our philosophy

Knowing what is in what we put on our bodies is very important to us, and we know it's important to our customers as well. We don't package or sell anything that we don't use ourselves and we research all the ingredients we use extensively to make sure that they are safe and beneficial. We label everything carefully so that our customers can know exactly what they're using too.  If you ever have any questions about an ingredient you see listed on our labels, feel free to ask us! We know our stuff and we want to share the knowledge. We have worked hard to ensure that everything we make is of an exceptional quality and freshness.

Handcraft is very important to us. We try as much as we can to support other local crafters, artists, and artisans. There is something truly special about using something that someone has spent their time, energy, wisdom and skill putting together. Behind every Dot & Lil product is hours and hours of research, development, testing and care. We hope it shines through!

Buying our supplies as locally as possible and selling locally means we are contributing to, and supporting, a local economy that we would like to see prosper and grow along with Dot & Lil. It also keeps our carbon footprint as small as possible.  In addition to this we try to ensure that all of our products are packaged using recycled and recyclable materials.  We pick organics occasionally, but are more focused on shopping locally.
