Superior quality natural skin care and soaps
Our handmade products are often made in small batches, with special attention paid to ingredient quality. They use natural and organic components, avoiding the harmful chemicals found in many commercial products.
Choosing natural options is also a way to begin a more eco-conscious approach, while choosing better options for yourself.
Free from harsh chemicals
Our handmade products are free from parabens, sulfates such as SLS, and other synthetic ingredients that can irritate the skin or have unwanted long-term effects. Our skin care products and natural soaps never contain ingredients derived from petroleum chemistry.
Giving yourself a gift also means giving yourself a little more care. The largest organ of the human body is our skin, and it deserves attention — especially when it comes to knowing what we apply to it.
Respect for the environment
We prioritize sustainable practices as much as possible, using eco-conscious ingredients and minimalist packaging, helping reduce the environmental footprint and contributing to the preservation of the planet. We encourage recycling and work to reduce our ecological impact. Our skin care and household products use minimal packaging and are labelled with recycled-fibre paper.
Our customers may receive their order in a reused box from our home or from one of our suppliers. This also helps us keep product and shipping costs lower. We also offer our customers carbon-neutral shipping at no additional cost.
Personalization and dedicated care
We put special care into making every product. Each soap, body product and even household product is made one by one. We are a very small team, and we maintain control over our methods, our production process and the origin of our raw materials. Each product is made by us, and our skin care products are tested by our family and close friends before being offered for sale.
Transparency and traceability
Like many other small-batch makers, we offer transparency about our production methods and the sources of our ingredients, allowing our customers to know exactly what they are applying to their skin. We source our raw materials from local and Quebec suppliers. When ingredients are not available in Quebec, we turn to other Canadian suppliers. Yes, this may be reflected in the retail price, but it is a conscious choice.
Ethics and social responsibility
Our handmade products are made cruelty-free and support fair business practices. By choosing our products, you are also supporting small local businesses and the local economy.
Ethics guide our actions through principles of transparency, integrity and respect for our customers and the environment.
A unique sensory experience
Handmade skin care products offer an enriched sensory experience. The textures, natural aromas and comforting benefits of botanical ingredients add a sense of well-being and pleasure to a personal care routine.
The La Sultana promise for natural skin care and soaps
Never
Our products NEVER contain artificial colourants, detergents, parabens, petroleum-derived surfactants or unnecessary preservatives.
Rarely
Our products RARELY contain micas, essential oils or fragrances, because we do not like sending precious oils down the drain — and we do not like headaches either!
Always
Our products ALWAYS contain eco-conscious, ethical, organic ingredients whenever possible, and a lot of love. We aim to find a balance between sustainable development and fair pricing so that everyone can access quality products. We are members of the Handcrafted Bath & Body Guild and our products are declared to Health Canada.
Choosing handmade body care and soaps is a conscious choice for your health, your well-being and the environment. As a mother, I care deeply about leaving my child a gentler, cleaner future. I do not believe in extremes or drastic changes — I believe in balance. It is difficult to change everything overnight, and we all have to work with the resources we have. My routine and lifestyle are not entirely natural or eco-friendly, and I know I would not be able to make them perfect. For me, that would become too heavy a mental load. However, I am convinced that every small effort matters. I also believe happiness lies in conscious choices that make us feel good and align with our personal values.
