About Us

Separately - We are ....


Stephanie Plaetner

Stephanie was raised in Chauvin, AB, a very small town where the simple life was the good life. Her parents are hard working folk who raised Steph and her two siblings to really appreciate the good things in life. Steph and her husband, Lars, have three boys - Cohen, Isaac and Dylan and live on a beautiful acreage where they have the space to let them roam. Natural and toxin-free soaps and skin care was born out of the need to heal her son, who suffered from eczema and allergies that only seemed to get worse under the usual compliment of prescription drugs. After eliminating chemicals, toxins and other irritants from their life, Cohen’s skin healed, and he started to thrive.

Shawna Benson

Shawna was born and raised in Endiang – on a farm where her roots are still firmly planted. The hills of Endiang provided hours and hours of uninhibited discovery for her brother and herself. Her and her husband Darren now live in Erskine, on their little piece of paradise, and are raising twin boys – Cameron & Carter – completely embracing the wild that comes with children. The move to a more toxin-free lifestyle was a natural progression, an unsatisfied desire to keep my boys safe from unnecessary toxins in the products we use every day – and to keep our lives simple. Pure. Off the farm.
