Mazunte Cosmetics
If you are planning to go on your next vacation to the beach, maybe you could consider Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca, Mexico, where warm and friendly people will welcome you with open arms. Mexican Pacific beaches are an attraction of choice for Mexicans and foreigners for their beautiful sunsets that will take your breath away.
Near Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, you’ll find the community of Mazunte, now a protected area which has become an ecotourism center. In this town you will also find the organic cosmetics factory “Mazunte Cosmetics”.
A few decades ago the main activity of the population of Mazunte was the hunting of turtles. Historians tell that the beaches were painted red because of the blood trail that hunters left in the sand. The Mexican government decided to transform Mazunte into a sanctuary and protect turtles from overhunting. However, families were left without their main source of income.
Then the town then became an ecotourism center; the Turtle Museum and Mazunte Cosmetics were created. Among other things the company manufactures soaps, cosmetics and other natural and handmade products: shampoo, conditioner, moisturizers, bath gel, anti cellulite cream, reductive gel, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, hair styling gel, deodorant, among others.
Today Mazunte Cosmetics has modernized and you can buy through their website. http://www.cosmeticosmazunte.com
