  1. “Black women are over-exposed and under-protected from toxic chemicals,” says Janette Robinson Flint…It breaks my heart. If you can not readily recognize the ingredients listed on the label, please put it back on the shelf. Anything we put on our skin and in our hair must be chemical free. Please check out http://www.earthsenrichments.com. We are a Baltimore-based, black owned USDA certified organic skin and hair care company. There are no parabens, sulfates,pthalates, synthetic fragrances or petroleum in our products. IT IS MANDATORY THAT WE BE MORE VIGILANT WITH THE PRODUCTS WE PUT ON OUR SKIN AND OUR HAIR. Earth’s Enrichments would love your business- but if not us, please choose chemical free products.
