Salt of the Earth began several years ago creating and developing all natural products for the home and body. As the owner DeAnn Keefer became more sensitive to conventional household cleaning products which contains chemicals, her search for a healthy environment began. DeAnn is also a Licensed Massage Therapist and noticed a lot of her clients that were very sick were allergic to similar products that she was. That is how Salt of the Earth had it’s beginnings. As a massage therapist, DeAnn was doing foot spas and other services so started creating all natural bath salts and body scrubs with 100% therapeutic grade oils and organic Himalayan salts. She then moved on to making all natural laundry detergent as she was getting request from parents that were going back to the all natural ways of using cloth diapers on their babies. With the development of several other all natural cleaning products and natural body products, DeAnn has disposed of every chemically induced item in her home and replaced with all natural products. DeAnn’s Salt of the Earth logo not only represents something very biblical, there is also a lotus at the bottom which represents being grounded and resilient. Health is the richest item one can develop by merely changing to an all natural atmosphere. Let’s get healthy together by trying Salt of the Earth’s all natural products made in Waterford, Michigan.

Introducing Sister Bees All Natural Skin Care Products

Sister Bees Beeswax Skin Care Products

Sister Bees Beeswax Skin Care Products

Sister Bees began their journey in Ludington Michigan as two best friends wanting to provide the very best for their family. The all natural skin care products are made with local beeswax and local honey. From their hives, as well as other local beekeepers, they have developed an all-natural skin care product line which includes the amazing benefits of beeswax. They look forward to bringing skin care products “from their hive to your home”.
The Sister Bees Lip Balm is made with all natural flavorings and ingredients including beeswax. It feels smooth going on and refreshes your lips for hours. Enjoy such flavors as Coffee Vanilla, Chai, Cherry Pie, Orange Vanilla, Apple Cider, Vanilla Brandy and more!
The Sister Bees Butter has the texture of butter and is made with all natural ingredients including beeswax. The Worker Bee Butter for rough overworked skin provides the same benefits, but with a manly scent. Use Bee Butter for Dry skin, Bug Bites, Cuts, Burns, Diaper Rash, Eczema, Make-Up Remover, Shiny Hair, Fine Lines, Puffy Eyes and Psoriasis. Beeswax is an excellent addition to cosmetic products for many reasons:

  1. When used in lotions and creams, beeswax creates a barrier which helps to seal moisture into the skin. This is especially beneficial in lip chap during the dry winter months.
  2. This barrier also helps to protect the skin from environmental toxins and irritants.
  3. Unlike petroleum jelly, which is used in a large variety of beauty products, beeswax will not “suffocate” the skin, but rather, allow it to breathe while still providing a protective barrier.
  4. Beeswax helps to thicken homemade cosmetics and lotions because it is solid at room temperature and has a relatively high melting point of 147 degrees Fahrenheit.
  5. Beeswax has Vitamin A, which improves hydration to the skin and promotes cell regeneration.
  6. Beeswax helps heal minor skin cuts, abrasions, scrapes and wounds.
Sister Bees All Natural Bee’s Beard Balm provides great moisture for men’s beards and gives it a slight hold. It is made of all natural ingredients including beeswax, Shea butter, olive oil, avocado oil, sweet almond oil, vitamin E, frankincense, tea tree, carrot and cedar wood essential oils.
Not leaving our fine furry friends out, the Sister Bees All Natural Paw Putty is an amazing paw wax that soothes, protects, heals and nourishes your pets paws and snout. This beeswax paw wax helps to heal dry, cracked paws that have been damaged by the elements.
Because this Beeswax Butter is made with all natural ingredients and no preservatives, we recommend storing the all natural butter in a cool place to prevent melting. For best results, use product within six months of purchase.

The Kooty Key is the brain child of Ken Kolb of Clinton Township Michigan. Ken is a champion bodybuilder and an auto parts salesperson. Since he was on the road most of the day he routinely accessed public restrooms, restaurants, banks, stores, etc. Over the years he noticed how air blowers in restrooms were becoming more prevalent do to the focus on ecology. Restrooms that have air blowers usually do not supply paper toweling as an alternative drying method. In the past many people concerned with proper hygiene would dry their hands with the paper towel and then use it to grab the door handle of the restroom upon exiting. One day—during the peak of the flu season he was standing at the sink washing his hands, watching people use the facilities and then immediately exit the restroom without hand washing or cleanup of any kind. He thought about how often he had struggled to find a method of grabbing the handle upon his exit without re-contaminating himself with the millions of germs residing on the door handle. At that moment as he reached for his car keys a thought was born — the Kooty Key!
The Kooty Key comes equipped with an opening to attach to a key ring, belt loop, retractable badge, or add a carbine clip and hang it from your purse. The Kooty Key is an easy to use hands-free, germ-free utility tool!

Introducing Valganics Handcrafted Soap

Valganics bath body products

Valganics Handcrafted Soap, Body & More

Based in Canton, Michigan, Valganics Handcrafted Soaps loves making vegan soap with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Organic Coconut Oil and Essential Oils. Valganics Handcrafted Soap, Body & More™ was started from a path to pursue creation and contribution by helping others. From a vision and a purpose due to life experiences, creativity transpired that can only come from a sensitive heart. From the name, to the ingredients, to the quality – a story is told.
Val Ristovski, the Soap Artist, was led into soap making as a result of a series of events she had experienced over the years. She always had very sensitive and problematic skin since childhood. During the harsh winters when the weather is really dry, her knuckles would actually split and bleed. During the summers she would sunburn very easily if not careful. In 2006 she had a malignant skin cancer melanoma removed. Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer. This single event was enough to trigger her awareness and made her very conscious about what she put on her skin and that of her family. During this journey of change, she began to focus attention on nutrition and lifestyle and avoided unnecessary chemicals in our home.
Val read and studied many books on soap making, which began with 25 books. She felt that by educating and helping herself she would be helping others by providing an alternative soap product. She started to make soap for her family and friends and developed a new respect for all of the ingredients. Val decided to focus her energy on creating soap from scratch using a version of the Cold-Process Method. The versatility of soap allows her to be as simple or as artistic as she wants to be and have full control of the ingredients. As for the ingredients, it was an absolute must to decide on the oil base she was going to use and not deviate from her “standard”.
Val’s philosophy on soap and its purpose is that using it should be an enjoyable experience knowing that it was made with a lot of effort and care. Getting back to basics and understanding the labor-intensive old-fashioned way of how soap was made many years ago can help reconnect us to something that has been lost in history – replaced by technology and mass production as it exists today. Soap is meant to clean your skin and hair – plain and simple. For those of us who are sensitive like Val, as well as those who have developed sensitivities over the years, her hope is that you will find relief and perhaps gain insight and understanding about real, old-fashion, all natural soap.
