Vancouver Best hand made organic soap

Looking for handmade soap that skips the synthetic stuff in favour of natural ingredients?

Stock up for your own enjoyment, or wrap up a sweetly scented gift package.

Why use organic soap ?

organic

Many people have sensitive skin that doesn’t respond well to chemically laden soap.

By using organic soap, you might be able to avoid, or at least reduce, the skin problems that are caused by irritating chemical

ingredients.

Organic soap contains ingredients that are not, and have not been produced with, herbicides, chemical fertilizers.

It’s invaluable for those who suffer from chemical sensitivities.

Where you can find hand made organic soap ?

店内もクリーン、キュートな雰囲気なのでお買い物するのがより楽しくなりますね!

洗濯洗剤、掃除に使う洗剤、ボディソープ、洗顔ソープも置いてあり全部オーガニック;)

そもそもオーガニックって何?て思う方もいますよね。

オーガニック

〈有機の〉という意味で,通常は農薬や化学肥料を使わず有機肥料によって生産された農産物のことを言います!

普段私たちが使っている石鹸の原油が石油など化学物質がたくさん含まれておりお肌が悲鳴をあげているんです。

バンクーバーにはオーガニックソープ専門店などオーガニックのお店が多いので手に入りやすいですね

 

お値段は少し高めですが、健康のことを考えたら出す価値はありますね!
