The Problem
Most affordable personal care products contain harmful chemicals that are not only toxic to the body but also the environment and its organisms. Moreover, impoverished communities and even the average American lack the knowledge/resources to live a healthy, sustainable, eco-friendly life with healthy products.
The Solution
Providing personal hygiene care products at an affordable price, using raw, all-natural, wild-crafted, organic, and/or fair trade ingredients. Products will be packaged in eco-friendly packaging (i.e. biodegradable, reusable, etc.) and distributed to all of Lancaster, especially with an emphasis of product donations to homeless shelters.
What makes us the right fit?
Since college, we’ve embarked on a healthy hair journey, and that hair journey transpired to other areas of our lives. From the products we use to the food we eat, our journey has become our lifestyle, and now it has evolved to BirdOrganics. It’s just what we do, and it works, so we want to share the wealth.
