Mark. Fair Trade Body Collection

Mark. is coming out with a line of fair trade products!!!

Don't know what fair trade means?
According to wikipedia:
"Fair Trade is an organized social movement and market-based approach that aims to help producers in developing countries obtain better trading conditions and promote sustainability. The movement advocates the payment of a higher price to producers as well as social and environmental standards. It focuses in particular on exports from developing countries to developed countries, most notably handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, honey, cotton, wine, fresh fruit, chocolate and flowers."

There will be 4 products to start with and they are all being added permanently to the Mark line!
  • Fresh Approach Hydrating Body Cleanser (with fair trade honey)
  • Do The Right Thing Smooth Body Lotion SPF 15 (with fair trade honey and cocoa butter)
  • Relief Effort Total Comfort Body Cream (with fair trade cocoa butter, olive oil, and chamomile)
  • The Big Fix 15-in-1 Big Benefits Lip Balm (with fair trade cocoa butter, olive oil, and vanilla)
The Mark trendspotters have already recieved these products and are posting rave reviews! Apparently most of the products have a fresh cucumber smell, which everyone seems to like so far. These products focus more on being good for our skin and being hydrating, rather than smelling like flowers or something like that. I'm most excited about the lip balm which apparently work wonders on any dry skin you may have whether it be your elbows or your feet!

The products will be available in Magalog 8 (Mid July-Mid August) so I will keep you updated on reviews and comments!
