Our Herbalist - Marita Orr

Our herbalist Marita is the creator of the lotion and deodorant product line for Sage Nature Bath & Body. The love and passion she has for her work is the reason why our products are truly unique. During the research and development stage, we searched long and hard for someone who had all of the tools it would take to be able to create something special. The more we searched, the more we realized just how rare of a person we were seeking. When we eventually contacted Marita, it was like finding an oasis in the Sahara Desert. She was exactly everything that we needed to make our products possible. Every day we get to work with her, we realize more and more just how special she is. Without Marita, our products would not exist. We believe it is her love and intention as the reason the products work so well.

Note: Sage Nature Bath & Body is not claiming that our products can cure any medical conditions. It is our intention to use a natural alternative method with the benefits of herbs to develop a product line where our clients can find relief without the use of synthetic compounds and medication. We believe in the use of natural remedies along with aromatherapy to help balance the mind and physical state, a botanical band aid so to speak.
