We're bringing groovy back with bath and shower
products made of food grade organic ingredients.
Because we believe that gourmet products should be
available for the skin we make everything by hand
using the same safety practices used in the
processing of food.

For the skin to be thoroughly nourished
the absorbption and excretion
characteristics need to work harmoniously.
SLS [(sodium laureth sulfate) a foaming
agent], phthalates (fragrance intensifiers
and plastic solvents), and nano-particles
are added to many "organic" preparations.
The benefit of the organic ingredients is
far outweighed by the disruptive and
carcinogenic properties of the
non-biological components. For more

"I acquired sensitivities to my shampoo,
conditioner, face cream, body lotion and my
favourite fragrance. I switched brands often
trying to relieve the exzema, hives and other
allergic reactions that occurred with all of
the commercial preparations. So I searched
through my storage and found the notebook of
home recipes I had made as a teen. I was
horrified at what I found. The ingredients
listed sounded like a perscription. I threw
the notebook away and picked up my old
"Culpeppers Herbal" and started to make lists
of herbs according to their uses. Herbal
vinegars and floral waters, first melissa and
rosemary, and later on wildrose and
calendula.Life became hectic while I was
raising my son. I was happy to see better
products on the shelves and so I went back to
over the counter products. I didn't realise
the damage that I was causing slowly day by
day.One day I looked in the mirror. My face
was a mess of broken blood vessels and I had
a persistant problem with hair loss. I was
unwilling to try any more concoctions. I
decided to quit using all of my products for
a month and see how I felt. Well I felt
miserable. I was very self-conscious of
whether I had odour. I realized that with the
idea of personal hygiene comes the distaste
we have for any of our own pure and natural
processes.Cleanliness is in fact an
instinctual part of our nature. It protects
us by thwarting the threat of diseases
conveyed by physical contact. But the methods
and the products used for cleansing
jeapardize that desire if they are allowed to
be carcinogenic.The skin is an organ. It
absorbs and excretes like all organs. If my
liver was outside of my body I would not rub
it with chemicals. I would not cover it with
plastics and pesticides. Before we can heal
the planetary ecosphere we need to clean up
the ecosphere of self. The body that we
inhabit deserves the best habitat we can
provide."Diane Robinson

Water is such a miraculous
substance. In the structure of the
water molecule is found the smallest
and interestingly enough the strongest
geometric structure, a triangle. This
triumvirate is created from two atoms
of hydrogen bonded to one atom of
oxygen.The ever vacillating bond allows
for the creation of many systems of
association. Herbs can be infused into
water, salts can be dissolved in water,
and we respire water in every breath.
It is the penultimate requirement of
the body, and second only to the air
that we breathe in importance.
