Original Sprout to be Included in Gift Bags at HollyRod Foundation Design Care Event
BEVERLY HILLS, California (January 23, 2011) – Celebrities and philanthropists attending the HollyRod Foundation’s 13th annual Design Care event will find a $25 gift from Original Sprout in their gift bags. The event, an annual fundraiser for Holly Robinson Peete and Rodney Peete’s HollyRod Foundation, will take place at a private Beverly Hills estate on Saturday, July 23rd.
This year’s Design Care event has grown to over 500 guests, including many celebrities and newsmakers. It raises funds to support the foundation in its commitment to provide enhanced care to people with Parkinson’s disease, and expanded resources to children and families of children with autism. Past event performers at the intimate gala include Stevie Wonder, En Vogue, Babyface, and Robin Thicke.
“Original Sprout shares the HollyRod Foundation’s dedication to providing a better quality of life to those in need,” says Original Sprout founder, Inga Tritt. “Given the extensive research I’ve done on the potential long-term effects of some cosmetic ingredients, diseases like autism, Parkinson’s and others are always at the forefront of my mind. We’re delighted with the opportunity to support the foundation.”
Original Sprout is experiencing a surge in demand, and has been widely reviewed in beauty magazines and green beauty blogs. Sprout products also enjoy a following of celebrities and celebrity stylists and are being used on the sets of Men in Black III, The Community, CSI Las Vegas, and others. Original Sprout is currently distributed in salons, boutiques, and other retail outlets throughout the US & Canada, as well as the UK, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Monaco, and Luxembourg. A family-run company based in San Luis Obispo, California, Original Sprout expects to double or triple its distribution in 2011.
The HollyRod Foundation was founded in 1997 by Holly Robinson Peete and her husband, former NFL great, Rodney Peete. The foundation was inspired by Holly’s father’s struggle with Parkinson’s disease. It was later expanded to include the cause of autism when their eldest son was diagnosed with the disease. The foundation provides financial and emotional support to individuals and families facing these diseases, with the goal of giving them hope and the resources needed to obtain treatment.

Original Sprout on the Oscars Red Carpet
Wanna know how Josh Brolin and David Vartabedian, our Director of Sales and husband of Original Sprout’s amazing founder, looked so dashing walking the red carpet at the Oscars? Aside from their rugged good looks, charming smiles and perfectly tailored suits, they had hair by Original Sprout, styled by celebrity stylist Lauren Cohen.
Yes, you heard correctly. David walked the red carpet at the Oscars! He enjoyed playing celebrity alongside longtime friend, Josh Brolin. At the awards show, they were seated with the crew from True Grit including the amazing Coen brothers, Jeff Bridges (and his wife and family), and Hailee Steinfeld (and her parents). If that wasn’t exciting enough, David sat right next to Jennifer Hudson! He enjoyed his 20 seconds of fame when Natalie Portman stood to receive her Oscar and the cameraman caught he and Josh clapping in their seats behind her.
After the awards, the entourage moved on to the Governor’s Ball where David rubbed elbows with Eli Wallach, and exchanged pleasantries with Jeff Bridges, Steven Spielberg, Javier Bardem, and Penelope Cruz. He even had a chance to personally congratulate Melissa Leo, another longtime Original Sprout fan, who won best supporting actress for her role in The Fighter. Later, at the Vanity Fair party, he was introduced to Donald Trump, and took the opportunity to discuss how proud he is that Original Sprout is 100% made in the USA, a business perspective not lost on Mr. Trump.
David ended the night dancing alongside Mila Kunis, Scarlett Johansson, P. Diddy and Madonna at the Demi Moore/Madonna Party. And thanks to Original Sprout’s Natural Hair Balm, his hair still looked perfect after all that schmoozing!
Such a thrill to see Original Sprout on the red carpet! Thanks to all of you for your loyal support!
Original Sprout truly lives up to its motto of ‘Worry Free Luxury’
Hallelujah! My vegan hair care prayers have been answered!
With my ridiculously curly, and often super dry, frizzy, and out of control head of hair, finding a decent hair care product has been a lifelong quest. After I switched to a cruelty free diet, I decided the rest of my life needed to follow suit, but never in my wildest dreams did I think I would find a decent hair care product that would work on this unruly head of hair. Well, I didn’t find a decent one. I found an excellent one! Original Sprout is the answer to my hair care woes. And with their motto being “Worry Free Luxury,” they are just that. Not only are their products 100% vegan and cruelty free, they are also totally free of any harmful additives.
Worry Free Luxury means no natural or synthetic ingredients associated with estrogen enhancement, hormone disruption, cancer & autism such as: Lavender or Tea Tree Oils, Citrus Oils, Clove, Soy, Phthalates, Dioxanes from Sulfates, Parabens, Formaldehyde, Propylene Glycol, Dipropylene Glycol, Acetaldehydes, Styrene, Toluene, Glycol Ethers, Ethylene Oxide, Musks, Nonylphenol, Mineral or Petroleum Oils, Triclosan, Eurethane, 1-2 Propylene Oxide, Placenta or Synthetic Colors.
I was so excited I bought some of their products for my friends and family to try, and whether their hair was as curly as mine or straight as a stick, thick, thin, long or short, everyone came back with raving reviews. Some of my favorite products are the Tahitian hair oil (which smells as good as it works), the natural shampoo, the leave in conditioner, and the scrumptious baby cream is by far the most amazing body cream I have ever used!!! It’s so good that I had to use three exclamation marks in that last sentence to really do my passion for this particular product justice.

How Zinc Benefits your Skin
Zinc Oxide is the only sunscreen that protects against all three types of damaging sun radiation.
SkinCancer.org reminds us that SPF only indicates the UVB protection factor, and that we should choose a broad-spectrum or multi spectrum protection “contain ing an FDA-recognized long-wavelength UVA sun screen such as zinc oxide.”
Plus, zinc is responsible for accelerated renewal of skin cells, which is why zinc is used to treat acne, eczema, and other types of skin dermatitis; zinc also soothes and speeds healing of sunburn, minor scrapes, and poison oak.
Original Sprout’s new Face & Body Sun screen and Scrumptious Cream both contain zinc, so enjoy the benefits!
