Customer Reviews
I have a mast-cell disorder which causes me to react as if allergic to a variety of substances, both artificial (which eliminates a lot of mainstream personal care products) and natural (which tends to eliminate the rest). I have actually written to major cosmetic companies to ask them "What do you sell that does NOT contain..." with a list of about 15 common ingredients that make me break out, wheeze, or suffer spontaneous bleeding (not fun). Only one of those companies ever responded usefully, and all they sell that I'm not allergic to is... like... face masks and toner and 'anti-ageing-serum'..... like, frivolous extra stuff, not the basics of a personal care and hygeine routine. It's like shopping for pants that fit and all you can find are... tiaras and earrings. Like, cool, but I need PANTS.
Anyway... Even most small-batch soap-makers use things like lanolin, jojoba, and shea butter, which are all on my no-list, so I have really been struggling... and itching a lot... to figure out what the heck I can USE safely, and then I ran across JKLM, where *everything* is safe for me to use and *nothing* is off-limits, (except the black-pepper blends) and I am just ecstatic!
It would be enough to just not-hurt-me at this stage, but to have products that actively feel luxurious and special is a wonderful bonus. And for all the ingredients lists to be SHORT and SIMPLE and WELL LABELED is amazing.
THIS is what accessibility looks like!
This means that if I *do* have a reaction to one of these products at some point, I will easily be able to figure out WHY and then avoid that ingredient again, instead of having yet another mystery to add to the pile.
And to answer my own pre-purchase question:
No, the cats haven't tried to lick me to death. Apparently these products do not smell like 'food' to them. :-D
(Y'all asked for a review, see what you get? That'll teach ya!)
Such a cute gift set. Loved all the products. Except I noticed that for my acne prone skin, the marrow based products made me break out a bit, but the tallow based ones did not! Love the soaps, the lip balms. The packaging was super cute, this would make an amazing gift for anyone who is looking to clean up their beauty routine.
Great presentation and a great gift!
Purchased a couple more sets after I received the awesome first box! Will be wonderful gifts for family members that have sensitive skin. The presentation with the wooden box, soap dish and soap bag, along with the soaps, make this a very special gift I am proud to give.
This is such an awesome gift box! It was designed and packaged exceptionally well! So many uses for the wood box! I love the soaps (ordered before!) They are wonderful for my skin. Unlike other soaps that are drying. I am allergic to perfumed soaps and am so thankful I discovered this brand. There is something special about ordering products from a farm in Vermont! The soap dish is a work of art! You can order them separately and I read up on how they are made. A nice addition to this gift box. The soap pouch is better than a sponge. This was a great holiday purchase!! Hope they are offered again next year.
