<p><b>OUR STORY</b></p> <p>Bella Jade Botanicals was founded by a woman named Andrea. Her husband is from Italy. They have a beautiful daughter named Jade. Thus the company’s name - Bella (beautiful) Jade Botanicals! </p> <p>And as for Botanicals? What we put ON our body is just as important as what we put IN our body. As the body’s largest organ, the skin absorbs everything we put on it. Botanical ingredients are derived from plants – think herbs, roots, flowers, fruits, leaves and seeds. Botanical ingredients from nature are powerful and benefit the skin tremendously and without the potential side effects of many synthetic ingredients. </p> <p>The large majority of our ingredients are pure plant extracts, and we use minimal synthetic ingredients as safe preservatives. Our products are entirely free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, mineral oil and are created without being tested on animals. </p> <p>Another facet of our philosophy is continually working to minimize our carbon footprint on Earth as much as possible. That is why you will not receive our products in elaborate luxury packaging, which would just end up in the landfills anyway. This also keeps costs down and we pass those savings on to you. </p> XO, Andrea, Founder
