Wildrose Magnolia is an amazing organic, eco conscious skincare line out of Toronto and it is my new favorite line!  I’m not just saying that because the most popular product, Kevin Drew’s Tequila Lime Body Butter, has a really catchy jingle and music video made by Kevin Drew himself(of Broken Social Scene, Arts & Crafts label founder and more).  The song makes me think about being on a tropical vacation, especially when the steel drums kick in and the scent of the body butter is so beach like. The body butter melts into yours skin and truly is….like buttah(ask Linda Richman would say)!  They also donate $1 of proceeds from this product to the Environmental Defence Canada.

Susannah Spearin, the mastermind and crafter behind this luxurious line, is a regulated healthcare professional and registered massage therapist. She has been in this industry for over two decades in the Toronto area. She first started making hand made soaps made without dyes or harmful ingredients. Soon after, she started working hard crafting her line of skincare and cosmetics(even some for men) in her lab. When she launched the line, it was such a top notch company, you can tell she took great care and love developing this entire concept. Every little detail down to the beautiful and simple packaging is so well thought out. She even has recycled shredded paper in the boxes she ships as well to reduce the imprint.

Another other wonderful thing about the line is since a lot of her friends/family(her husband included) are musicans(read more here), some have contributions to the line. For example the body butter mentioned above as well as another one of the body butters has a poem on the label by Molly Sarle(singer/songwriter/poet who’s in indie folk songbird trio, Mountain Man).

When I talked to Susannah about her new line I was so excited because I have transitioned this year to completely non toxic skincare, haircare, makeup etc and was looking for some new products to replace my old drugstore products that were toxin,dye, paraben, sulfate filled and I can go on and on…but you can read more PHG blogs to find out).

I couldn’t have been more excited when this package arrived. My husband can tell you I was like a kid in the candy shop…..I think he said something like, “ok ok it’s the body butter”. Lol!

This face cream is just like a dream, it has such a pleasant smell that I find myself in a dream state just taking in the aromas of all the lovely natural oils: raw coconut, avocado oil, argan, sunflower, cherry kernel,lavender, black cumin seed oil, calendula oil, carrotseed oil, vitamin E oil and blue tansy(I had to look that one up and it apparently is good for itchy skin and is a muscle relaxer which has to be a good thing)with cocoa and Shea butters.

It literally melted in my hands as I took it out of the jar to rub into my face.  It’s scent is making me smile as I rub into my skin.  My skin has such a wonderful glow afterwards too. I can really feel the benefits of this right away and if you use this on a daily basis you will certainly see the effects(I use it at night after taking my makeup off and washing my face with their Facial Soap with Magnolia Bark and Carrot Seed which I love, it is so nourishing and cleanses without causes breakouts)!

Wildrose Magnolia will have a booth(along with other local designers and artists) at this year’s Field Trip festival in Toronto at Ft. York in the Etsy Marketplace. They will be a household name before you know it with these great business ethics!

Later this week, I will be posting a blog and photos on WM’s wonderful cosmetics…..stay tuned!!
