Soaps and Lotions

Donna's Soaps

Donna Schulz., Winnipeg. At the market since 2003

Donna has eczema and allergies, and has tried many store soaps over the years. Most retail soaps are part or all detergent-made from petroleum products. To be proactive with her sensitivities, she started making her own soaps. She grows her own herbs, and uses organic oils. There are no preservatives, dyes, perfumes or chemicals in her soaps.

Her family encouraged her to try at St Norbert's Farmers Market. This is her fourth year. She enjoys the market season, "there's no place like it". Donna is also the lost and found person for the market.

Products: 29 varieties of soaps and different spa salts weekly, Customer favorites are: lavender oatmeal, chocolate mint, carrot root, anise, rose oatmeal and the shaving bar!

 

Vintage Blends Aromatherapy

Wendy Vincent, Winnipeg. At the market since 2006

Wendy has been studying Aromatherapy for the past three years out of the Westcoast Institute of Aromatherapy in BC. She has always been interested in alternative forms of healing. When Wendy began to have trouble sleeping, she started to make “Sleep Pillows” which are small wallet sized pillows, filled with various aromatherapy products that are placed inside your pillow case to induce sleep. She found that they really worked and her product line grew from there! EVERYTHING at Vintage Blends Aromatherapy is made from scratch and if you can’t make it to the market, she also takes orders! She can be reached by email at vintageblends@mts.net or by phone at (204) 475-1799.
