Care

About Le Shea Naturals.     Our mission is to give our customers the best in personal care products and environmentally-friendly solutions.  Organic, natural and safe products are at the core of the Le Shea Naturals brand.  Founder and CEO, Deborrah "Dee" Gilbert, launched Le Shea Naturals, LLC  after friends and family wanted her natural soaps and home spa care products for their home and personal care needs. 

The former fashion model, radio and television talk show host understood the demands of harsh lights, desert climate, stripping detergents and the drying effects of wind and sun exposure.  "My experience in the fashion industry required the knowledge of  hair and skin care to  heal and reverse the dangerous acceleration of chemicals, make-up, aging and dehydration.  I benefitted from years of research and routines of  natural care using essential oils and organic products on my sensitive skin for decades. It was just natural to  share the intimate secrets with  my family and friends.  "Over the years they kept telling me I should bring my "green" product ideas to market.  I was convinced to bring the treasured recipes to the  unique product line when the friends of family and friends began asking for Le Shea Naturals by name!" 

Le Shea Naturals, LLC was formally launched in 2009.  Dee Gilbert, mother, mentor and business woman directly oversees the brand management, product formulations, quality assurance, marketing,  design and supply chain operations.  Product quality is our goal  and customer satisfaction the guiding  principal.  "We love happy customers and will continue to respond to opportunities to grow and expand into new markets  worldwide.  We'll grow steadily, guided by our business plan, the needs of our  customers and a rigorous commitment to social and environmental standards."

Le Shea Naturals enjoys a great relationship with the hospitality, personal care and soap making business community. "We're proud to contribute to the American business value.  Our 'Made in  America' philosophy stimulates home economic development while also leading a force that  represents wellness, creates  jobs, builds small and local businesses while sustaining healthy  communities of choice."

Why do we care?

Following the 2010 major earthquake in Haiti, Le Shea Naturals launched the Soaps for HOPE Initiative and humanitarian efforts to help reduce human suffering at home and abroad, through coordinated systems and smart corporate citizenship.  The wellness program provides information, education and learning opportunities, resources and connects vulnerable women, children and families to essential care and  shelter solutions.  Proceeds from  Le Shea Naturals retail sales benefit local community based programs and international relief efforts.

The Soaps for HOPE Foundation helps meet the unique needs of individuals and families caring for loved-ones living with illness and disease. HOPE programs aim to raise funds, raise awareness, connect information, education, counseling services and resources needed to eliminate diseases through the advancement of health related research and to bring about cures for children, women and families worldwide.

The foundations visionary states: "Millions of children and families are affected by life-threatening illnesses.  On their behalf, we keep the faith.  We dream and hope for cures. Children and families manage unimaginable challenges and pain, one day at a time: We care about them; we give support and hope for cures to relieve their suffering and to improve their quality of life.  We walk together to make a difference. We walk to give hope; hope for cures... for solutions; one step at a time."

Everyday. Natural. Care.  Le Shea Naturals is more than an expression for women who care about what touches their skin.  It's a personal message of inspiration and the many stories of how she cares for her loved-ones.  More than a unique brand, Le Shea Naturals  represents a world movement of discoveries, bringing treasures from rich cultural traditions that celebrate health, nutrition, wellness and quality of life.  From fashion runways to the pathway of wellness and personal care, Dee's on a mission to inspire girls, women and young entrepreneurs to share the beauty of everyday natural care.  If you catch her in an elevator, ask her for the elevator pitch; she'll  just smile and say, " I'm an associate of  Le Shea Naturals and a woman for all things well. We make soap sexy."
