DISCRIMINATING PRODUCTS FOR DISCRIMINATING PEOPLE

Bath & Body Gift Baskets

Now is the time to get our bodies ready for the summer months.  A good exfoliate to slush away dead dry skin on your feet, elbows and knees.  Balms to help get rid of the bunions, lotions for dry skin.  We carry great natural products to help you get and keep your skin at its best. 

Although tempted, because of the so-call current recession, we have not raised our prices.  The only price which may have changed is shipping and we have no control over those costs.

We also realize that you can get cheaper products at your local discount store, but what is the quality you are receiving.   We at Lady of the Herbs are and will continue to give you the best quality products at affordable prices. 

This year, everyone is talking about "Green."  Meaning things which are organic or made without chemicals.  Yet many companies which say the are "green," are full of petro-chemicals. 

From our beginning we have strived to give a product made without petro-chemicals.  Our goal is to give you, our customer, products which are free of chemicals.  We never use Vaseline® or mineral oil in any of our products.  If a product does call for  Vaseline® , we use what is known as petroleum  Vaseline® and a natural carrier oil. 

Our family uses and tests out all of our products, and until we feel it is what we would use, we do not put it up on our site.

We want you, our valued customer, to receive the best all natural hand-crafted product we can offer.  So, whether the "in" word is "Green", "Organic" or "All Natural", that is exactly what we have been doing for the past ten years, and will continue to make our products not only good for your skin, but good for the environment

The majority of orders are shipped within 3-7 business days after order is received. At all times, we will work to get you the best shipping rate and the most reliable shipping method possible.
