NEWS FROM THE FUTURE, SPRING TIME of April 2037

An echo-perspective of the new face of the cosmetic industry

It is early morning, time i cherish to enter my lovely all glass office self-powered by the sun and wind.
The lake is gleaming in the morning light and birds are sky-skating into a choregraphy of their own.
In the background, the distant mountain profiles a soft line still misty from the remaining morning frog.
A wave of thankfulness and appreciation overcomes me. 
What a beautiful day, Thank You !

By now the communication wall is lightening up to bring only  the programmed news ; the coffee is ready and Louise-Anna, my robot servant, has the perfect cup waiting for me. 

It is about regional and international news of the cosmetic affairs w.w.

The masculine voice is soft and articulate, not a syllable escapes 
..... the demand for local products keep rising on the international market as is the demand  for finished global products.
The fascination of exotic products, reserved for special occasions for cosmeto-therapy maintains its high demand despite their high prices....

My mind drifts as i reflect how, through the composition of my products, i learned to drop all synthetics and chemicals derived from residues of the petroleum industry or other questionable forms of bio-engineering. 

The rhythm of the gentle voice captures my attention again.... 
as of now only wild-crafted or organic cultivation and simple minerals ingredients, are authorized to enter the global market. 
Independent, specialized agencies protect agricultural resources and natural necessities, to be managed,  intelligently and fairly ; those agencies are always  looking  for old herbalists who could help to optimize the therapeutic and cosmetic value of plants .....

I just recall a wild field of lavender ready to be picked by hands, the life, the scent, the colors are incredibly powerful.

.... The old herbalists have great knowledge of plants vitality and function, according to the season but they lack knowledge on how to preserve the creams and lotions  .....

I just smile thinking how easy that is.

The anchor guy keeps going ..... 100 investors got together and bought and old dilipidated manufacture of synthetics and chemicals who was out of business for the last 20 years. 

... with the collective investement, a co-op bank agreed to loan the funds necessary to further development.
Three foreign companies from Korea, Brazil and Africa joined the group and invested in the technical equipment especially in labs control levels, the other invested in the research, less personal risks for all parties....

.... The stores are all but dead by now. 
The Co-op system took over and everybody seems to enjoy their freedom.
Catalogues, budget publicities etc. are not any more necessary.
It's all based on products and productions through cooperatives.
Society of 2037 evolutes in the way of more economics in human resources and finances....

Yes indeed, my thoughts rushing through my head, the education for suppression of synthetics and chemicals in the cosmetic  arena was difficult.
The scientific chemical research in personal toileteries of the early 21st century had declined.
The multi-national companies with enormous budgets imposing hand-full of industrial products could never replace the creativity of thousands of small enterprises offering fresh, hand-made products.

..... The return to a natural agriculture, has brought a worldwide return of seasonal celebration...

As the speaker melts away, the voice of Deep Red [Dead can Dance] singing "anywhere out of this world" a 40 years old classic filled the room, each notes playing with the rays of the sun. 

Yes, another day in Paradise.
