It's not breakfast that's on this woman's mind.

Ramell Cooper's potions aren't restricted to dairy and grains, either.

The ingredients that go into Cooper's potions and lotions are natural and beneficial, unlike many over-the-counter cosmetics which contain mineral oils or petroleum.

"Petroleum acts as plastic, which keeps your skin from expelling all the toxins that would come out," Cooper said.

Cooper owns Lucky Duck Cosmetics, a company that started as a small business, catering to a few neighbors' needs, and has grown to deliver products derived from ingredients in her kitchen to buyers all over the world.

Carrie House has been using cosmetics with all-natural ingredients for about a year.

"A lot of over-the-counter products were drying my skin," House said. "With this, it doesn't do that. It actually moisterizes my skin."
