The Bubble and Bee Story
Stephanie Greenwood
began working in a Biology
lab at 14, and started
taking advanced Chemistry
classes at the University of
Utah at 16. But it wasn’t
until she was 26 that she
learned that the thousands
of chemicals around her in
personal care products like
parabens, phlalates, and
artificial fragrance could
be causing some of her
health problems, like
hormonal imbalances and
asthma. She diligently
sought safer alternatives,
but none of them lived up
to her standards of purity. She found out that many products had hidden ingredients.
So, she decided to make
her own products using
simple, organic ingredients.
It was slow-going at first.
She drew upon her own
chemistry background,
found recipes in books and
on the internet. A lot of
the formulas out there
didn't work very well, some
with terrible results. (She
still remembers the
conditioner that didn't
rinse out for a
week!) By reading labels
on her favorite organic
products, taking a little bit
here and there from
recipes that did work, she got a good start. She enlisted the
help of a chemist friend in
California to help her refine her
formulas, and soon she had a vast
repertoire of her own products.
Her friends and family caught wind
of her experimenting and asked her
to share her discoveries. Soon she
was making soaps, shampoos, lip
balms and deodorants for the entire
family. They absolutely loved her
products, and she realized that this
could be a bigger endeavor than she
had ever thought.
A year and a half later she enlisted
the help of her long-time friend and
business partner, Steve Thomas.
Steve took some convincing--he had
never used organic anything before!
She persisted and it paid off. With
much deliberation and creative
planning, Bubble & Bee Organic was
born. Bringing his business
marketing and product design
prowess to the table, Steve was able to
make dynamic packaging for
Stephanie's products. “I really
wanted these products to be fun. I
was hooked the first time I made my
own deodorant. I knew exactly what
was in it. How cool.” They soon
grew the business from a simple table
at a farmer's market to a company
that's created much "buzz" and is
poised to gain the attention of the
media and sell organic goodies to
people all around the country. They launched bubbleandbee.com where you can now learn about organic products and buy the finest quality organic personal care products. But
Stephanie and Steve’s mission is more
than just selling their products. Their
goal is to inform others about
the importance of
staying away from
the dangerous
chemicals in our
world of fancy
products with
entrancing colors
and fragrances.
In addition to
making and selling
products, they’re busy
working on an extensive
website with a database of
cosmetic chemicals, articles, a blog
about recent health and beauty news,
and informative videos. They also
want to help people save money by
teaching them to make their own
natural bath and body products.
They’re creating learning programs,
recipes, and tips for natural living
that everyone can use. They
believe that organic products
shouldn’t be just for those
who can afford them, but
for everyone who wants
to live in a safer, more
natural world. That’s
why at Bubble and Bee
Organic, we say "We Make Organic Fun!”
