Shop Local And Green At This Mazunte Cosmetics Boutique
Nestled in the quaint community known as Mazunte, this natural cosmetics shop offers a wide range of eco-friendly products. Established in the mid 90’s the boutique came to fruition after sea turtle hunting was banned in 1990, a ban that left nearly everyone in the area unemployed.
Luckily, in 1993 founder of The Body Shop Anita Roddick paid a visit to this small beachtown. Quickly falling in love with both the town and the people, the idea of a cosmetics shop was formed. 15 families from the community subsequently created the Cosméticos Naturales de Mazunte, S. de S.S.
A few years later, with the help of David Hitchen- a trained technician from The Body Shop – locals learned how to use the surrounding resources to their advantage. Learning how to mix, make, and mold organic ingredients into a variety of beauty products. It was this training that turned the Natural Cosmetics shop into the success it is today. The boutique sees each product from start to finish and truly defines the idea of sustainable tourism!
