Why Natural and Organic?
 My mother worked as a bookkeeper in a paper mill. The offices there seemed always to be covered in a thin layer of dust from the cardboard and paper formulation. My mother often wore a mask over her nose and mouth at work to keep from breathing the dust. I recall reading once toward the end of her career that people who worked in such places had a higher risk of developing multiple myloma (bone cancer) than the general population, due to the chemicals used in the manufacturing process. Shortly after she retired, my mother was diagnosed with terminal multiple myloma.
Then there's the studies which show beauty salon workers like hair stylists and nail technicians have a five times greater risk of getting multiple myloma than the general public.
Then there are the three close family friends -- three sisters in their 40's -- all were diagnosed with breast cancer within a year of each other. Their doctors advised them that common chemical fertilizers the women had regularly been exposed to growing up on a farm, probably played a central role in their getting the disease.
Then there was Jackie Kennedy Onassis, a client for whom I did hair and frequently applied hair dye. Ms. Kennedy died too young from Non-Hodgkin's lymphomic cancer, and her doctors have said publicly that they believe her hair dye probably caused her cancer.
These experiences and others were epiphanies for me, and created personal awareness of the increasingly scary reality that many common products -- including and especially health and beauty products which we all apply to our hair, skin, teeth and bodies -- can have devastating consequences for our long-term health.
Worse, I discovered that the U.S. federal government does not regulate beauty products, and that many of the products on the shelf at your local department store, beauty salon or supermarket contain irritating or harmful ingredients, even known carcinogens.
Lamas Beauty -- Taking a Different Approach
It is with this hard-learned perspective and a drive to find out all I could about health, beauty, and ingredients that I founded Lamas Beauty. As much as I want to keep up on the latest beauty and fashion trends, I am even more motivated to stay abreast of the latest scientific issues surrounding beauty ingredients and safety. Lamas Beauty strives to stay ahead of the curve, using the most innovative technologies the industry has to offer. Our aim is to create high-preformance products to deliver stunning results that last -- and that support a healthy life and lifestyle.
 Since the inception of Lamas Beauty, we have been vegan -- we have never used animal bi-products or animal testing. Our hair care line was one of the first ever to be paraben-free and sodium lauryl sulphate-free. All of our skin care, hair care and body care products are paraben-free.
I place a very high priority on using nature as my ingredients, which is why you will see ingredients like rice, soy, Chinese herbs, pumpkin, wheatgrass, avocado and many more in our products, as well as state-of-the-art anti-aging beauty technology. I'm very proud that my hair care line has recently been improved and is now Certified Organic. Lamas Beauty offers high-performance, healthy beauty products that deliver results -- a unique blend of nature and science, free of harmful chemicals.
The abiding philosophy of Lamas Beauty is that we are passionate about beauty, we are passionate about health, and we are passionate about you!
