We’re so happy to welcome amazing local skincare legend to GCE!

Sarah’s Soaps soulfully crafts skincare for all bodies from nourishing plant based ingredients.

Hand harvested wild botanicals from forests in the Niagara Region, pure essential oils, plant butters, waxes and clays make up these amazing products that are simple yet effective.

Always natural, vegan and gentle on the skin and the planet.

And now there are two!

Our new Lip Butter with avocado and pomegranate is a plumping, nourishing, barrier building formula that seals in moisture to keep lips soft and hydrated.

The texture is smooth, buttery and long lasting!
