily or combination skin.
I am also going to be working on more lip tint colors but replacing the beeswax with carnauba wax as it is harder, will stand up to summer heat and will make all my products vegan friendly.
5. What is your favorite beauty product at the moment and why do you love it?
Tarte SmolderEYES Amazonian clay eye pencil. I don't wear a lot of make up but this portable pencil can look natural and is buildable for more intense evening looks. That plus my Cheeky and Lip Tint and I'm good to go!
Thank you so much for reading and please let me know if you enjoyed this post!
Are you into using natural and organic products?
Love, Lacey
