Natural beauty comes from inside us and all around us. It comes from being who we are. It can be seen and felt in everything. It is with inspiration drawn from the beauty of our people's traditions & culture that I chose this product to make.
The red in this organic makeup comes from Chiih, a naturally occurring red Earth pigment. Chiih is a word that comes from the Navajo language. Our people use the red pigment in traditional ways. My grandmother used to wear it as a sunblock when she was herding sheep. It is also used by Pow Wow dances as a face paint and for protection from bad way people. This natural paint is best used as a blush or rouge.

About Us

Medicine of The People

Marana, Arizona

There are no translations available.

In 1995 my partner Leonard Marcus and I started a company called Dine Be Azee (Medicine of the People), using traditional knowledge of Plants that was given to me by my father, Sam Boone. My memories of my dad selling herbs on the Navajo Reservation and of his belief that “in order to heal himself he had to help his people” were the inspiration for our company Medicine and products.

For many years we have traveled to Powwows, Conferences and Native American events, selling herbs for medicinal and ceremonial use. We have crafted herbal salves and made creams, massage oils and tinctures from native plants we have gathered.
