As a lonely "cosmetic manufacturer",

~ and believe me, my home economics teacher (Ms. LeVangee, always pregnant, hated me, Gr 7 & 9, Cornwallis Jr. High) would laugh her head off if she heard I was doing this ~

I really cherish the feedback I get from clients and online customers about my products. I really do make them for you, by hand, in my (sterilized) kitchen, with great care. None of the recipes are out of a can. I formulate everything myself based on my research. So it really means something when you let me know how it works for you, and how I can tweak it to make it even better.

Here are some of the comments contestants made in their entries to Katie of Kitchen Stewardship. What's your favourite? Please leave a comment!

I LOVE this store!! I will definitely be purchasing from them! I love that they are Canadian and won't cost me an arm and a leg for shipping and duty fees. Favourites so far are the deodorant and the foot fungus treatment (my hubby has had toe fungus for years that he can't get rid of.)

A natural cold sore cream!!! :) Blister Balm--my new fav! With Boo Boo soother a close second (and what great names!)

Well I really really like the looks of the Safe Sun Protection Cream!!! I might buy some after the giveaway......

I wish I could take some of their diy workshops! I'd really like to try some of the soaps, too. Maybe the avocado or almond butter....

Just email me and you can order the notes to any of my workshops by mail and/or email for $10!

I would love to try their shampoo and conditioner.

Favourite: Detoxifying Cream Deodorant

Blister Balm for my ten yr old that is forever getting lip blisters!

Favourite: The tub truffles sound great! I think I would have to try all of the flavors.

Favourite: Raindance Balancing Face Wash

Favourite: (Don't) Bite Me II insect repellant

Favourite: Detoxifying Cream Deodorant

Favourite: Pink grapefruit essential oil, and peppermint essential oil, and maybe a few more scents.

Favourite: Butter: Shea Natural Grade, Fairly Traded

Favourite: Don't bite me insect repellent

Well, this is probably not what you meant, but I LOVE the section of DIY stuff. That bulk cocoa butter is calling my name! And they have all kinds of cool containers (non-plastic!).

Favourite: Like the idea of custom shampoo and/or conditioner

Favourite: Lotion: Shea Intensive Healing III

Favourite: Definitely the custom liquid shampoo. Sounds awesome.

Favourite: I want the Tea Tree Organic Essential Oil to use in my homemade baby wipes.

Favourite: The bulgarian lavender incense. And...I think I need to move to Ontario.

My favorite product is the whitening tooth powder. I had my teeth cleaned this week, and the hygienist struggled with the tea stains. I'm very interested in a natural product to make my next cleaning less of a struggle for her.

The sun protection cream is my favorite.

Favourite: Custom shampoo and conditioner.

Favourite: Organic Avocado Lime Glycerin Soap

Favourite: Annarres Tooth Powder

Favourite: The tooth powder [no glycerine]! But the Elemental Protection Lotion seems like the perfect product for my 30s skin!

Favourite: really any of the essential oils. I love lavendar and eucalyptus though

Favourite:(Don't) Bite Me II insect repellant

Favourite: excited about the cocoa light lotion also! Would buy some of that too!

Favourite: Elemental Protection Lotion (Such a hard choice as there are so many good products!)

Favourite: Boo Boo Soother

Favourite: Mamalicious Baby Balm

Favourite: **blushing** I've heard about this product and have been wanting to try it. It's the Diva Cup: Menstrual Cup.

I am not sure these are corn-free since she does not say where the vegetable wax comes from. I do like her lotions though!

The vegetable wax is INCI emulsifying wax NF which consists entirely of fatty alcohols http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/ingredient.php?ingred06=702407 and sorbitan esters http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/ingredient.php?ingred06=706227 .

All of my products are corn-free except for:
~ detox cream deodorant (and lavender cream deodorant in clinic)
~ shampoos made with xanthan gum, which COULD POSSIBLY be grown on corn
~ tub truffles

I am happy to custom formulate and order to be corn-free.
Please just ask!

85-cent recycled toilet paper. Hopefully it wasn't originally toilet paper before being recycled.

Favourite: Safe Sun Protection Cream

Favourite: The Candy Cane mouthwash and spritzer, if you make me pick one; my second favorite product was the shea intensive healing lotion, i have terribly dry heals.
