A hidden away gem to discover in Vancouver. The owner is very helpful and the neroli face oil is amazing. I’m on my second bottle and I’ve tried expensive brands previously but her formula is light yet moisturizing and healing to the skin. My complexion glows. I love the Seabuckhorn soap too. I’ve tried other organic soap brands but this is the highest quality I’ve experienced. This is a great shop for soap bundle gifts. Plus the body & face sea sponges are real!

Visited this lovely little shop when stopping in Vancouver in June. Helen, the owner, was so friendly and helpful. First bought some of her soap from a Sunday market on a previous visit. The face oil is lovely. I am visiting Vancouver again in November for a couple of months and will definitely be paying a Helen another visit.

Beautiful soap and bee wax candle shop. The lady who owns it, is also making everything herself. Love her craft and shop, her face oil is amazing! And her liquid soap is perfect for my skin. I will come back!

I came in here last week. I remember this being an antique store, therefore, was a little confused when I walked by it and noticed it was a skin care place. I make soaps as a hobby but I am always into what other people’s creations are. I actually saw this booth at one of the Farmer’s Markets and bought a lot of soap there. It’s good to see the transition to the store front. It makes me proud to see local businesses jumping to that level. I bought some floral scent soaps to feel more on the summer side of things. Prices are all over the map but competitive. Now I don’t have to wait for a farmer’s market.

Adorable little shop off the beaten strasse. Popped in to check out this space, which used to be an antiques store. It smelled great, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Lots of handmade soaps, along with oils and beeswax candles. After sniffing each bar, I decided on the honey oatmeal. Tried it out in my bath last night and it was lovely. Slight scent of oranges… All the soaps have no parabens, SLS, or synthetic fragrances. There is even«beer soap»! Made with hops, and great for the skin. Who knew?

I first met the owner Helen at the West End Farmers Market in 2014. She has convinced me to try her Neroli oil as a moisturizer. I was quite skeptical as I thought that the oil would make my skin more oily. On the contrary! Helen proved her knowledge to be true. One year forward and I won’t use anything except the oils. I recently went to check her store in the West End. The store is fantastic and she has expanded the range by adding liquid soaps, candles and some other great products. Take your time and chat with her. She can offer a very good piece of advice specific to your needs.

Love this store. The owner Helen is just lovely and very knowledgeable. I tried their products and loved it so much I’ve already gone back for a second visit. Their soaps are fantastic and really gets the dirt out while being gentle on your skin. They have a huge variety of products and there is definitely something for everyone.
