THE founder of Naturally Wight Skincare is doing her bit to support the Earl Mountbatten Hospice.
Sharon Lake and her children benefited from the family support service at the hospice following the death of her husband, Richard, in December, 2006.
"To show my appreciation I wanted to give something back," she said.
"Therefore, when buying Naturally Wight Skincare products, marked with the butterfly emblem, on-line, a donation will be made to the hospice. This will help raise the £4,500 per day it costs to run this free service for local people with life-limiting conditions and their families."
Sharon, an aromatherapist, who started out selling products in 2006 at IW Natural Candle shop, Ryde, Godshill Organics and Yarmouth Pharmacy, has turned her hobby into a successful business and has recently launched a website at www.naturallywight.co.uk.
Naturally Wight has a large range of natural skincare products, all hand produced by Sharon using organic vegetable oils, fats and waxes and other naturally derived ingredients, at her home in East Cowes.
