Thank You Atlin!

Just back from the Atlin music festival. Due to the popularity of our Atlin special edition "Yukon Hippy Hemp Lotion" -  I'll be whipping up some more. If you came by the booth today or last night asking for it and I didn't have any left   - I'll have some on the shelves at the Yukon Made Store in the next couple of weeks (I'll post here when it is there :) . I'll also add it to our online store if you live outside of Whitehorse and would like it shipped to you.

This site and our facebook page will be updated this week so please check back soon if you are looking for more information on products or want to buy online. If you like our products please give us a like on our facebook fan page (link on the side of this page)... We had a great time in Atlin - thank you for stopping by and giving us feed back on "Bugger off Bug Spray & Yukon Hippy Hemp Lotion - thumbs up! - and for your product suggestions. I made a list of requested items will be working on developing some of them later this month.

Thank you Atlin we had a great time!

Fireweed Market - In the Cooler!

Just a note to anyone who buys from the Fireweed market store. Our deodorant and toothpaste have been moved to the cooler for the summer months. The reason for this is that our deodorant and toothpaste use coconut butter as a base and are all natural with no artificial preservatives or stabilizers. Coconut butter melts at body temp so please try to keep out of the sun for the trip home :) If your deodorant or toothpaste does melt (it shouldn't unless it gets warmer than room temp there is cacao butter as a stabilizer in our deodorant which gives it a higher melting point) just pop it in the fridge to allow it to reset. These products will stay fresh for up to 6 months.
All our products are made fresh in small batches with no artificial ingredients most products will last for 6 months some for over a year.

We will be at the Atlin Music Fest next month. We'll be booth sharing with Cabin Crafts - lots of goodies. Hope to see you there!

Essential Oils

I've had a few questions from expectant mothers regarding the essential oils used in our products below is a list EOs we commonly use that should be avoided if pregnant because their concentrated aroma can cause blood thinning,  uterine cramps and contractions:
  • Clary sage - used in our Spot Off Oil
  • Sage - Used in our Deodorants
  • Clove - our toothpaste (but in small amounts)
  • Fennel - toothpaste (again in small amounts)
  • Juniper - our conditioner
  • Lemongrass - Bugger Off Bug Away Spray
  • Myrrh - toothpaste (small amounts)
  • Peppermint - toothpaste and nopoo shampoo, also in our lipbalms, lip glosses & vapo rub
  • Rosemary - Bugger Off Bug Away Spray
* please note all these oils are diluted and not at full strength. We strive to make all our products friendly to those with chemical sensitivities and allergies so no product is heavily scented with essential oils (and we never use chemical "perfume" or "fragrance"oils of any kind) - that said proceed with caution and if you are concerned please don't use these products while pregnant. 

Products to consider if pregnant... Our Rosehip Body Butter (rub on your tummy to help prevent/reduce stretch marks), unscented little healers, tea based lipbalms, mica makeups and chemical free hair spray. Shampoos and Conditioners can be made to order with lavender oil instead of mint or juniper just drop us a line to special order.
