Testimonials

On 10/15/2025 Alexandra Scott had this to say:
I needed some real organic coco butter and I couldn't find any in the city. But with a nice detailed Google search, this place was the first to pop up and it did not disappoint! It's a haven for those who DIY their own body care and it's local and family owned!
