Although Vashon Organics is not a Santa Monica-based business, it is accessible to local residents and taps into Santa Monicans’ growing demand for organic and natural products.
Vashon Organics (www.vashonorganics.com), an Internet venture launched on July 7, offers natural and organic lotions, balms, washes, soaps, moisturizers, shampoos and conditioners, and other items such as organic cotton and pet care items.
In celebration of their launch, Vashon Organics is offering 20 percent off every customer’s second order. The offer is good until Jan. 1, 2007. Spokesperson Steve Reed said the promotion is designed to reward return customers.
“Loyalty to a healthier lifestyle is really what we’re promoting,” Reed said. “Our site will offer more than just high-quality, healthy products. We want to provide people with the information to make informed decisions for their own health. We will offer articles about health and beauty, and a blog for customers to share experiences, solutions and anecdotes. Our skin is the largest organ on our bodies, and some estimate up to 60 percent of what we put on our skin finds its way into our systems. We’d better start paying more attention to what we’re feeding our skin.”
