    coriander essential oil exfoliate exfoliating gravel handcrafted handmade handmade bath and beauty products lemongrass locally made montreal soap

    When I first started making Dot & Lil Coriander & Lemongrass soap, it had a thin line of pieces of whole lemongrass layered into each bar. It was kinda exfoliating...kinda.


    I decided that if it was gonna be kinda exfoliating, it might as well be really exfoliating! So I switched to a finer grind of lemongrass, spread it out throughout the soap, and used more of it. And that, my friends, is when I...

    If you take a close look next time you buy a bar of Dot & Lil Satsuma soap, you'll notice that "Limited Edition" no longer appears on either side of the scent name. That's because, due to popular demand, Dot & Lil Satsuma Soap is here to stay!


    This scent was overwhelmingly popular this holiday season. Not only that but I am also personally kinda obsessed with it, as mentioned in a few prior posts....

    Dot & Lil, as lovely as they are, don't actually do anything around here except sit around and be glamorous and lend their names to the company. So it's nice when, at crazy times of year like this where production seems never ending, the real people who love me step in to help. My friend Genia has been sitting next to me wrapping honeysuckle soap for the last 5 hours. She has offered to come back...

I have been cooped up making soap and listening to cheesy music since Friday. Unfortunately, I have to get back to the real world tomorrow morning. But I really am loving this return to soaping, to creating, to...

    I have been working on a whipped body butter that will keep all of our dry canadian skin a little happier over the long, cold winter. Something that will moisturize and create a barrier without evaporating too quickly or being too greasy. Shea butter is one of my favorite ingredients to work with and to use. Nothing else is quite like it! It is almost magical in texture, if you ask me. It is soft...

    What have I been up to? Well, I am in the process of remodeling a work space for Dot & Lil. As much as I have loved having my home be the center of the Dot & Lil universe (I mean, who doesn'twant to climb over boxes of soap supplies to get into bed?), it is definitely the right time to make a move. I think a little bit of work/home separation will make me more productive and more focused over all....

    Part of the original concept for Dot & Lil was that it should be a sustainable business. Minimizing our carbon footprint is one of the key operating standards of this company. I wanted to tell you all a little bit about how we are sustainable. There are also some areas where we could be greener and where we are searching for new solutions.

    I literally turn into a small child waiting to be allowed into a toy store when I am expecting a UPS delivery of fragrances and soap making supplies. I try to be all calm and collected and rational---and then give up and check my tracking number every 2.4 minutes until the doorbell rings.

    What I'm up to:

Kids love it for it's bright, eye catching color and it's round shape is great for little hands. You can enjoy summer all winter long!
