Co-workers and I went through every "natural brand that makes you feel good about yourself" that we could think of, and all of them were owned by either Coke or Pepsi or Heinz or someone corporate and huge, EXCEPT:<br /><br />Weleda.

I like it.lila u.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05974761129296354696noreply@blogger.com
