HL&S: You have a strong commitment to natural ingredients, and have been involved in the natural products industry for a number of years. Was there a particular catalyst leading to this passion?

Myra: My mom is the one to take full credit. She had the vision to change our diets at a young age, and teach us about holistic living. She was a true visionary in the early 1970s.

HL&S: Did you experiment with ingredients in the kitchen when you were a child?

Myra: Not as a child, but as a young adult. I would get the blender out and use yogurt and fruits, combining these ingredients with honey to make fun, edible facial treatments.

HL&S: Did you have a strong connection with nature as a child?

Myra: Yes, I was raised mostly out in the country. My parents didn’t have farm animals, but friends of ours did, so my sister Susan and I would get our homework done, and then go outside and play with horses and many other farm animals. We also spent much time climbing apple, pear, and cherry trees, eating the fruit right from the trees until we couldn’t manage one more bite.

HL&S: When it comes to caring for the environment, what or who have been the major influences in your life?

Myra: Again, when I was a young child, my parents were always very much about preserving our environment, a commitment they shared with us kids. I also spent many years hiking , camping, and studying geology in college, all of which gave me a great appreciation for the incredible planet we live on.

HL&S: What is your favorite natural ingredient for skincare, and why?

Myra: Natural acids found in fruits and vegetables. I love using fruit and vegetable pulps, due to the super concentration of nutrients and gentle acids that naturally exfoliate sluggish skin. It’s like peeling an onion’s dry, wilted outer layer and revealing beautiful fresh skin without harming or over exfoliating.

HL&S: If you could change a single thing in the world today, what would it be, and why?

Myra: I would give each homeless child a loving home, and end child abuse. Children are precious gifts that enrich our lives – they are our future and only hope for peace in this world.
