I started buying Body Shop products decades ago when the shops first came to Canada and the company was seen as the healthy alternative for personal care products. When the government began requiring the ingredients be listed on the containers, I was absolutely shocked at how many ingredients with long, complicated and unpronounceable sounding names were listed on the Body Shop products. I was also surprised and disconcerted that they listed the ingredients under a removable sticker so that they were hidden. Then I started hearing about the dangers of the ingredients put in many personal care products. I even went to a David Suzuki Foundation lecture on "the dirty dozen" - the worst 12 of the toxic ingredients in personal care products. In a study that the Foundation did, 80% of personal care products contained at least one of these ingredients. I was putting toxins on my body while I put organic food into my body and use natural products to clean my house and clothes. Instead of doing research about the chemicals that are listed on the products to try and figure out what is safe, I decided to start looking for alternatives. I began going to craft fairs and bought a few different natural personal care items from different crafters. 

And that's how I discovered mains de mariposa. I bought a few of Mains de mariposa products at a craft fair and absolutely loved them. They work incredibly well, feel luxurious and have a short list of pronounceable and recognizable ingredients. But the best thing about Mains de mariposa is Bonnie. She is personable and engaging, goes out of her way to provide service in the most gracious and accommodating way imaginable, and is so incredibly knowledgeable about her products and the ingredients she uses. For example, she doesn't just make one hand cream and put different fragrances in it so that it appeals to different people. She carefully researches ingredients and formulates each hand cream product to do a different job. I am so very lucky that I found her!
