Confident that you are buying good, socially conscious brands? Find out

the real story behind all that marketing money and store visibility.

 

A long but interesting article about names in the alternative health

products field.

 

My first introduction to natural, organic and eco-friendly products stems

back to the early '90s, when I stumbled upon Burt’s Bees lip balm at an

independently owned health food store in the heart of Westport, Kansas

City, Mo.

Before the eyesore invasion of ’98, when Starbucks frothed its way into

the neighborhood, leading to its ultimate demise, Westport was the kind

of 'hood I still yearn for. It was saturated with historically

preserved, hip and funky, mom-and-pop-type establishments, delivering

their goods people to people.

I was surprised more recently when I saw Burt's Bees products everywhere

-- in grocery stores, drug stores, corner bodegas and big-box stores like

Target and Wal-Mart. I thought to myself, fantastic; the marketplace is

working, and good for Burt. He has made his mark, and the demand for his

products is on the rise.
