 About the guest:

 

Laura Jones is the co-founder of Arborstead, a company that creates all-natural deodorants and other body and home care products for health-conscious people. After getting frustrated with the natural deodorant options on the market, she and her husband Tim created a natural stick deodorant that lasts all day on a single application, contains only the purest natural ingredients, and comes in a variety of scrumptious scents to suit all tastes. After receiving encouraging feedback from their Etsy customers, they added natural lip balms, lip glosses, bath salts, remineralizing toot​hpaste, and wood polish to their brand, and are continuously researching and introducing new natural products that work.
