I just want to say how much I love your products! I started buying the Bergamot Bliss body cream years ago and it is the only one I use now. I purchased the mint lip balm today and I love it equally! Your soaps are also amazing. Thank you so much for being there and continuing your business. I will continue to support you as long as you exist ; )

Unfortunately I didn't purchase this deodorant from your website but I did from a naturopathy. Hence the email vs being able to leave feedback on the site. Regardless, I just wanted to say; absolutely spot on with the gentlemen's blend deodorant, it's a revelation really. It's my first experience with your products and I'll happily search them out in the future!

Castile Soaps - love them!!

The Castile soaps are of superb quality, giving a fabulous clean with such great value! I love the scents, but also the comfort of knowing I am treating my skin well by using a product with such excellent ingredients. After swimming, these soaps are the only product I have ever found to totally remove the smell of chlorine from both my body and my swimsuit with the first washing! Win, win, in so many ways!

This is a great product at great price! Cheapest on the market for this level of quality ingredients! I prefer it to Dr Bronner's! Nice variety of pleasurable scents to choose from! I use it straight up for washing dishes, diluted by 1/2 for foaming hand soap dispensers. Love it!

So good!

Bought this for all our laundry, mopping, all purpose cleaners. I love it and the smell is spot on. Supporting a Canadian business is just the cherry on top. My only suggestion would be to maybe make a mix and match pack of 4 (4L) jugs opposed to being stuck with only one scent. I only purchased one and would have purchased the 4 pack if it had that option.

The best soap around

This is the best soap ever. It cleans well, smells great but natural and not perfume like, and leaves your skin soft. I highly recommend!

I love these bars - they have none of the preservatives that make my scalp unhappy!! Lots of suds with just a few swipes of the bar onto your hair.
But keep your eyes closed!!!

Switching to natural deodorant

 

Conventional deodorant and especially antiperspirants are known to block pores, in the case of antiperspirants aluminum is typically used to block the sweat ducts.
Initially when moving to a natural deodorant, you can find for the first few days that you seem to sweat more, this is due to the pores slowly unclogging from the commercial antiperspirants.

 

Once the detox period is completed you should find that your body adjusts and our natural deodorant keeps your underarm dry and fresh. The great news is that in our experience our natural deodorant works better the longer you use it.

 

Using the natural deodorant

 

Ensure that your under arm is clean and dry.
The deodorant applys best when warm, apply the stick to your under arm, allow to warm for a few seconds then apply a small amount with a single glide, repeat just once more if needed.
Applying too much will reduce effectiveness, and possibly result in staining on clothing. Trying to apply without warming can causing irritation due to the drag.

Reed Diffuser Usage

If scent needs increasing remember to flip the reeds, and swirl the liquid around.
Usage Option A:
  1. Pour 120ml of fractionated coconut/MCT into your container.
  2. Add 40 drops of your choice of essential oils (Check scent strength and increase as needed at this stage).
  3. Stir until the carrier oil and the essential oils are completely mixed.
  4. If you notice any separation, periodically swill around liquid.
  5. You can add 1 to 2 table spoons of everclear or vodka to increase diffusion.
  6. Flip reeds every few days to refresh scent.

Cautions:

Keep away from children, pets & OPEN FLAMES. When the scent drops, clean out and start again. Reeds can be used for around 6 months. Ensure surfaces are protected.

Usage Option B:
  1. Pour 50ml of Everclear grain alcohol into your container.
  2. Add in a minimum total of 30 drops of your choice of essential oils (Check scent strength and increase as needed at this stage).
  3. Stir until the alcohol and the essential oils are completely mixed.
  4. Add in 50ml of hot water (around 40°C).
  5. If you notice any separation, periodically swirl around liquid.
  6. Flip reeds every few days to refresh scent.

Cautions:

Keep away from children, pets & OPEN FLAMES. When the scent drops, clean out and start again. Reeds can be used for around 6 months. Ensure surfaces are protected.  Mixing additional essential oils after the water has been added can lead to separation. Ensure surfaces are protected.
