About Our Products

If you have had a chance to read any of our product descriptions, you already know we use all natural ingredients. Why natural you may ask? Why is that so important? Simple, our bodies are natural. Our cells are designed to process natural ingredients. The more chemicals you use, the harder your body has to work to rid itself of them. Often, this leaves us with itchy,dry, cracked or blemishes on our skin. Give natural products a try and see the difference for yourself. 

We have carefully chosen all natural ingredients for all of our products. First, we purchase from reputable companies that deal in fair trade practices. Many of our products are shipped from other countries, and we want to make sure the people gathering these products are being adequately compensated. 

Second, We read the ingredient label.We read to make sure that fillers are not used and the products is 100% natural. This is very important for those essential oils. There are too many brands that use water and alcohols to stretch the oil.This can cause dry skin and allergy issues.

Third, we look for organic when available. Not all products are available that way but many are. To be classified as an organic product, regulations are in place to help monitor the growth and harvest of the product. When we find this option, we go for it!

Fourth, value. We look to save our dollars as well as yours. The best way to do this is to purchase in bulk. We have had so many happy customers, we have been able to purchase larger quantities to keep our prices very reasonable for handmade, natural products.
