Natural soaps & skincare products. Good for you, good for the planet.
Botany Barn was born when a pair of sisters fresh out of grad school conveniently found themselves to be unemployed at the same time. The time was ripe to fulfill that longtime dream of opening an Etsy shop!
We had been making balms, butters, and other skincare products for years, and had more recently fallen in love with the art of soapmaking... And so it began!
My name is Sam and I run Botany Barn Canada. Inspired by a love of nature & food, I create eco-friendly products that are good for both you and the environment. That means sourcing organic & sustainable ingredients, no artificial fragrance oils, no palm oil, and no excessive packaging. All of my products are handcrafted in small batches to ensure freshness, using 100% natural ingredients like clays, botanicals, vegetables, and other things you might find in your own kitchen or garden.
I take pride in crafting my products with Baraka Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter, handmade by hardworking women and families in Northern Ghana. Pure, natural, unrefined and FairTrade Organic.
I source organic oils whenever possible to ensure you are receiving products that are free of chemical pesticides that are produced through sustainable practices. I also grow or locally source many of the herbs & botanicals used in my soaps. I do my best to minimize waste, such as the use of recycled materials, minimal packaging, and rebatched soap. If you receive an order packed with "air cushions" or biodegradable packaging peanuts - these are being reused from my supply orders to safely ship products to you :)
Botany Barn is committed to bringing you high quality, sustainable products that are both gentle on the skin and on the planet. Thank you so much for visiting my shop!
