What makes us different?
For starters...
 
Our recipes are exceptional

We blend herbs, essential oils and skin conditioning formulas  from Eastern European mountain wisdom, midwestern American folklore and our own world travels.

​We devote hours of studio trial and research for each product and distill every nuance into beautifully simple recipes.

We wanted to add 'Love' to our list of ingredients but standards wouldn't allow it.  We use certified organic ingredients--herbs and flowers, vegetables and fruits, sustainable oils and butters and pure essential oils to create products that will nourish your skin and be kind to our planet.

Our studio is a fun, crazy and creative place to work.  There's always something to do.  Our products are all about the ingredients.  We hand blend and cold infuse botanicals and essential oils for our skin care products.  We always work in small batches to ensure freshness, consistency, and perfection. 

It is our practice to use raw materials that are sourced in an environmentally and ethically responsible manner.  

Our palm oil is RSPO certified sustainable by the Rainforest Alliance and we buy organic ingredients whenever possible.

We use no GMO's, no parabens, no BHT, no SLS, no petrolatum, no coal tar, no soybean oil and our products are always gluten free.

We want to hear from you.
​Our growing and evolving customer community spurs the innovation that create new product lines.
​

Waterfall Glen Soap
has pledged
to be
99%
​plastic free
with all
of our packaging.

We have
one
small blue planet
 to share
​and care for.

It’s time to raise the bar.

Six billion tons of unrecycled waste. Where does it go? It’s difficult to estimate how much ends up in the vast depths of our world’s oceans, but conservative estimates are about 10 million tons per year. Much of this plastic is the result of careless littering on land that is in turn blown into the sea.

As a result of all of this non-biodegradable waste, hundreds of ocean species have been adversely affected. Fish nibble on microplastics, while other marine animals are caught in soda rings and discarded fishing lines. The resulting damage from this massive amount of waste could be catastrophic for our oceans.
​
Together, we can make a difference.
