Using locally sourced rose petals, rosehips, cranberries and black spruce needles, as well as organic botanicals found in and around the salt marshes of the eastern shore of Nova Scotia, the collection includes bath bombs, scrubs, hydrosols (aromatherapy sprays), soap and lip balm. Products do not contain artificial additives, synthetic fragrances or sulphates, and (when available) use 100 percent organic oats as well as palm and coconut oils. Quantities are limited to the availability of regionally and seasonally harvested ingredients.

Our pick: Medicinal Floral Body Powder, with organic dried flowers, can be used as a deodorant, foot powder and for baby’s diaper rash. ($14, 4 oz; find it at saltmarshsisters.ca)
