Want to know how we keep our faces fresh, smiles healthy, bodies clean, heels smooth and hair lustrous with completely local natural means? We go to BadSeed or the farmers markets in Brookside and Waldo in search of John and Sandy Francis, the organic masterminds behind Nutressant, a vegan-based body-care line produced in Mission. "We're constantly re-evaluating our formulas and coming out with new products," John says. A former engineer, John blends local ingredients of comfrey, beeswax and herbs into creams, soaps, scrubs, shampoos, balms, body butters, bath salts, and additional products that are safe for the planet, the drain and you. "It's like food for your skin," Sandy says. She's serious. A scrub bar made with Oddly Correct coffee and paired with a lemongrass body butter left our epidermis feeling refreshed and natural. That's KC clean, y'all.
