On Park City TV's "Mountain Morning Show"!

Here we are talking to the nice peeps in and around Park City about our products. We had such a blast! The crew loved us (we gave them free bars, mind you) and they kept saying their studio smelled sooo good! We were honored to be on the show and can't wait to come back.

Remember to watch all the way through for a very special surprise ;-)

The Calantha Organics Boutique

This month has been a joyous one for our family. Not only did Annie graduate from college, but we've also opened Park City, UT's newest (and only) all-natural organic soap boutique.



You can find the boutique at 6436 N. Business Park Loop Road, Suite D (84098). And feel free to check out more pictures from our Facebook page.


Not only does our boutique feature individual bars of our soap, but also adorable gift ideas inspired by none other than our soaps and our customers' suggestions.


In addition, we're also working on developing a Calantha Organics Vendor Program through which those interested can feature our offerings on their own establishments, so stay tuned for updates on it. We're very excited!

Customer Love - "I love the wood!"

I couldn't resist and bought all four varieties. The wood one reminds me of a fragrance I bout in France that I had NOT been able to find in the US for so long! I love them all so much, I sometimes go into my bathroom just to smell them.

Customer Love - "Great for my hair!"

I love the soaps! Especially the citrus one. It smells really good! I've been using it to wash my hair as well. It's amazing how good my hair looks since I started using it.

- Diane from Berwyn, IL

Customer Love - "I Want More!"

I am just down to a little sliver of your soap and it has been perfect! It is the best thing I have ever used on my face and I would just love to have more!

"Musing Mainiac" Wants Y'all To Try Our Soap!

Update: This contest's winner has since been announced and we were beyond thrilled to reward her with one of our products.

How's this for amazingness?

Turns out MusingMainiac, a site by Maine-based Beth, just published its review of one of our soaps and she LOVED it!

It actually kind of reminds me of going camping in Maine after a rain storm.  I found the Leafy Green Face &  Body Bar to be completely refreshing and earthy, a great way to start off my day! My skin felt clean and soft after my shower too!

In fact, she loved it so much, she suggested we held a contest. So from now until Feb 12, you will have the chance to win our yummy Citrus Face & Body Bar! All you have to do is send MusingMainiac a blurb about what you learned from visiting our site (yes, this one!).


For more info, check out her full review (by clicking on the quote).


Good luck --and thanks, Beth, for the love!

Yay!

Let's NOT Merely Take What We Can Get!

I was watching the Today Show this morning (duty calls, after all) and came across this Beauty/Skin Care segment that featured, well, the newest and latest on beauty products for the coming year. Obviously, my ears perked up and I listened with special care at this clip:

As the clip was ending, I focused on the following:

Morales: "... Not organics, but just better for you." (regarding the seemingly beneficial ingredients big-name makeup manufacturers are introducing in their products)
Guest: "We take what we can get."

Naturally (no pun intended), I was appalled by the guest's response. Do we not deserve organic, real, non-chemical, skin care? I'll abstain from inserting a sales pitch within these lines, but seriously: Why go for the cheap brand when you can find a fundamentally BETTER (be it all-natural and/or organic, etc) brand that will only feed your skin the goodness it deserves and not the more readily available chemical crap? Ugh.


So, if you're reading this, it means you showed an interest for Calantha Organics. (Thank you; it means a lot!) And you may have also noticed we don't sell makeup--yet (bummer, right?) :( But as of January 2011, we do feature the purest, all-natural organic-aromatherapy-all-vegetable (I could go on) soaps in the world. 


So think of us as the best-soap people for now. And please invest in what you put on your skin-- lotions, makeup, after-shave, etc. Not only does your body deserve it, but our environment needs it (after all, what goes down the drain should also be beneficial and not laden with synthetic substances).


So that's my two cents for now. Be smart and more considerate of your own needs this new year. Think about why those big brands abstain from investing in wholly good, premium-quality products foryou. At Calantha Organics, we already are because we CARE, thank you very much :-) (And it is because we care that we'll continue on introducing naturally wholesome products that exceed your and your family's expectations.)

Customer Love - "Dry Skin"

I am very impressed with these soaps. I have been using them for a couple months now and they work well on my dry skin. I will definitely continue to use them.

This is a good article by Britain’s Professional Beauty. In it, the author writes about market researcher Datamonitor’s latest study, which reveals that despite the near exponential growth of this industry, some consumers are still unsure of its products; they wonder whether the ingredients used by makers of natural personal-care products are truly efficacious. Most importantly, they disfavor the high prices that are very common in the industry.


So I must ask the following: Would you rather pay a low price for a toxin-full product with no quality? Or instead paying what a healthful product of very high quality is really worth?
