“LOVE these products and will eventually replace all of my skin care with Soothing Herbals. Great customer service! I am trying out the Triple C salve; after one application, areas of very dry skin due to chemo are feeling so soothed! Also can’t wait for cold weather – I bought two yummy lip balms. Go Chin – you and your products ROCK! THANX!
p.s. No one else makes baby powder that feels so wonderful because of the added Calendula and Chamomille healing properties.”
-Diane K, 2007

“The Exotic Cream is the BEST I have ever used, smelled, encountered and other…
It helps just about any chapped or chafing problem.
Already you know the value of Heal All Salve and I have used it extensively to soothe my surface varicosities that inflame periodically…
Thank you for being so true to nature, your products and customers.”
Jane Parker, Forest, VA 2007

“I just wanted you to know that I am so enjoying the wonderful products that I ordered from you. I absolutely love the Calendula & Chamomile cream. I have also enjoyed the facial scrub. Not only do your products work so well, but you have the prettiest web site that I have seen (not to mention how nice your packaging is). I am so glad I found your website. Thanks again.”
-Melissa B, 2007

“ We are so fortunate to have in our mist an herbalist as creative, skilled and caring as you. Your cremes and salves are the BEST.”
-Judy Klein, Staunton, VA 2007

“Your products are wonderful! My newborn Miles (now 4 months), just contracted a lovely case of the stomach flu. Needless to say, we are changing diapers way too often and his bottom started to get sensitive. When this happened with Julian and no cream worked (Desitin, Butt Paste, Tripple Paste and on and on), finally my mom gave me your salve and low and behold his bottom was as perfect as the day he was born. I put your creams on and he cooed and any sign of the rash is gone! I have been using your creams on his skin regularly and the pediatrician commented that Miles had the most beautiful skin!

Thanks again and warm wishes to you and your family (who I understand only use their mommies creams. Could you blame them?)”

“Gorgeous foot cream, both the texture and the soothing scent. And it really softens and smooths my rough heels and callouses. I keep mine on my bedside table for a relaxing bedtime foot (and nose!) treat.”
-Julie P, Staunton, VA 2006 on Lavender Peppermint Foot Creme

“It’s a must-have product during pregnancy and while nursing. Using it on a daily basis, I’ve avoided stretch marks and kept my skin so smooth and elastic…And the smell is really yummy, too!”
-Carina N, Alexandria, VA 2006 on Mama’s Belly Butter

“Yummy! I love this face creme. It smells wonderful and natural—not fragrance-heavy, just mildly fruity (must be the mango butter) and really wonderful.
It feels great going on, and takes a while to soak into my skin. As a moisturizer under make-up, a little bit goes a long way.
I use it for my hands as well. It feels extra good when they get dried out after I have been digging in the garden.”
-Molly C, Charlottesville, VA 2006 on Divine Face Creme

“I was given a gift basket of your products for my birthday this summer, and I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. But, most recently, I really fell in love with the Bug Off Spray. We were visiting our daughter in the Tongan Islands in the South Pacific where she is serving in the Peace Corps. Bugs of many varieties are a major problem there, especially as they approach their summer season. I took my Bug Off with me and it was a life-saver. Unlike most insect repellents, yours was not greasy and did not make you feel “dirty” with it on… more to the point, it smells great and was a good moisturizer…. and it works! I not only want more for myself, but I want to send some to my daughter and her Peace Corps friends. Congratulations on your creative applications of your knowledge and talents!”

“ I love the rich, nutty aroma of the Heal All Salve and I use it year round, on my lips, legs and I even hide it from my husband so I have it all to myself. Thanks Chin!”
- Maureen Duffy, Massage Therapist, Phaladelphia, Pennsylvanina

“We LOVE Soothing Herbals™ Baby Balm!! On a scale of 1 to 10- the product rates 11. Our son is now 5 months old and we’ve been using the Baby Balm since his birth for several different uses; on his bottom to prevent and heal diaper rash; on his face to heal slight rashes from drooling and chapping from the winter months; on cuts from his sharp little finger nails; and all over his face and body as a moisturizer. We have tried several different products, such as drugstore diaper ointments and natural baby balm from several companies, and were dissatisfied with the smells and textures of the other products, especially those containing zinc-oxide. Soothing Herbals™ Baby Balm smells calming with its sweet almond oil, chamomile and lavender flowers. We’ll never use anything else!”
-Cecilia & Tim Walker, Boston, Massachusetts

“I think the Lovely Lavender Cream is great, especially for someone with very dry skin, like me. I know how hard it is to find a good cream that actually works for dry skin, without having to constantly reapply it. The essence used in it reminds me of a refreshing, wild herb. Thanks!”
-Stephanie Alton, Photographer/Cinematographer, Anchorage, Alaska

“Chin’s lotions are the BEST I’ve ever used. All natural, You can feel the love she puts in each batch. I wouldn’t have made it through Colorado winter without them.”
-Rachelle Johnson, Business Owner, Boulder, Colorado

“Living in Alaska the air is incredibly dry! I use the Heal All Salve for an all over body moisturizer. There is nothing else that works as well with my skin. I love it.”
-Michelle Oneil, Massage Therapist, Leavenworth, Washington
