After the birth of my first baby in 2001, the need for all-natural baby care became my top priority. Commercial brands were readily available, yet not pure enough for my baby’s delicate skin. Concerned with synthetic perfumes, allergies and potentially toxic chemicals, I set out to find an alternative. With foundation studies in Aromatherapy, combined with a 10 year background in Make-Up Artistry, I gathered some natural ingredients and cooked up my own skin care products. Six years and two children later, my creation is now known as Dimpleskins Naturals . It is available to parents across the nation who, like myself, are concerned with using only the best on their baby’s skin.  Dimpleskins Naturals is still manufactured by hand, using only pure and organic ingredients. I oversee the quality of the ingredients, and ensure that each product is made to the highest standards.

Weeplant Corporation is a Californian new born company that was built on a strong idea: improve green consciousness through a positive symbol : a real tiny plant that you can take care of. Concerned about the Environmental issues, Weeplant has decided to contribute to the reforestation of our planet by participating into a worldwide program developed by the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP). Parts of the company’s profits are reversed to American Forest to reforest the US territory (for each 4 Pinky Trees sold, a tree can be planted). Besides the partnership with American Forests, it is the company's priority to make sure the whole production and logistics process respect sustainability rules. Today, the production of the plants, the way technicians who work in the greenhouses are hired, and the transportation and customs follow strict international regulations. Also, the encapsulation process is outsourced to Buckelew, an NGO in the Marin County in California which works with individuals with mental illness to help them live, work, learn and participate in their communities. Moreover, in agreement with the CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) Weeplant have committed to grow and trade in specimens of plants that don’t threaten their survival.
