Lake of the Woods Sunrise Soap Co.
Located in the beautiful City of Kenora on the shores of Lake of the Woods and the Winnipeg River, Whitney Allen is dedicated to creating soaps and skin care products which are all-vegetable, all-natural, 100% phosphate free and biodegradable. The shoreline and Boreal forest that surround Whitney provide a constant reminder of the importance of respecting the environment and of creating environmentally friendly products.
Setting High Standards
Whitney sets high standards for her soaps and skin care products, refusing to compromise on the quality of her ingredients. Whitney creates high quality soaps and skin care products for sensitive skin. They are free of alcohol, synthetic dyes, preservatives, and artificial fragrances. She makes her soap in 10 kg batches in her kitchen and pours into wooden molds that her husband makes. There are over 18 types of soaps including: Organic Peppermint, French Pink Clay, French Lavender, Wild Rice Bar, Orange Spice, Tea Tree Complexion bar, and Citrus Sunrise. She uses pure olive oil along with specialty vegetable oils such as apricot kernel oil, Manitoba hemp seed oil, shea butter, mango butter and coconut oil. Whitney uses organic herbs and botanicals, many from her own garden. Pure essential oils provide skin care properties and subtle scent to her soap.
Sunrise Soaps: All Natural!
Whitney decided from the beginning to take the pure and natural path, in spite of the challenge and higher costs for her ingredients. Her focus is on quality and purity, and on creating a luxury soap that feels different, leaving the skin feeling clean but not dry and tight. Grapefruit seed and rosemary extract is in every bar as natural preservatives, contributing even more extraordinary skin care properties and making her soaps truly exceptional for your complexion. Whitney has found her soap, cream, lip balm, and bath products to be very popular with those who are looking for natural and gentle alternatives to commercial and synthetic skin care products. Lake of the Woods Sunrise Soap is very popular with people who experience problems such as acne, eczema, or sensitive skin (that's most of us!).
As Whitney says, "Lake of the Woods Sunrise Soap Co. products are better for your skin, better for the environment, simply better!"
***It's important to note that even though Lake of the Woods Sunrise Soap Co. soaps are all-natural, they should NEVER be used directly in the lakes or rivers. All soaps need soil to break down and it's recommended the soaps be used 30m from the water's edge.***
