Oooh! Our blog is actually located elsewhere...

Just the Goods is a Winnipeg-based producer of handmade natural and affordable skin care products for everyone. We are Champion Status members of the Compact for Safe Cosmetics and we promise to always retain our commitment to that agreement!

Every day indulgences shouldn’t cost the earth or our health. It is affordable to look and feel great without unnecessary exposure to petrochemicals, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and artificial fragrances, dyes and flavours. Everything we make features “just the goods” and nothing else. All items are made without animal-derived ingredients with one exception, which is that we offer two types of lip balm — one is vegan, and the other includes beeswax and lanolin.

And what’s the point of wasteful packaging, anyway? Most of our products come in re-useable canning jars and the price for these items includes a $1.00 refundable deposit that you can use toward your next purchase.

To facilitate shipping and to support different types of products (i.e. lotions, toners, lip balm, etc.) we also offer products in re-useable HDPE plastic bottles, which is considered one of the safest forms of plastics.
Since we’re small and local, we’re happy to offer custom blending services. Do you have a unique fragrance or flavour combination in mind? Ask us about it — we’ll see what we can do!

IMPORTANT PRODUCT NOTES


All Just the Goods skin care products are produced without:

* Petro-Chemicals
* Phthalates
* Parabens
* Sulfates
* Artificial preservatives
* Synthetic fragrances
* Dyes or colourants of any kind (… we just don’t see the point)

Just the Good’s all natural skin care products have been tested extensively by us and our friends — some of whom are, admittedly, party animals — but we still ask that you use the same precautions you would with any other new skin care product.

All products are for external use only. Please read ingredient labels carefully and thoroughly if you have any allergy concerns or sensitivities. If redness, rash or irritation occurs, immediately discontinue use of product and/or consult your physician.

Please note that some essential oils can be quite potent and, even in small quantities, it is often recommended they be avoided by children and during pregnancy, particularly during the first trimester.
If you have any questions about any of our products, please ask! We’re more than happy to help!


ADDITIONAL COMMENT

Since we are a small company buying raw materials in limited quantities, our purchasing is affected by variations in the market place. As such, we appreciate your understanding that our prices are subject to change without notice. Thanks!
