They say good things come in small packages. Nothing fits the bill more perfectly than our real natural handcrafted soap. It fits in the palm of your hand, yet has the power to whisk you away through familiar memories and exotic places every day with its true aromas. It does all this while enveloping you in a blanket of rich lather that leaves your skin feeling clean, soft, and rejuvenated ? all without leaving the comfort of your bathroom. We're not sure who they are, but we think they sure have the right idea!
Theraganics was founded by sisters Stephanie & Jennifer Roudabush of Tulsa, Oklahoma. They each had their own set of problems that were brought to the table, leading to their mission that continues to fuel their passion in what they do. Theraganics products are handcrafted by them from scratch using many organic luxury base oils and are superior performing. The addition of clays, herbs, teas, and real fruits/veggies makes each product truly unique and purposeful.
Stephanie suffered from facial and body acne for most of her pre-teen through adult life. It affected her self esteem and she just about had given up with the idea of getting rid of her troubled skin after using everything in the main stream retail market. It wasn't until she decided to make her own soap did she realize she had stumbled upon something wonderful that helped her skin like nothing else had before. Her mission and focus became to help others and spread the word about using natural soap and minimizing the use of unnecessary ingredients. After perfecting her recipes over the course of several years, she took her products to market and has received nothing but rave reviews from loyal repeat customers.
Jennifer gave birth to a wonderful baby boy named Luke in April of 2005. Luke developed normally until about 18 months when he stopped talking and started showing signs that something was wrong. He was later diagnosed with autism, which explained his many sensory problems. He was sensitive to sounds and smells, and had allergic reactions to many common bath products. Jennifer started using some of Stephanie's soap on her son. Surprisingly, Luke enjoyed the scents and his skin did not have any bad reactions. Her mission then became to spread the word about the benefits of avoiding unnecessary chemicals in our everyday lives and to tell Luke's story in an effort to help families affected by autism.

What's in a Name...?
Tilth Beauty? derives its name from the life-giving properties of the earth itself. ?Tilth' refers to the physical condition and health of soil, like its texture and its ability to hold moisture and circulate oxygen. Soil with good ?tilth' is well-functioning with an adequate reservoir of water, nutrients, infiltration, and water flow. All of these conditions are essential for plant growth.

Likewise, our skin needs an adequate level of moisture and nutrients to be healthy, when absent the skin appears dull, lifeless, and older. Tilth Beauty? products are brimming with botanical ingredients that support good tilth, leading to beautiful, vibrant, radiant, and healthy skin.

Babies were the mothers of invention for Mary Vail.

Vail, from her Whitefish home, is at the helm of her own company manufacturing products for children. She has good business sense that she wanted to put to use, but didn't want to work away from her four children. The two paths merged after the birth of her twin girls, now 14. Vail found she much preferred that the babies she handed over when family and friends visited be sweet-smelling.

Thus was born Winsome Fragrance Co., producing roll-on cologne dubbed children's fragrance with a mother's touch. I'm still at that stage where my family comes first, so I allowed my company to grow slow and steady, Vail said of the start-up 13 years ago. That was to my advantage.

She set up shop when the family still lived in California, and continued when they moved to Montana four years ago. With all her children in their teens now and her husband, John, retired, she gradually is getting the whole family in on the fragrance act.

Today, because of conscious choices and course corrections, Vail is making a life ? not just a living. Research ? intensive and non-stop ? was indispensable for Vail.

When she got the idea for her children's fragrances, in the pre-Internet-boom days, she found herself continually in the library. She talked with small-business organizations, especially the Service Core of Retired Executives. She pored over issues of Entrepreneur Magazine. She's now reading the book, Grow Your Business.

She bought baby powders to get the scent right. She lined up chemists to make them. She found a bottle maker, a contract filler, a label maker, a box maker for the bottles and a graphic designer to make that packaging attractive. The business-to-business Yellow Pages were her bible, she said.

And she tracked down financing sources ? not an easy task. Her great-grandparents had run their own bakery business, and her own business administration degree had taught her about writing business plans. But it wasn't enough.

When I started I couldn't get a small-business loan so I had to take a second mortgage, Vail said. Bankers had told her they were not giving those loans so, as an option, the Small Business Administration suggested a second mortgage ? but only if she were willing to take the huge risk. It paid off with Winsome Fragrance Co. ? which has grown now to a line of four scents, two for boys and two for girls.

Whether large corporations or small entrepreneurial ventures, businesses struggle without focused marketing. Vail's product development and marketing were methodical. She tested her first products within her own parent-child play groups, a local community college's parenting class play group and the Mom's Club national organization. Once she was solid with the scents, Vail put her first products on the market in 1994.

Then in 1997 I was able to do trunk shows at Nordstrom's, every weekend between Thanksgiving and Christmas, she said. That was a huge stepping stone for me.

With customers requesting the products throughout the week, she finally landed the full-on Nordstrom's account and has been there ever since. Today, she's expanded to more than 750 department and specialty stores nationwide.
She's selling 25,000 bottles a year ? a number she hopes to double in the next five years. She plans to promote that expansion with press releases and store contacts with follow-up calls, but doesn't plan on paid advertising because of her broad national reach and the expense involved.

It takes motivation and a proactive attitude, Vail said, to make a success of a business.

You have to believe in your product. You have to be willing to accept a lot of ?no's' and still believe in your product, she said. You have to be able to take the financial risk. You have to be willing to stick with it ? it's a big commitment.
