Planet Botanicals Ethiopian Coffee Scrub

With a focus on sustainable and ethical sourcing of African ingredients, Planet Botanicals launched five standout products at Expo East, including lotions and creams using cocoa butter, coconut oil, and rare Ugandan shea butter. But what got everyone talking, and earned the company a New Products Showcase Award, was Planet Botanicals’ first fair-trade certified product, an Ethiopian coffee scrub that uses antioxidant-rich fair trade coffee and aromatic peppermint essential oil. And there’s more: The company recently got USDA Organic certification for six of its products, including Rooibos tea body wash.
