Creative Kid Studio
I have a small design/marketing business, doing a LOT of research and development of healthy, environmentally safe products over the past few years. I’ve been an organic home gardener over the past 25 years or so, and raise some of the ingredients I use in my line of castile soaps and toiletries – aloe vera, sage, patchouli, rosemary, lavender. I also make all natural bath salts, spritzers, foot powder (I have two sons – enough said!) etc. I LOVE to cook, and had a restaurant when I first moved to Arkansas 28 years ago from New Orleans. As a result, I’ve been developing some all natural/organic herb blends and seasoning mixes. It’s always fun to play in the kitchen! We raise some of the herbs, like Rosemary, Basil, and Sage, with more to come in ’09!
Here’s the list of ingredients in our soaps. As you can see, we put a lot of time, thought and care into our products.
