Benefits of selecting Blue Lake Botanicals.
-
We believe in organic and natural.
We want to know what's in every product and where it came from, and we want you to know, too. That's why we grow many of our own plants organically, and only use natural ingredients in our products. We don't believe in artificial chemicals or additives—only the best for your skin!
-
We believe that it's important to work with sustainable small farms as much as possible.
This ensures that we are supporting the local community and making sure that the products we're buying are being produced ethically.
-
We help you to discover the value of the natural world through products, interactive classes, and education.
We want everyone to understand how important the gifts of the earth are for our overall health, and happiness.
“This is one of my favorite spots in the area to stock up on natural soaps and other healthy body/bath products. The soaps smell amazing and lather very well. After bathing or washing my face, my skin isn’t dry or irritated. The owner is friendly and knowledgeable about her products.”
