A believer in natural foods and natural healing, it was inevitable that I would become acquainted with other natural products such as deodorants, toothpaste, soaps, etc. After encountering itchy dry skin accompanied by hormonal changes, I began purchasing the natural soaps health food stores offered. The olive oil soap was the most beneficial and the most expensive. As a result, I began experimenting with soap making. I started mixing some of the same fragrances into soap that I used in my lotions. Thus began the journey of BAMI Products. Named after myself-Bernadette, my daughter-Alicia, my oldest son-Marvin, and my youngest son-Iniko.
