Posted in Vendors on February 29, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

Can you hear the buzz? It’s Bee’s knees bodyworks

Their motto is: Good. Clean. Fun. …

Earth Day Chilliwack 2012 is so happy to showcase this local artisan Trish. She is making some handcrafted lotions, soaps and lip balms using natural ingredients and also packages her products in recyclable containers! Yeah!!! I am so happy to welcome Trish and her “bee’s” to our garden celebrations, the more bees the merrier;) Yipee!!! Did you know your skin is the largest organ you have? Yup it’s true and so it makes perfect sense to protect it and use nothing but the best! Natural products are not only good for yourself but great for gifts too;) hmmm I am almost out of lotion myself:) did I mention my birthday was coming?

Bee’s knees bodyworks is coming soon to #101 – 45970 Airport Road, Chilliwack!! YAY!!

Good - Every ingredient that we use is of the highest cosmetic grade quality. We carefully choose the most beneficial ingredients for each product, such as shea butter (super moisturizing), calendula oil (healing), chamomile (soothing), aloe vera (healing & soothing), plus vitamins and therapeutic essential oils, using organic whenever possible. Our products are all at least 95% natural.

Clean – We know about ‘eating clean’, not eating over-processed foods, so how about not putting chemicals and over-processed products on the largest organ of our bodies – our skin! Our products are proudly:

  1. ** sulfate free *
  2. ** paraben free *
  3. ** phthalate free *
  4. ** petrochemical free *

Fun – Bathing and caring for your skin should be an enjoyable experience, that’s why we take care in choosing and designing pleasing packaging, using the very best essential and fragrance oils and the best natural ingredients for your pleasure!

Where else can you find Bee’s knees bodyworks, Etsy and here!

Earth Day Chilliwack 2012 is so happy to have you Trish and Bee’s knees bodyworks welcome!!
