Wouldn’t it be nice if all businesses concentrated on product quality and making a point to raise awareness on important social and environmental issues?

Kim Mosher certainly thinks so. Working as an independent consultant for Arbonne International, Mosher is able to run an eco-friendly beauty supply store, “Beauty with Benefits,” from her home.

A busy mother with an active lifestyle, for Mosher family always comes first. But that doesn’t stop her from her seeking out and touting products that fall in line with her beliefs. To that end, Mosher has strived to make her beauty store an outlet to spread awareness on consumer products and the health complications they can potentially create.

While Mosher offers a whole host of products that contain absolutely no harmful or unnatural ingredients, her newest addition called FC5, is a particular source of pride.

FC5 – which stands for Fresh Cell 5 – incorporates nutrients from the Kiwi, strawberries, mangos, pumpkins and carrots, which are extracted and remain encapsulated, fresh and untouched until they are applied to the skin.

To date Arbonne is the only company in North America licensed to use this groundbreaking technology.

This independent consultant has another green goal, this one involving helping the community: Mosher strives to share her experiences as an Arbonne representative with other women looking for flexible income opportunities.

“I learned that in the 1940s, direct selling is what helped women to have a career outside of the home, to gain social contacts and improve their quality of life,” explains Mosher.

Her sales approach is “non-obtrusive and flexible,” allowing clients to order off her website, in person, grab a catalog and call her, or even meet over coffee. She also offers a variety of rotating specials and a confident 45-day return policy.

Here some testimonials from customers and one-time buyers alike:

“I think she is the perfect sales person,” said one customer. “Not pushy and very knowledgeable about the products. She has given us some very nice samples and followed up on them.”

“She is definitely comfortable to ask questions,” said another. “I quickly browse her email offers knowing that if I decide to purchase something, I could just ask her questions. Her responses are quick and informative.”

Her charity work is also prolific, and involves community fundraisers with Mast Way Elementary and Berwick Academy. Occasionally she sells gift certificates and donates the money to charities like New Hampshire Breast Cancer Coalition or Oyster River Womenade, a local organization that helps families fallen on misfortune with financial help.

Mosher has also participated in a few other fundraisers, including Exeter Peace Day and the Newmarket Green Fair, whose mission includes providing environmental awareness in the Newmarket community.

Not many exert the kind of effort Kim Mosher has to protect the environment, or bolster the community.

Give her a call or shoot over an email and let her tell you why eco-friendly skin care is important and how Arbonne saves you money.
