Ingredients

With the exception of a preservative (necessary to keep some products pure ... no one wants to open a jar only to find mold growing!) and the occasional use of a commercial thickener (usually Polysorbate 20, derived from coconut oil) when needed, only food grade, organic ingredients go into the products offered here. In addition to organic (and Free Trade whenever possible) herbs, high quality oils and butters are used as well as pure waxes to create the proper consistency … and we never use any GMO ingredients. While this tends to cause some of our products to be a bit on the pricey side, we feel that compromising quality for price isn’t acceptable when it comes to caring for your body. Our soaps are all “melt and pour” blends with a glycerin base and contain no sulfates or parabens. We add essential oils and skin safe colorant to the base soap to create our bars. When scent is desired in a product, we prefer to use pure essential oils in our herbal creations. Occasionally fragrance oils (either an essential oil blend or a high quality fragrance/perfume oil) will be used when needed for a particular scent combination but you can be assured that any fragrance oils used will only be used in our bath or lotion body products (we will never use them in facial products or our salves or rubs) and will be the highest quality available. All the ingredients used in each product have been listed on the individual product pages as well as the product labels. No surprises, no GMOs, and nothing you can’t pronounce! Each of our products is created using fresh ingredients and all will last for at least two years from the date they were packaged. And yes, we do include “use by” dates on those products that do have a shelf life.
