“I discovered ETB on my vacation to Canada. My skin was dry and peeling. After one scrub it was soft and felt well norished. I don't need any cream or lotion immediately after I use the scrub! ”

“I met you at the Cabbagetown Craft Fair last September and that is the first contact I had with your products. I placed an order for your moisturizer in about November, I think, and I started using it then. I also started using the Manitouka salt scrub."
This December, we had a book club meeting and one of the women sitting across from me, looked at my face carefully and said: Have you had.....a facial or something? (I think she meant more than a facial, like maybe a face lift, but she didn't want to say that!)"Your skin looks great!"
