Zosimos Botanicals LLC consciously spreads positive environmental and social benefits to the world. Our products are free of chemicals that pollute groundwater. Zosimos Botanicals LLC is committed to reducing our
business' impact on the environment. The ZB facility is powered by 100% Wind energy. We reduce our carbon footprint by using CleanSteps Windpower. In 2009, the Zosimos Botanicals LLC studio utilized 13,570 kilowatt hours of wind energy, saving those kWh from "dirty" sources. That is the equivalent of eliminating 11 metric tons of CO2 and taking 2 cars off the road!
We patronize suppliers that use sustainable harvesting practices, grow pesticide-free plants, and produce Certified Organic ingredients.
Zosimos Botanicals LLC gives back to the community through dissemination of information about natural alternatives to chemical-laden cosmetics and by donating products to others that share its principles.
In 2009, ZB is supporting the following wonderful causes and charities, which we invite you to visit:
- Please join us in support of the Walter Reed Auxiliary, which is a spouse group of physicians at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. This organization
serves the Walter Reed Army Medical Center Community by promoting
fellowship and the pursuit of common interests among those stationed or
employed at Walter Reed. It also supports worthwhile service and
community projects for the patients receiving medical care there.
On January 23rd, the Auxiliary is hosting a wine tasting event
specifically for the Physician, Nurses and medical corps personal and
their spouses at the Fraser Gallery in downtown Bethesda, MD. All
proceeds will go to benefit their programs that support wounded soldiers,
as well as families stationed at Walter Reed/Bethesda Naval Hospital.
- Canine Partners For Life is making the miracle of independence possible by training and placing service dogs with people in need. Recipients typically have physical disabilities affecting mobility and use of their hands, or are people with multiple medical conditions including seizure disorders. The dogs bring greater independence by opening doors, stabilizing people that walk unsteadily, paying cashiers, operating light switches/buttons, rolling people over in bed preventing sores, assisting with transfers out of the wheelchair, alerting their handlers to seizures and more.
- Zosimos Botanicals provided soy candles to be auctioned off at the Breast Cancer Fund's Heroes Tribute at the Jewish Community Center in San
Francisco on April 30, 2009.
- Locally, we donated cosmetics for Burning tree Elementary School's Second
Grade musical performance of An Aesop Adventure on March 4, 2009. The
school is located in Bethesda, MD. Our gift was acknowledged in the
concert program. A Mom from the school requested our involvement to
replace cosmetics purchased by another parent from the Dollar Store which
she objected to due to their synthetic ingredients.
- Zosimos is thrilled to have found Terry Grahl, through StartUp Nation's
2009 Mom's in Business Competition. Terry leads Enchanted Makeovers, an
organization that transforms shelters for women and children into places
of peace and possibilities. (Not just where basic needs are met, but
spiritual needs for hope and beauty also). We will be sending personal
care products for the shelter residents.
- We are honoring the American Association of State Troopers for their work with the Amber Alerts program.
- Days End Farm Horse Rescue - Zosimos Botanicals had donated to the Grapes of Hooves Silent Auction to
benefit Days End Farm Horse Rescue. Days End cares for abused and
neglected horses. The event is April 4th in Lisbon, MD. Click here for more details.
- Liberty's Promise Zosimos Botanicals sponsored an Intern from
Tanzania through Liberty's Promise Opportunities Plus program, which gives
young immigrants a chance to explore their talents by exposing them to
career possibilities.
- Pure Prevention A campaign to raise awareness about the environmental causes of breast cancer.
- Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary

substantially less energy to reuse than recycle, Zosimos Botanicals LLC
reuses packing materials whenever possible instead of buying new
materials. If possible, please reuse or recycle these packing materials.
