Friendly on your skin, the environment, & your wallet.

I started making these products for myself & our family. I didn’t like the amount of chemicals & toxins in store-bought versions, but I also found alternative products quite expensive. Enjoying a challenge, I started to teach myself how to make these things.
After sharing some products with friends, they were constantly asking me when I would make a business & start selling these things!

We are friendly, affordable, always contactable and ready for any questions. We are happy to try and accommodate all hires when possible, so please ask.
We selected all of our castles with help from the kids, so we know we are on the right track. We also have great pride in our product and ensure each unit is clean before it’s next hire.
