Okay. I've never heard of this place before so when I walked by it I was interested in their products. The store itself is really cute; it's almost rustic. It has a wood cabin kind of feel; natural and earthly just like their products. I walked around and smelled their body butter and hand butter sticks. They all have that natural bees wax smell; which smells interesting. It has a distinct smell and some may like it and others may not. But they have some body butters that have other natural ingredients to hide the smell of the wax if you are not a fan of it. I really like the non-scented one but then I found a cinnamon one called Spicy Mandarin and it smells really nice. I also picked up some of the hand butter and I really like it. It may take some time to get used to the smell because it's really different from any other cream/butter that I've used; but I find that it really makes my skin soft and on the days my hands are really dry it works well to relieve my problem. I also found this stick of Breakout Buster that I had to ask the lady about. I asked her if it really helps with blemishes and she said it does. Well I wanted to find out for myself. I'm 27 years old but I still get blemishes and I feel the need to pick at them, which just makes matters worst. Well I've had these two ugly "blemishes" that I've hacked away at; I've been trying to put stuff on it to keep them from drying out or for them to go away. Well I remembered that I had this Breakout Buster stick so I decided to give it a try. I put some on last night and believe it or not they're almost gone! They're on their way to healing and I've only used it once. The lady who worked in the store said she uses it the moment she feels something coming out or if she notices a read area forming. You can also use it for cold sores.
I also decided to ask the lady what I could use for my really dry and rough cheeks. She suggested washing my face with either goat's milk soap or a pumpkin one that they make. I've heard that goat's milk works well so I decided to give it a try. Well I didn't have to buy a whole bar because she gave me a decent sized sample. She also gave me a sample of face cream to try out. Well I used both products last night and this morning my rough cheeks are not so rough. They're not smooth like a baby's bottom, but I'm sure if I keep using the soap and the cream my problem will clear up.
The great thing about this store is if you are unsatisfied with their products you can just bring it back and they will refund your money. They are that confident in their products. They have a section of babies and for men but they carry a lot of stuff targeted for women. They also have a fast selection of soaps and you can just ask for a sample. I really want to try out the pumpkin one the next time I go back.
I have to say I'm really excited about this store. The sales woman was SO nice, extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. Their stores also do a points system and for every 100 points you safe $5.00. I bought about $24 with of products and I received about 32 or 34 points. The woman also gave me a card with a list of chemicals to watch out for when shopping for similar products (soap and creams). I think I found a new store to be my soap and body butter supplier! But wait you haven't heard the best part yet! It's a Canadian company! -

Rocky Mountain Soap Company is a Canadian 100% natural soap company. Like Nicole, I like to support Canadian companies and The Body Shop has just gotten too frilly frou frou with their seaweed this and blue corn that. Most of their products contain only a few ingredients that you can easily recognize, like beeswax and essential oils.
I would recommend their body butters and chapsticks (you can never have too many chapsticks!), and their giftsets would be perfect for Christmas. -

Rocky Mountain Soap Co. is a good ol' Canadian company. I like to support Canadian companies whenever possible
These guys carry all natural products that include homemade soaps that are truly one-of-a-kind.
They also carry your typical soap store products such as body butters, bath products, lip balms (which are fantastic, by the way) and others.
I'm not a big fan of aroma therapy stuff so I stay away from those products. I'm not much for the zen movement, if you know what I mean.
But the rest of their stuff is nice. It's nice to know that you are using natural stuff, especially when every other day we find out that something else in the world is bad for you.
I like Rocky Mountain Soap Co. If you haven't been, give it a shot! -

I love the products from Rocky Mountain Soap Co. You can find them all over the city in health stores and spas. I didn't know they actually had their own store, but there's a giant one in West Ed filled with their all-natural products - homemade soap, body butters, aromatherapy bath and body products, lip balms and more. Seriously, their aromatherapy bath salts are the best I've ever used. They're about $3 a pouch, good for one full hot bath, and, believe me you, it'll be the best bath you ever took. The scents are gorgeous: invigorating, calming, relaxing, rejuvenating. Not just empty New-Age Zen lingo either. This stuff delivers the state of mind and body it states on the package. There are so many big commercial products full of additives and extras, that dry the skin and leave a film of who-knows-what on it. It feels good to support a Canadian outfit that produces something of quality that's good for both you and Mother Earth.
