Our products are natural and in many instances certified organic. Wherever appropriate, only natural preservatives are used. Without the addition of chemical preservatives, shelf-life can be somewhat limited:

  • Tea Blends will retain their herbal properties for up to 2 years if stored properly. Store away from direct heat and light, preferably in a glass jar.
  • Therapeutic Salves & Oils, which contain natural oils generally last about 6 – 9 months. The addition of essential oil help to retain them, but if you are not planning on using the product within this timeframe, we recommend refrigeration to extend shelf-life.
  • Face & Body Products generally last for about 1 year. Again, refrigeration is recommended to extend shelf-life beyond this time period.
  • Bath Care – Our Bath Salts and Milk Bath, if stored properly with a sealed lid, will retain freshness for approximately 1 year. Scrubs, due to oil content, last about 6 – 9 months.
