Used popularly for their many effective outcomes in different products, from skin moisturizers to food ingredients, I will be covering the seemingly endless…

I’ve always been pretty lucky with my skin. I didn’t really have acne growing up, dry or tightness or oily t-zone. Over the years however I have always taken good care of my skin. When my parents started Earth to Body and I got my hands on the Pure Emu Oil not only did my skin look amazing but felt fantastic. I have no wrinkles (I’m 38) but I felt my skin was looking nicer and more rejuvenated as the years went by. People always ask me what I use and it’s always been the Emu Oil. Only after I gave birth to my son did I notice a change in my skin. To anyone that has gone through such a…

“I have used this product (Zinc Oxide Blend) for 4 years on my 4 children and myself. We love it. Never have had a burn. My Mum bought a children's sunscreen in 2016 and took the grandkids for a holiday. That "children's" sunscreen ate all four of my kid’s goggles. How can that be good for the skin? My Mum now uses Earth to Body sunscreen. It does not eat goggles." Marnie, Comox  Thanks, Marnie.  We agree.  'Goggle eating' chemical sunscreen does not sound skin safe. Zinc and Sun.  A good combo. Summertime means sunshine, a long awaited therapy after a long winter. But care is necessary. Too…

Setting:  Regina spring Craft Show. ‘Earth to Body’ Booth #228 A mother, holding her baby toddler, is chatting with me about her baby’s extreme eczema. She relays a scene at her doctor’s office.  The Doctor:“Sabrina, if you do NOT put this recommended steroid cream on your baby, you are obviously NOT concerned about helping her with her eczema.  YOU may NOT like this cream, but it is the only thing that is going to help her.” Sabrina:  “But I worry about it thinning her skin.  I know steroids creams do that.  I had bad eczema as a child and I know she is suffering. Is there no alternative…

It is used in creamy products like Zinc Oxide and oily products like Spoil Me Body Oil. Some people extract the oil from the avocado to add to their Skin Nutrition. They…

Succulent Aloe Vera Don’t let the rough and prickly outer surface of the magical aloe vera plant fool you. The rich, fruity insides have many alluring properties. From aloe cakes to antibacterial oils, there is an almost indefinite list of positive features to this convenient health benefactor from heaven.Some of the many potential charitable…

It was over 5 years ago that we received this testimonial from a new Earth To Body fan.  I thought it would be fun to reshare. After all, guinea pigs do elicit smiles. Hi! One of you guys gave me some advice about my horribly damaged skin at the last One of a Kind show. She was completely right about the liquid shampoo being the culprit, not just my exposure to veterinary cleaning products. I switched to your shampoo bar and use the deodorant stone as a hand “soap”. My hands don’t crack anymore. I’ve also noticed I feel better. Usually by about mid week I’m grumpy and miserable; I’m in my…
