About Batty's Bath:
Each product that Batty’s Bath offers was made with a purpose. Long before Jamie was ever selling her creations under the name “Batty’s Bath”, she was making bath and skin care products for herself and her fiancé to address the needs of their own skin issues; severely sensitive skin for Drew, and a long term battle with acne for Jamie.
It all started when Jamie’s fiancé had a sever reaction to a handmade soap purchased at a craft fair Jamie was a vendor at. From then on, Jamie was determined to make high quality handmade products that were not only safe for sensitive skin, but were actually beneficial! Soon Jamie had made a line of skin care products that had finally cleared up her acne riddled skin, a line of soaps that satisfied even the most sensitive of skin, and a line of hair care products that nurtured and cleansed without stripping the hair of it’s natural oils. Friends and family members of Jamie where enjoying her handmade delights, and were quickly converting all the products in their showers and baths to “Jamie’s”. After several years, word of mouth had spread about Jamie’s products and Jamie was starting to realize that keep up with all the requests for her handmade bath & body products, wasn’t something she could do as a hobby anymore! With 2 chronic illnesses to manage, and a full time job, something had to give. Early in 2009, Jamie and her fiancé decided it was time to turn Jamie’s hobby into a full fledge business under the name “Batty’s Bath”. They converted one of the spare bedrooms into a studio and took almost a year to be ready to fully launch. During this time Batty’s Bath formulas were approved by Health Canada, and Jamie made the switch from full time work outside the home, to working from home and finding ways to better manage her health.
In middle of February 2010, Batty’s Bath officially opened its virtual doors online at BattysBath.com and
BattysBath.etsy.com. By March of 2010, Jamie was fully immersed in the craft show circuit, and was offering home parties by May 2010. In the summer of 2010, Weezi, a local fashion studio, started carrying Batty’s Bath. Soon after, Weezi started hosting an event celebrating women in handmade business every 5 weeks or so called “Beehives, Bubbles, and Bows” with Batty’s Bath and Scissor Kitty as the special guests.
Since the start of Jamie’s obsession with creating bath & body products, the care and devotion to skin loving products hasn’t changed. Jamie still makes everything in small batches with an emphasis on the comfort and well-being of each and every person who uses her products. Customers aren’t just customers to Jamie, they are like the friends and family who enjoyed her bath & body creations for years before she opened Batty’s Bath. Jamie still looks to her supporters for their honest feedback – one of the things that helped Jamie perfect her formulas from the start.
Jamie sees her little business as more than just a resource to pamper the people you love with luxury bath products. She also sees it as a way to embrace her tree hugging and humanitarian ways by picking only the finest, local, free trade compliant, eco-friendly/sustainable, and cruelty free ingredients. Jamie takes her efforts a few steps further by also running a recycling program, and packaging orders in reusable, eco friendly cloth drawstring bags.
Each day Jamie feels extremely blessed to be able to offer simple, practical luxury that everyone can indulge in. She’s also eternality grateful for all those who have supported, and continue to support, her and her soapy adventures. It’s because of her supporters that she’s able to feel a sense of accomplishment - particularly because she’s able to contribute to her family despite chronic pain, fatigue, and complications.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting my creative spirit soar! It’s because of your support that I’m able to embrace all that this world has to offer and share my happiness with those around me!”
–Jamie Sabot

About Batty's Oils
Batty's Bath uses 3 different types of oils to scent our products.
They include: Essential Oils, Natural Fragrance Oils, Phthatlate Free Fragrance Oils
❤ Essential Oils
Essential Oils are 100% natural and are extracted from plants, flowers, leaves, roots, barks, resins and rinds of some fruits. The Essential Oils used in Batty's Bath products are therapeutic grade, 100% vegan, and are free of any synthetic compounds.
❤ Natural Fragrance Oils
Natural Fragrance Oils are blended from essential oils, but because they are not guaranteed to be 100% essential oil they are called natural fragrance oils. These oils are completely natural and contain no synthetic compounds, alcohols or animal byproducts.
❤ Phthalate Free Fragrance Oils
These fragrances are synthetic and are specifically designed for cosmetic use. Like the essential oils and natural fragrance oils, these oils are free of phthalates, parabens, sulfates, chemical sunscreens, petrochemicals, glycols, formaldehyde donors, PEG's or PPG's, DEA/TEA, 1,4 dioxanes and other contaminates

About Batty...
My name is Jamie and I'm a star-gazing, animal-loving, tree-hugging, halloween obsessed, creative kind of gal. I am also a small business owner, avid crafter, and fiance to my soul mate.
My passions include creative expression, animal welfare, and psychology. I am currently finishing a Bachelors Degree in Psychology with a minor in Visual Arts. I have also studied Fine Art and Animal Care at college. As you can see, continuous learning is a force that drives me. You could say I am an information junkie!
My favorite creative outlets include (but aren't limited to) photography, crafts (paper, candle making, etc), printmaking, sculpture and soap making!
I devote a lot of time to my rescue animals - I have 3 dogs (my fuzzy babies) and a turtle. They, along with the love of my life, often steal my attention away from other tasks (but I don't mind).
I hope you're finding a way to be creative, or support creativity each and everyday. Take care,
-Jamie
