Customer Reviews

"I've been using the face wash, and I have some pretty amazing before-and-after pics. It was amazing timing when it arrived, as I was just having a flare-up of eczema/rosacea, and after two days of using your soap, it was gone." -CM, Pennsylvania 

 

"I am going to throw out all my products that are not yours." -CB, Rochester, MI


"I do want all of the products. I have actually thrown out my other products." -CB, Rochester, MI

"I aggravated an old and painful jaw problem by taking huge, ravenous bites of several very crisp apples from the B/ham co-op. Your anti-inflammatory ointment / lotion is AMAZING!! Over the course of a few days, it gave me such relief. This is a very particular pain involving the small muscles of the face, and it's hard to treat. I have in the past been prescribed incredibly strong barbiturate derivatives. But your ointment works just as well, if not better!" -PT, Bellingham, WA

"The ultimate in simplistic daily self-care. Your skin care products are wonderful for my skin, body and mind.  Your pure ingredient products are the best I have ever used.  A priceless daily experience!"   -TC, Boston, MA

"I got bit by another spider/insect -- the Anti-inflammatory balm was instrumental in recovering quickly from that."  -BP, Point Roberts, WA

"I’ve struggled with seasonal allergies for years and yet it always catches me by surprise. I get earaches, sinus congestion and lots of inflammation around my neck and throat. Typically, I try an off the shelf allergy and sinus medication and/or steroid based nasal sprays which have a lot of side effects.
This time I applied the Slow Botanicals Anti-Inflammatory + Antioxidant Cream to my neck, over my throat, behind my ears and below my eyes. The relief was immediate, and with no side effects! This cream had a real impact and I’m going to make it part of a program for me: more water, less inflammatory foods and the topical use of this Anti-Inflammatory + Antioxidant Cream.
To someone considering purchasing this cream I say: Try it! Try it for many applications. If you’re taking a lot of ibuprofen or topical anti-inflammatory creams for pain, this is a great alternative and isn't damaging to your skin."
-RO, Vancouver, BC

"I just had to tell you that your wonderful cream has totally fixed my irritated neck of leather! I was sure I’d have to live out the rest of my days with a neck like a reptile. But no. Thank you so much!" -LC, Finn Slough, BC

"I am a 72 year old woman who is a licensed mental health counselor. Before beginning work for the day, I was walking my big poodle and little Pomeranian on the side of the road in our rural quiet community. As you might guess, this walk involved picking up after my dogs.
What I didn’t expect was a severe allergic reaction on my face from touching some wild plant. It was red and itchy and getting worse by the second.
I came home as quickly as I could and pulled out of the drawer a jar of Slow Botanical’s Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Blend, smeared it on my face, and within minutes the itching and redness was gone.
I now have four jars so that I do not run out. I use it daily on my face and under my eyes. Very grateful to Chwynyn for this wild poplar bud, turkey tail mushroom, organic olive oil and beeswax blend."
 -MB, Point Roberts, WA

"I have always had issues with my skin from eczema as a child to psoriasis as an adult. I have used Castille Soap and Dove but found over the years that my skin was tight and these products were abrasive. I ended up not using any soap at one point and just warm water and a towel and showered twice a day.
The Slow Botanicals soap I have used is luxurious. It is thick and creamy, without leaving that film on my skin. I have not had a bad break out when using this soap and feel finally I have found something that works for me. At first, before trying Slow Botanicals soap, I was worried about it creating more skin issues for me, and afraid it may have contained chemicals. However, after meeting Chwynyn and talking about my skin issues I gave it a go and am so happy I did.
I no longer have huge break outs of psoriasis and feel good about using soap on my skin. I would like to tell others to TRY IT!  It is a wonderful product that is clean and natural."
-MF, Washington State

 

"As a relatively long-time user of Chwynyn’s soaps I can definitely say they have improved the quality of my life. I have VERY sensitive skin and have struggled to find a soap that didn’t trigger issues.
Upon hearing my story, Chwynyn recommended two different kinds of her handmade soap that she thought would work for me and I have been using them happily ever since. Chwynyn is very knowledgeable about the ingredients that she puts into her soaps and how those ingredients affect your skin.
I am certainly glad that she is here on the Point and I can’t say enough about her soaps."
-ME, Point Roberts, Washington


 

"I have been using this Shampoo Bar for a year now. I love it because it is completely natural, it smells great, just like a baby soap, and it does a great job. It foams extremely well and leaves my hair clean, but not over-dried.
I had used 3-4 different bars of shampoo before and I found that the natural oils in them dried my hair a bit too much. Some of the bars I had used were store bought and some were handmade locally but with natural DoTerra oils in them. They all over-dried my hair which is highlighted and needs proper moisture and maintenance.
This Shampoo Bar seems to be much more gentle on my hair. It also makes me feel good about putting only natural ingredients in my hair and not any chemicals. I love the fact that there is no plastic packaging, no unsustainable natural oils, no carbon footprint from transportation and factories.
I also love supporting a small local business. This Shampoo Bar not only makes my hair feel great, but it also makes me feel good about supporting the environment and my community" -
MH, Delta BC



"I have had some good liquid shampoos in the past but they are no longer available. I was not happy with what I was using as my hair seemed to get dirty again very quickly.
I mentioned this to Chwynyn and she recommended her shampoo bar. I love this product! It lathers well and rinses cleanly, leaving my hair soft and the curls of my perm happy. I pat my hair dry, lightly spritz with a leave-in conditioner, run a comb through - and I'm good to go.
The shampoo bar itself is long lasting and free of heavy scents. And the best part is my hair looks and feels clean for days."
-Barb Wayland, Point Roberts, Washington

The website is beautiful! It really captures 'you' and essence of your offerings.

I love my cloth napkins and use them every day. I put the salve on at night before I go to bed. And if I feel my body needs it, I take one of the tinctures. I love that I know where they come from, who has made them, the ingredients inside them and the love that was part of the process. -C.S. local customer
