I began using Valerie’s products a number of years ago. I had returned from a trip overseas to countries where clean, pure, natural hard milled soaps are the norm rather than the exception. I wanted to continue using that type of product and my search brought me to Valerie’s Colorado Real Soap Company. I began with the Olive Bar Soaps- Pine Drop and Wild Forest and then expanded to other varieties. The quality of all these is first rate. They have great bouquets, lather well, while cleaning and protecting your skin. One product I’m particularly fond of is the Perfection Scrub for hand and body. This product is infused with Wild Yarrow, Mango Butter, sugar and salt. In this current era of constant washing, I usually finish my hand washing with this product which provided moisture and softness to otherwise dry and damaged skin. Another excellent product is called Pine Pitch Save, which can be applied directly to problem skin areas with excellent results. In some minor surgeries I’ve had, I’ve used it to promote healing of the area of the surgery. When you use any of Valeries products, you come away with and understanding of her commitment to excellence in the natural promotion of healthy and Properly nourished skin.
