VIM's Gaga for Tom's of Maine

Thanks to a segment on the news not too long ago — and the lovely Sheryl Crow — our eyes were recently opened up to an amazing company by the name of Tom's of Maine. (Seriously, what is it about companies with "Tom" in the name?)

Since the start of Tom's in 1970, co-founders Tom and Kate Chappell struggled to gain initial support for what was then a "crazy" idea — developing and producing natural, sustainable products for household consumers. The two pushed on though and have continued to grow their company and gain immense support along the way through their "good business" pillars that include remaining environmentally conscious in all production, partnership and office endeavors. Below are just some of their great products.

Crystal Confidence deodorant, $4



Wicked Fresh toothpaste, $5



Body Wash (soap), $7



Tom's products can be purchase online or at local Rite Aid, CVS Pharmacy, Walgreen's, Meijer and Kroger locations. Tom's also carries a variety of mouthwash and dental floss products.
