Conveniently Green: Pittsburgh Business Cooks Up Lotions, Oils, Other Skin Treats

Tucked inside a small apartment in the city's Friendship section, there's an eco-friendly business brewing -- literally.

Megan Brame, who runs Disquieting Designs, has become a master at mixing all kinds of calming creations.

With her tiny Crock-Pot, she cooks up massage oils, body butter, bath salts and other treats for your skin.

"I'm doing solid lotion with lavender essential oil and lavender fragrance," Brame told Channel 4 Action News reporter Kelly Frey on Thursday. "Some people use it after yoga, relaxation and meditation -- things like that."

Brame said everything is natural, chemical-free and organic, so it's better for your body -- especially if you have allergies.

"It started because I knew people that had sensitivity to fragrances in cosmetics and lotions and things like that, so I wanted to see if I could find something to help them," she said.

Brame sells her products online at disquietingdesigns.com and at local craft shows.
