A Passion for Purity: Vegan Skin Care at just the goods (A BESTeam Feature)
“I started making natural skin care items for myself and my immediate circle of friends at the end of 2007,” says Milena, owner/operator of justthegoods. “The feedback I received was very positive and I was encouraged to make my products more widely available.”
justthegoods is a Winnipeg-based producer of handmade, vegan skin care products at affordable prices. The company is a fully compliant member of the Compact for Safe Cosmetics. Just the Goods products are made without petrochemicals, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and artificial fragrances, dyes, and flavors.
