We hand-make most of our products near Thetis Lake in Victoria B.C. Canada.

They are all made in small batches with high quality ingredients and lots of love.

We carry a select a number of other products including mineral make-up and accessories.

We definitely do not test any of our products on animals, never have and never will.

This is something we feel very passionate about.

Most of our products are vegan.

Look for our ‘vegan’ icon on our packaging to confirm which ones are 100% vegan.

The only non-vegan ingredient we use in some of our products is beeswax.

You will see that there are various icons that represent qualities of different products

We make all our bar soap by hand using a cold process soap making method. 

We use organic, plant-based oils including coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil and even organic shea butter and combine it with an alkali (sodium hydroxide aka. lye). 

The result is a process called saponification, where the composition of the oils change with the help of the lye and create soap. 

We make all our soap in wooden boxes and cut the bars by hand, we then stack them onto drying racks and store them in a ‘soap room’ with low humidity for a number of weeks where they ‘cure’ (harden). 

The bars are then hand-trimmed and hand labelled for you to enjoy!

Note: we do not use any palm oil in this soap making method
