Valerie's products are amazing. I use them because they feel clean and fresh, smell great and work so well. My husband uses them because he has SUPER sensitive skin that gets bothered with every kind of soap and lotion EXCEPT Valerie's products. Valerie is so knowledgable and passionate and puts so much effort into making these artisanal cremes, soaps, lotions and potions that I think mostly come from the mountains and woods in Colorado, and each product feels very special to all my senses. I especially love the scents, they take me out of NYC and into Valerie's beautiful hometown, CRESTED BUTTE. The packaging is also fantastic and I love giving these products as gifts.
