The Organic Beauty Expert is self-proclaimed Andrea Kane. She has her own line of bath and body products called Marley’s Own. After learning about the organic and natural ingredients in toiletries, she decided to start her own blog. The site claims to be the only organic blog on the internet and includes a weekly podcast radio show. Andrea is a certified aromatherapist and is a member of the Handmade Beauty Network and The San Diego Chamber of Commerce. She continues to design her own products, run the blog, and offer workshops. This particular post focuses on the simple differences between natural and organic products. The blog has lots of information about products, breaking news, reviews, and links to other sites about every personal care item imaginable. The site is a little difficult to navigate but provides other sources for further information.
