a preview of the Dot & Lil ingredient glossary: a glamorous look at emulsifying wax!
June 14, 2011 bypar Dot and Lil
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 was reminded today by this blog post by Seth Godin(wh...

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...
