- Is your packaging recyclable?
- Do you make custom items for folks with allergies?
- What does the term "Fair Trade" mean?

What products do you suggest that would help with eczema? TOP
I would like to offer the suggestion that perhaps
skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema are the
result of allergies. Your skin is an organ, the largest on your body, and is
often overwhelmed with toxins. Often people who have these issues also
have some sensitivity to milk or wheat. This sensitivity, along with constant
bombardment with chemicals can be just too much, and you end up with these
terrible rashes. I think that, although a topical treatment might help, in
order to fully heal these types of illnesses, a dietary change might be what it
takes.
With all of that being said, DEFINATELY use a gentle unscented soap, I offer "simply soap", dead sea soap, and african black soap that would be appropriate. Next, of course, a gentle unscented moisturizer, either a body oil, or butter. If you have a dry flaky condition, perhaps an occiasional application of my "vegan green balm" would be helpful.

Is your packaging recyclable? TOP
Yes, all of my packaging is recyclable, and I reuse and recycle all of
my incoming ingredient packaging (even baggies). Also, my
soap packaging to seeded, plantable paper right now, so that is zero
waste! Even the tie string can be planted.
I am constantly researching new ways to make my carbon footprint lighter and my products and packaging more eco friendly.

Do you make custom items for folks with allergies? TOP
I
do, actually I've created all sorts of custom things, please feel free
to contact me
anytime, iIve made custom products for migraines, moon times, eczema,
and even athletes foot. Also, I realize that there an'rem't many
products out there that take into consideration those with allergies,
and ALL of my products are formulated without nut oils (with the
exception of shea nut) and
soy oil.
What does the term "Fair Trade" mean? TOP
Fair Trade Certification empowers farmers and
farm workers to lift themselves out of poverty by investing in their
farms and communities, protecting the environment, and developing the
business skills necessary to compete in the global marketplace.
Fair Trade is much more than a fair price! Fair Trade principles include:
- Fair price:
Democratically organized farmer groups receive a guaranteed minimum
floor price and an additional premium for certified organic products.
Farmer organizations are also eligible for pre-harvest credit.
- Fair labor conditions:
Workers on Fair Trade farms enjoy freedom of association, safe working
conditions, and living wages. Forced child labor is strictly
prohibited.
- Direct trade:
With Fair Trade, importers purchase from Fair Trade producer groups as
directly as possible, eliminating unnecessary middlemen and empowering
farmers to develop the business capacity necessary to compete in the
global marketplace.
- Democratic and transparent organizations: Fair Trade farmers and farm workers decide democratically how to invest Fair Trade revenues.
- Community development:
Fair Trade farmers and farm workers invest Fair Trade premiums in
social and business development projects like scholarship programs,
quality improvement trainings, and organic certification.
- Environmental sustainability: Harmful agrochemicals and GMOs are strictly prohibited in favor of environmentally sustainable farming methods that protect farmers’ health and preserve valuable ecosystems for future generations.

My face is very dry, and soap seems to dry it out more, what should I do? TOP
Sometimes
soap IS too harsh for your skin, and can do more damage than good, but
you still want to cleanse your skin, I have created a cleansing facial
scrub that is made with gentle grains, clays, and hydrosols. It will
not dry your skin out in the least, but will cleanse and exfoliate. So
gentle you can use daily.
