Meet Silvia Lopez

Silvia came to As Green As It Gets as part of a sponsorship from the Latin American Tourism Association. Silvia's Make-Your-Own-Lotion tour is one of the results, giving a small businesswomen a manufacturing and tourism-based business

Silvia supports her family by making face and hand creams from avocado oil, macadamia oil, and castor oil. She then gives tours in her home, teaching visitors to customize their own lotion. In the process, she supports three other As Green As It Gets small businesses who manufacture the oil, the many farmers who grow the raw materials, and the nearby women's coop that make her essential oil extracts.

Trying to be As Green As she can Get, even her packaging is green, made from jacaranda grown in nearby fields.

Silvia at home with her latest batch of hand and face creams.

As with all As Green As It Gets skin care products, Silvia's lotions contain nothing but ingredients you can pronounce, most of which were grown just a few miles from her home.
