Yes, we use only the best butters, tallow, oils and essential oils that your skin loves. We research and use butters and oils that have positive effects on our skin.

Yes. But if you if you have sensitive skin, make sure to do a patch test just to be sure.

As an artist of handmade products, I can attest that we are not machines. We can't always do things exactly the same time, every time. This includes everything from the ingredient amounts to how full we fill the molds. You will know its handmade when every bar you see has its own personality, it's own look.

Whereas, commercial products are made by machines and are produced exactly the same way every time. There is definitely consistency, but no artistry in commercial products.

As someone who thanks God for the wonderful products that come from animals, I tend to create lotion bars that use animal fats. However, I also realize people don't think the same way as I do or who have allergic reactions to animal fats. I try to offer something for everyone. We do offer a vegan lotion bar. Although our sunscreen and insect repellent bars have beeswax, they do not have animal fats. You can check the ingredient list of any bar for things that might not work for you.

In addition, as a small handcrafter, none of my products are tested on animals.

As a handcrafter, we try to use a more sustainable way of packaging our product. Our lotion bars come in reusable tins. We do use plastic shrink wrap to seal our tins, but no other packaging contains plastic.

Our small facial pearls do come in a small plastic container. We will be transitioning them over to an aluminum tin when we find an appropriate size.

Yes! Law requires us to include the INCI name for our ingredients and sometimes those names are not recognizable. This is why we also add the standard name you will recognize in our ingredient list on each product listing.

We want you to know how each ingredient affects the final product, if just out of curiosity or allergy-related. We've compiled lists of each ingredient and what they bring to the table. Check them out here: Butters & Oils, Additives (special oils, etc.), Scents (essential oils & fragrance oils), and colorants (powders & clays). You will also find these links in our footer at the bottom of each page as well as in the drop-down menu. If you don't see a particular ingredient listed, let us know, and we will add it. You can also google the standard name or INCI name for a good snapshot of the ingredient and its uses.

Sometimes trying new products, especially natural products that may work differently from commercial products, your body might start to detox and make change to your skin, hair, etc. Sometimes the change may be a negative one at first while your body adjusts to the new product. If this happens, don't immediately set aside the product. Your body may take a few days to a few weeks of use to work itself out and come to a balance.

However, if you are having an allergic reaction, discontinue use immediately and seek medical help, if needed. (Even natural ingredients have allergens that people can react with. Patch test first if you are worried about sensitives.)

If our product(s) just don't work for you after consistently using them for several weeks, or if you have an allergic reaction to one of our products, please contact us so we can discuss a refund or replacement of the item(s).

Our sunscreen has 25% non-nano zinc oxide. In order for us to claim a certain SPF, we must have them tested by a lab. Since we are a small company, we don't have the resources to pay for testing. Do your research as well as test the bar for yourself to conclude the effectiveness for you and your family.
