who we are

Dot & Lil is about a perfect blending of modern and vintage. Old vintage tea cups come together with classic scents and clean modern design to create products that are just as nice to look at as they are to use. We make bath & body and skincare products with a fresh, young feel. Our product are made by hand in our Montreal studio.

Packaging and presentation are just as important as our addictive and always-just-right fragrances-- we are obsessed with finding classic, true-to-life fragrances! That means our lilac scent will always smell just like sticking your nose in some lilac flowers.

Our products are simple, effective and uncomplicated. Everything we make in anhydrous, meaning it contains no water. This means we can safely formulate our products without preservatives, and also makes them ultra-concentrated so that a little bit goes a long way!

Dot & Lil is run by me, Anne Dardick. I am one very passionate girl, on a mission to build a soap empire! I believe very strongly in getting truthful, well-researched information to consumers about what they use on their bodies. I want to represent truth in skin care! There's a lot of misinformation in this industry, and I want to fight it. Handcrafting and the arts are also very important to me. I want to build my company in such a way that those values are never lost.

I read a lot. I blog. I tweet. I make and wrap a lot of soap. And I love what I do!
