Birmingham, Michigan, September 2010 — (This piece caught our eye, and since the people of Detroit need all the help they can get to return that historic city to its former glory, we thought we’d make a story of it and pass it on to you. Ed.) Ecology, a new specialty store carrying exclusive organic cosmetics, has opened in Birmingham, part of the Detroit metro area. The store, located at 239 S. Old Woodward, will also offer all-natural skincare lines for men, women, and children, plus scented candles and bath products. Ecology is the only all-natural and organic cosmetics and skincare store in Metro Detroit. Sisters-in-law and co-owners, Marla Shapiro and Carra Stoller extensively researched products from around the world to carefully select the lines they carry at Ecology. Several of the store’s product lines, such as NVEY Eco, a premier, organic artistry make-up line, 100% Pure, Dirt candles and Grapeseed Company, are exclusive to the store. “More and more women are taking control of their health and lifestyle choices, which means they are reading labels on their personal care products like never before,” said Shapiro. “At Ecology, we want our customers to try our unique merchandise as well as educate them about the benefits of choosing organic and chemical-free ingredients.” All of Ecology’s products are organic and natural without dangerous chemicals such as parabens and sulfates found in most cosmetic lines. A full-time makeup artist will be onsite to demonstrate and apply cosmetics. Ecology also plans to host private events and fundraisers and hopes to educate as well as beautify its clientele. “There are so many harmful toxins in traditional skin care products and they are directly absorbed into our blood streams, which can result in potential long-term effects,” said Stoller, co-owner of Ecology. “We want women to feel confident using cosmetics without sacrificing their safety, beauty or budget.” Ecology opened this month. Store Hours: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday; 10 a.m. – 8 p.m. on Thursday. For more information, call 248-792-6295 or visit www.ecologybeauty.com.
