We do not use mineral oil, lanolin or petrolatum. Many of the more expensive famous brands commercially manufacture products that contain these items. These ingredients are not beneficial to your skin, in fact they actually form a coating on the skin that blocks penetration into the skin.
The only products of ours that are required to contain a preservative are Anne's Luxury Lotion, Hana's Goat's Milk Lotion and Grandma Rina's Happy Feet Crème due to their containing both oil and water. We use a similar preservative to top name brands which allows these products a shelf life of up to 18 months.
All our products are made fresh, no worry that they have been sitting on a shelf for months. We do not do animal testing nor do our suppliers.
Our products are not recommended for use on animals. Keep out of reach of small children. There is always the risk of allergies. Always try a small amount of a new product on by dabbing the back of the hand or wrist before use. If you experience rash or irritation, discontinue use at once. Due to the risk of irritation, bath additives are not recommended for prolonged use, or for use by children. Always use caution when using soaps or bath additives, as they can make the tub slippery. Certain essential oils and herbs are not recommended for use during pregnancy or lactation, or if you have certain medical conditions; please consult a doctor for advice. We take absolutely no responsibility for the misuse of any of our bath and body products.
