Spa Sisters - line of bath & body products

Spa Sisters
Not your typical ‘green’ line of bath & body products, we design a luxury line of oh-so-pretty products that are made with pure and natural ingredients. From luxurious soufflé scrubs, lip butters, whipped body meringues to cocoa butter tub truffles, we’ve got something for everyone, from the hippest mamas to the youngest babes. We carefully select fair trade ingredients and whip up batches of these delectable little treats - all by hand! We don't think you should have to sacrifice style just to be 'green', so you'll notice that our products are hip and swanky looking, but still great for your skin and our environment!

And of course, all our products are:
SLS and SLES free
Paraben free
FDC colour/artificial dye free
Petroleum product free
Not tested on animals

Knowing that what you put on your body is easily absorbed through the skin – the body’s largest organ – it only makes sense to know exactly what you’re using, especially on your babes. Our baby line is super gentle and made with pure and simple ingredients that are 100% natural & organic.

Want some? There are a few ways to get your hands (and body!) on Spa Sisters products. You can order online at http://www.spasisters.ca/ or you can invite a few friends over for a girls’ night and indulge in a spa party. To celebrate moms and all that you do, order online during the month of May and save 10% using the promo code MOM when you checkout.

Oakville Moms Review:
I feel that the sisters from Spa Sisters spoiled me when they sent their products for me to try out. It felt like the Spa came to my home! Each of their products are beautifully packaged and presented. Having learned so much the last couple of years from being a mom, I am so aware of product ingredients, especially when it comes to products for my children. I am all for eco-friendly and green products and this is something that the Spa Sisters deliver.

I am now addicted to the pomegranate berry body meringue. I absolutely love the scent and feel of this body meringue. It is so smooth and easily absorbs well. Whether you have dry skin or not, you can't go wrong with the body meringue.

The organic shea butter is a great product if you or your child suffer from eczema, minor irritations and dry skin. It is a rich moisturizer containing pure jojoba oil and vitamin e. I use this for my knees and elbows.

The bum balm is a must have for your babies bottom. This product has 100% natural ingredients and contains no zinc.It's gentle and effective in relieving your babies bum rashes. Spa Sisters also make their own artisan soap by hand.

I had a chance to try out the rosemary mint artisan soap. I love the scent and it is more refreshing than the common soap.

My kids had a great time making bubbles with the mandarin bubble bath. It has a yummy scent and it's biodegradable. This product doesn't have any SLS, SLES, synthetic fragrances or artificial colours. It is a great option to consider if your little one has sensitive skin.

Overall I am very impressed with Spa Sisters products. They create a line of spa products that are 100% natural and organic ingredients, suitable for anyone in your family. Check out their site to find out what products meet your needs. You can win one of two certificates from Spa Sisters this month by entering our contest. more>>
