We are a company of integrity.  Our mission is to use the best truly natural and organic ingredients to help you and to help our planet. The organic and natural plant ingredients we use to support our hive products have been extracted without chemicals and as part of the sustainable agriculture movement, we strive to buy and use domestic ingredients that are not decimating local ecosystems and are readily renewable.  Our bee hive management practices are certified organic by Certified Naturally Grown.  Our honey and hive products are as pure as they can possibly be given the foraging nature of our honeybees who may travel up to four miles from our farm.  


We don't like any of the definitions of natural and organic ingredients out there so we've developed our own strict, ethical standard:

 

Plant or mineral based ingredients that come from readily renewable resources.

 

No chemicals, no petroleum derivatives, no synthetic isolates, no replications of plant compounds, no cosmeceuticals, no bioceuticals, no added alpha or beta hydroxy acids, hyaluronic acids, vitamin esters, wheat, gluten or corn ingredients. 

Obtained through methods that do not require the use of harsh, un-natural chemicals or excessive heat.

No handling practices that will adversely effect the quality of the raw end product.

Have no suspected potential human health risks.

Products labeled organic must be certified organic by a reputable agency.

 When there is no viable natural alternative available, the substance must have been derived from naturally occurring raw materials and possess no known health risks.

No sourcing from companies that do animal testing. 

In addition, we believe products should be holistic, beneficial therapies with solid, scientific evidence to back up any claims. The research should be readily available to the consumer for review. 

Every ingredient should be listed on the label and in company promotional material, including websites. 

 

 

 We are committed to supporting women owned businesses in North America and Developing Countries....      

   We welcome Naasakle Limited into our "family" of supply vendors!

 

Naasakle is located in Damongo in the Northern Region of Ghana and works with over 700 women to provide only the most pure Shea butter and Shea butter products, while assuring fair wages and benefits for all workers. We have long wanted to support the growth of companies in developing countries. It has been two years since we first communicated with Eugenia Akuete, the company's Founder and CEO.

We now order Naasakle Shea butter and shea ingredients to include in our products. Shea has exceptional moisturizing properties for both skin and hair. West Africans have used it for centuries to treat various skin conditions.

Meadowlake Farm is honored to feature Eugenia's Company and the work she does with the Ghana women. Eugenia transforms their lives and that of their families. It is a privilege to tell our customers that in purchasing our products, they are supporting something much bigger and contributing to the lives and well-being of the Ghana women she employs.
