I have walked past this place a million times and never paid full attention to it until I saw cupcakes in the window. And then realized they were soap. And THEN realized that this is an awesome Canadian store where all their soaps and lotions and makeup is handmade, in tiny batches, with lots of love.
The love part might be cheesy, but the owners do have PhDs in biology, so I think I trust that they know what's good for my skin. Not only that, but all their products are so adorable and just as nice for skin. I have really sensitive skin and I've never had any problems with their lotions and soaps, whereas I have gotten rashes from drugstore brands before.
This store has great products to help you take better care of your skin, and they also have a bunch of cute items (like the cupcakes) that make awesome gifts. Staff are super friendly and know a ton about their products, and it makes you feel good supporting local business while keeping your skin soft and smelling pretty.
Also, check out their Christmas collection...gingerbread scented stuff? You'll want to eat it.
