Massage Magazine: Good Body Product launches February, 2014—Brookline, VT


Brookline, VT—Good Body Products has introduced its first line of small-batch, handmade, 100-percent organic body care products. The new line consists of 17 products in five categories: body and face scrubs, whipped body butters, therapeutic salves, solid scents and aromatic mists.
The product formulations were created to serve as natural remedies for body aches and skin issues common to physically strenuous lifestyles and age-related impairment. Good Body Products alleviate conditions such as arthritis, rheumatism, premenstrual syndrome, menopause, headaches, severely dry or chapped skin, cuts and scrapes, eczema, psoriasis, acne and problem skin.
Good Body Products is founded and run by partners Trish and Chris Thomas. They began their quest for healthier living during their 16 years as residents of New York, New York, crafting a green smoothie recipe book and avidly investigating alternative medicines. The couple’s soon-to-be-born daughter, Myla Sol, inspired a move to the hills of Vermont, where they immediately began growing vegetables, herbs and flowers and further exploring the power of natural medicines. After years of research, formulating and testing, Good Body Products are finally available via the Good Body Products website, www.goodbodyproducts.com, and at co-ops and health and beauty stores.
“We are thrilled to have crafted 100-percent organic products that provide effective remedies for the skin along with strong natural healing elements beneficial to the entire body. I’ve personally struggled with sensitive skin my whole life. Applying the vast majority of skin care products would most often result in a hive breakout. I really wanted a product that I knew was 100-percent natural and toxin-free, with no strange or chemical ingredients. In the end, the best solution was to create what I wanted for myself. For the past years I’ve been formulating products for myself, for my family, and for others who suffered from similar sensitivities. I created products we could all count on to provide relief, and the overwhelmingly positive feedback has made all the hard work worthwhile,” says Trish Thomas, the wisdom behind all Good Body Product formulas.
Good Body Products can be found online, in store at the Brattleboro Food Co-op, Fly Hair in New Haven, Connecticut, Pilates Life Studios in Portland, Washington, and soon at additional retailers throughout the U.S. Good Body Products sources 100-percent organic, local first (Zack Woods Herb Farm and others), U.S.-made (whenever possible), and Fair Trade Certified (whenever possible) ingredients. Good Body Products are animal cruelty-free (in certification process with LeapingBunny.org), are silver members of The Green Business Network and are committed to operating a responsible, ethical business.
