Charitable Giving
As it is with old world tradition, ancestral philosophy and preserving our future, we pass the knowledge and benefit from one generation to the next.
We do this through our clients passing healthy skin care habits from parent to child, by protecting the planet in our manufacturing process and through our charity work, a cornerstone of the company since its inception.
1% of general sales & 2% of Ocean Blue sales are donated to charity.
Being raised by parents with the values of “leave the world a better place than you found it”, we are dedicated to making each day brighter, each customer happier and leaving a legacy of positivity in our wake.
