Last year, winner John Halas, developed a reef buoy mooring system and has installed it in nearly 40 countries. However our heart was stolen by 12-year old, Casey Sokolovic, who baked cookies and sold organic coffee to raise money for a sea turtle rescue!
Ava Anderson
Recently TV host, Dr. Oz, focused on the toxins in just one cosmetic product: Lipstick. The list of horrible ingredients was outrageous and of course anyone who applies this lipstick is absorbing that directly through the lips and into their body. This led me to rethink of what I was exposing my skin to when using moisturizer, toners and facial wash. It was mind blowing!
Then I heard about Ava Anderson. Ava Anderson, a 16-years old, native of Rhode Island, created the first ever complete line of skincare products that are 100% non-toxic! The existing line currently includes: cleanser, toner, exfoliator, moisturizer, lip scrub and eye makeup remover pads.
