Her simple soaps are made with no artificial ingredients or colorings, just extra olive oil and chamomile and calendula flowers that provide anti-inflammatory properties as well as a natural creamy color. Lilac, lavender, rose and patchouli are some of the favorite fragrances that are blended into soaps for different uses and bath salts that relax tired bodies. For those who prefer the absolute basics, she also makes a plain and mild white soap.

Among her other products are natural insect repellants that have a citrus/mint aroma “which I think is better than the Deet® stuff, plus there’s no oily feel on one’s skin,” essential oils, and fragrances. A resident of Mountain View, Sue has extensive herb and flower gardens that supply her with many of the natural ingredients she needs.
