After a family scare with Alzheimer’s, Jewels Burdick started researching possible links between the disease and every 
day cosmetics. She learned that 66 percent of what goes onto your body, goes into your body, yet there’s no government agency to oversee production of cosmetics. After searching in vain for natural products that actually worked, she turned her own kitchen into a laboratory and started Simple Body Products.
Topics Discussed:
- How a family scare with Alzheimer’s led to Jewels starting Simple Body Products
- The science in cosmetics how they are absorbed into the body
- The products used in off-the-shelf deodorants why they can be harmful
- Transitioning from a small office into a full retail space
- Other products that Jewels is working on
- The shelf life of Jewels’ products
- The challenges of running three small businesses
- Leveraging social media to get started with a business
