GODDESS GARDEN ANNOUNCES THE INTRODUCTION OF

70 PERCENT ORGANIC LAVENDER MINT SUNSCREEN

AND 70 PERCENT ORGANIC SHEA BUTTER SUNSCREEN

(Boulder, CO) –June 1, 2008. Goddess Garden announces the introduction of 70 percent organic Lavender Mint and Shea Butter sunscreen. Lavender Mint sunscreen is made with pure French lavender and peppermint essential oils while the Shea Butter sunscreen is unscented.

Goddess Garden sunscreens are made with 70% certified organic ingredients including organic jojoba oil and apricot kernel oil. Fair trade shea butter is integral ingredient in both products and prized for its moisturizing and emollient properties. Shea nuts harvested by members of the Agbanga Karite Women’s Cooperative in Togo, Africa are collected ,harvested and processed into shea nut butter with the help of the Fair Trade Federation and the Africa Fair Trade Council to assist the women’s co-op in selling their shea butter while earning a living wage.

Lavender Mint and Shea Butter sunscreens are mineral-based sun blocks utilizing micronized zinc oxide which is known for its ability to immediately and effectively block harmful ultraviolet radiation. Goddess Garden adds certified organic aloe vera – a succulent plant known for its healing properties, most notably its cooling effect on the skin – to the majority of their products. Sunscreen use reduces potential sun damage yielding anti-aging benefits.

“I was surrounded by the wilderness growing up,” says Nova Covington-Halter, owner of Goddess Garden, “and I’ve always been inspired by natural products. Whether utilizing wind-power or committing to eco-friendly packaging, I’m dedicated to reducing the carbon footprint my company makes on the Earth while creating superb facial and skin care products.” According to The Natural Foods Merchandiser Market Overview report, U.S. natural products sales grew 9.8 percent in 2007 across all retail and non-retail channels to exceed $62 billion in total sales. Natural and organic personal care product sales grew 12.7 percent to more than $3 billion.

Goddess Garden’s organic, and all natural skin and facial care products are available at spas, retail boutiques, and through estheticians nationwide. Best-selling products include Pomegranate Facial Cream made with 70 percent organic ingredients, French Green Clay Facial Cleanser, Immortelle Facial Serum and organic Sunscreens.
