He successfully treated it with lavender oil and began a lifelong study of essential oils.

CanadaGreat smelling and refreshing

CanadaFacial cleaner
Great products, I would definitely recommend. My go to for daily cleaner.
CanadaWorking Outside Dirty All The Time. Keeps My Face From Breaking Out.
Been using this for a while now and it's keeps my face from breaking out very well. I work outside in a vineyard, in marine yards, with machinery, and eventually on hydro poles, this really helps with cleaning my face of all the debris and such that I get exposed to. The design of the dispenser is a little finicky, I've had difficulty trying to get the dispenser to unlock from it's shipping state occasionally. Otherwise, the product itself is great, I'm a regular buyer.
CanadaFace Wash
I was gifted this product last year and absolutely fell in love with it. I have naturally oily skin and this stuff really helps. Great scent too!

Feedback on Cleanse - Tea Tree + Aloe
Love it! Purchased for my teen daughters, who are having some issues with blemishes. Much improvement already! I had to explain to them them that it wasn't ONLY for men. I am also a true believer in your Rosey Cheeks facial cream, which is why I thought to come to you again.
