Presenting… Marmalade Pink!

Posted by ADVERTORIAL at 2:49 pm

By: Amy ~ From Marmalade Pink

I’m happy to be here on Beauty Chat to introduce you to Marmalade Pink. Marmalade Pink is a fun, fabulous co-operative of some of the hottest independent businesses in the country. Here you will find talented women designers, artisans, and business owners who provide consumers with truly unique products and top-notch customer service. Our collective shops offer jewelry, artwork, spices, clothing, accessories, home linens, bath and body products, and even psychic readings!

We have so many things to enhance your natural beauty; you can be renewed, bejeweled, and pampered head to toe. Literally, you can get everything from shampoo to toe rings! But, why shop with us? For one, we offer a socially-conscious shopping you can feel good about. By shopping with our retailers, you are supporting the small businesses that make our country’s economy stronger and more vital. Also, many of our members’ products are eco-friendly (gorgeous cloth napkins, anyone?) Some are even downright good for you; take for instance, handmade soap.

All natural soap is better for your skin than mainstream grocery store brands, as most of those soaps are full of detergents and chemicals. Handmade soaps retain all the natural glycerin, naturally occurring in the soap making process. You may know that glycerin is a moisturizer, but did you know that commercial soaps often extract it and then add chemicals to simulate the same thing? With commercial soaps you may find that you need lotions or some kind of moisturizer on your skin. Handmade soaps leave your skin feeling soft and clean and after a time, you find you do not need lotions like you used to!

Looking for soap for a specific skin issue? We’ve got you covered there too! For instance, Rayne’s Purely Herbal, sold by Marmalade Pink member After the Rayne, is an all-natural soap that is specifically made to help with rosacea, eczema and psoriasis. Besides the oils of Coconut, Olive, Palm, Fair Trade Shea Butter, Mango Butter, Cocoa Butter, Castor Oil, Apricot and Almond Oils, we have added Neem Oil. Scientific research has confirmed that Neem seed oil may be a very effective organic antiseptic, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, dermatological agent.

Independent artists, designers, writers, and craftswomen are the backbone of the retail world. They create trends, enliven communities, and give shoppers alternatives not available anywhere else. Marmalade Pink is your opportunity to shop beautifully.

Enter our giveaway and win a basket of gifts from Marmalade Pink Members valued at over $150!
