Get Real with Blue Q's Newest Products
by Kara DiCamillo, Newport, Rhode Island on 08.15.06
We’ve tried a ton of natural soap products, many that we haven’t liked, so we admit we’re a little skeptical when it comes to new ones. When we opened up the box of Blue Q’s “Get Real Mint” soap that boldly stated “no fake crap” we were immediately intrigued. As we know, good (recycled) packaging can sell a product. Blue Q is the maker of Dirty Girl, Boss Lady and Miso Pretty, the much-loved lines of beauty products that, as we understand it, enjoy something of a cult following. The company was founded by brothers Seth and Mitch Nash 20 years ago in Boston and is now based in a renovated player piano factory in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in the Berkshire Mountains. Get Real is Blue Q’s newest line of soaps and lip balms that debuted this past March and include nothing but natural ingredients. The nubby soap bars (lemon, mint or lavendar) are perfect for exfoliating skin and scrubbing your hands clean from the garden. The non-petroleum based lip balm (mint, peaches or lemon) glides on smooth and feels great after a day in the sun. We recommend you Get Real. ::Blue Q
Looks like a nice product but they have a horrible Flash based website. It's simply too much work to find anything. It's a shame to see that what looks like an innovative company has made a mistake like this.
