BC Living features Crystal Hills Organics in Local Companies That Give Back (aka Guilt-free Shopping)
“An increasing number of businesses are committed to giving back as an integral part of their business. Corporate giving is nothing new, but an increasing number of businesses, even small mom-and-pop type shops, are committed to making giving back an integral part of their business. They are donating either a percentage of every purchase or a percentage of profits to local charities.
Here are a few B.C.-based businesses that are making giving back a part of the bottom line…
Crystal Hills Organics is an Okanagan-based beauty company that sells crystal-infused body products like body creams and oils. Owner Andrea Barone donates eight per cent of profits to three charities. She says that while Crystal Hills Organics only sources fair trade and zero conflict crystals, many people don’t realize that children are quite often used in for mining crystals and semiprecious stones. Free the Children supports fair trade and is against child labour.” ~ BC Living
