Bee-yond Body Balm Both USDA Organic & Fair Trade Certified(TM)
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- BeeCeuticals Organics, a company dedicated to providing body care products that enhance the health and well-being of their customers, community and the planet has launched an innovative and earth friendly way to package their Hive Five(TM) Kits. The new case, which contains five travel size products, is made entirely from 100% U.S. grown corn, not foreign petroleum. This material is produced from plastic that consists of polylactide, a corn-based versatile polymer.
"As ex-organic farmers in Maine, this package offers us an opportunity to support fellow U.S. farmers while offering our customers a beautiful package that is good for the environment," says Richie Gerber, President of BeeCeuticals Organics. "Many companies, including natural and organic ones, use vinyl bags for their kits even though it is one of the most toxic materials to produce. We wanted to move away from that, and believe we have found the most environmentally-friendly alternative with corn plastic."
Corn plastic is more energy efficient than other plastics and takes 60% less fossil fuel to produce. It also comes from yearly renewable resources, is recyclable, and industrially compostable and biodegradable. To view the new packaging, go to http://www.beeceuticals.com/store/press/balm_kit.jpg.
BeeCeuticals Organics is currently one of only two body care brands to be Fair Trade Certified(TM) by TransFair USA, the only third-party certifier of Fair Trade products in the United States. Fair trade guarantees livable wages for the workers and families of ingredient producers to improve opportunities for healthcare, housing and education.
All the items in the kit have a high percentage of certified organic
ingredients and also contain their proprietary Organic Holistic Honey
