    Although it keeps getting drowned by more immediate-need projects like orders or shows, I have been working on a Dot & Lil ingredient glossary for a few months now, and I'd love to share some of it with you! The plan is for this to be a resource, that I make available online for free, that explains in a fun but detailed and researched way what ingredients we use at Dot & Lil. Below is a first...

    I want to share a little brick of information to add to our path of truthful skincare information, a step on the quest to less nonsense! Everyone should head over to beautygeeksand read the no-nonsense post about the ridiculous claim that a woman eats four pounds of lipstick in her lifetime. We all know I love to debunk a good myth! And really, a common-sense approach to a false statistic is so...

    Last week, I ran a contest for a Dot & Lil Grapefruit & Bergamot soap and a Grapefruit perfume. The only thing you had to do to enter was comment on the blog post and tell me how you felt about skincare, safety and synthetic and natural ingredients. The contest was lots of fun, and I was happy to send off the soap and perfume to the lucky winner. But what really turned out to be wonderful about...

    bath and body bergamot cosmetic safety cosmetics grapefruit handmade ingredients natural questions skincare synthetic toxic truth


    I spend a lot of time thinking about skincare ingredients, obviously. Researching, reading, learning, using and purchasing skincare ingredients and raw materials is the central cog around which all other activities at Dot & Lil turn. I, of course, have very strong opinions about this. But lately, I've been wondering....how does the public, and more specifically my customers and community, really...

    I have been thinking more and more these days about how I want Dot & Lil to represent truth in skin care, education in the personal care industry, really teach consumers about what they are using. If you know me well or have gotten to talking to me at a craft fair, you'll know how passionate I am about understanding what we use on our bodies. I was reminded today by this blog post by Seth Godin(wh...

    antioxidants cosmetic safety dot and lil handcrafted homemade locally made lotion montreal natural preservatives produits pour le bain savon scrub

    I have been asked a lot lately about preservatives and whether or not we use them. The short answer is no, we do not use preservatives in any of our products. But this has nothing to do with feeling they are unsafe and everything to do with the fact that we have chosen to make products that do not require a preservative to stay fresh and germ free.

    Any product that has water in it (like lotions) or...
