Talking with Julio Blanco co-founder of Sun Turtle Naturals earlier today, he mentioned to me that in honor of Earth Day, his company was planting trees in Brazil through a Nature Conservancy program.  How cool is that?  I got excited because Sun Turtle Naturals is a great example of a small company that has integrated their giving into the fiber of their company from the beginning and in ways which directly support their business values.

Sun Turtle Naturals is a Colorado-based family business founded by Julio and Debbie Blanco. Their goal in creating Sun Turtle is to inspire each of us to take a few minutes each day to slow down and pamper our bodies and spirit with a wonderful little luxury.

I was first exposed to Sun Turtle’s wonderful line of natural artisan body care just before the holidays last year.  Their handcrafted soaps smelled so great that I bought enough to give as gifts to several business colleagues and my women’s book group.  My gifts were definitely a hit and didn’t break the bank.  Each of their soaps smell fabulous – the lavender is my personal favorite.  Check Sun Turtle products out – you can get them online!

Great job, Sun Turtle Naturals, for supporting Earth Day and demonstrating your company values!
