    Misty Gregg 
The Sage Soapbox
www.sagesoapbox.com

Misty started “The Sage Soapbox” quite by accident. In late 2003, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and after having a craniotomy, she began to think about the shampoo she used. Was it safe? Was it going on her skin then into her bloodstream? She began examining other products her family used and she wanted to know if they were PROVEN to be safe. Well, what she found out was that many personal care products had questionable ingredients in them and numerous products had never been tested for toxicity! This rang true for the household cleaning products as well. She started telling her friends and family about her findings and she shared information that she found about safer alternatives. She felt like she was always on her soapbox about these issues, hence the name of her company, “The Sage Soapbox.”

Misty aligned herself with a company she felt matched her passion for safety and effectiveness-Shaklee. With over 50 years of making people healthy, Shaklee has a line of safe products that can enhance your overall health and well-being.

Misty’s mission is to spread awareness about potentially harmful products and offer solutions for making informed decisions and healthier choices. She works with individuals, families, schools, businesses and other organizations by helping them with safe, healthy changes that also lessen their footprint on the earth.
