Our Ingredients

"Earth's elements of air, earth, fire, water and spirit provide for all our needs in life. We look to nature as the source for gentle, effective products for your skin. Elemental ingredients - oils, flowers, fruit, leaves, roots, minerals and water - are carefully selected and infused with our spirit - in the form of love for what we do and our sincere intention for you and your health to be enriched by the use of our natural skin products." - Lynn Cummings, Soap Artisan

Inspired by nature. Chosen with care.

At Earth Elementals, we believe beautiful products begin with thoughtfully chosen ingredients.

Since 2007, we've been handcrafting natural bath, body and home products in small batches, bringing together traditional soapmaking techniques, botanical ingredients good for the skin and a genuine love of nature.

From nourishing plant oils and butters to aromatic essential oils and botanicals, we carefully select ingredients for their quality and purpose in each formulation.

Transparency matters to us. That's why we share our ingredients lists, so you can feel informed and confident about the products you choose.

Social Responsibility

We believe that the choices we make as a small business matter. From the ingredients we select to the suppliers we work with, we strive to make thoughtful, responsible decisions that reflect our respect for people, animals and the natural world.

We carefully source our ingredients from trusted suppliers, choosing certified organic options where possible and supporting Canadian businesses whenever we can.

Our commitment to quality goes beyond the finished product. It's about being mindful of where our ingredients come from and the impact of the choices we make.

Palm Oil

We recognize the environmental concerns surrounding palm oil production, particularly its impact on forests, wildlife and local communities.

Rather than eliminating palm oil from our traditional soap formulations, we have chosen to be mindful of its sourcing.

We purchase our palm oil from suppliers who support RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil), an organization working to promote more responsible palm oil production.

We believe that supporting efforts toward better sourcing practices is an important part of making thoughtful ingredient choices.

Herbs and Botanicals

Our love of plants has always been at the heart of Earth Elementals. We grow, gather and carefully dry many of the herbs and botanicals used in our artisan crafted products. Grown without the use of herbicides and pesticides, these plants bring a special connection to nature and to the products we create.

From our gardens to our studio, working with botanicals is one of the many ways we bring nature into our every day creations.

Essential Oils

We love the beautiful natural aromas that essential oils bring to our products.

Extracted from flowers, leaves, roots, woods and other plant materials, essential oils offer a wonderful variety of fragrances. From fresh and uplifting citrus to calming floral and earthy botanical notes.

We carefully select quality essential oils to create the distinctive aromatic blends found throughout our bath and body collections.

For us, fragrance is an important part of the experience. It's a simple way to bring a little enjoyment and a connection to nature into everyday routines.

Committed to Environment

Our appreciation for nature extends beyond the ingredients we use. As a small family owned business, we believe in making thoughtful choices that help us reduce unnecessary waste and use resources responsibly.

In Our Studio

We incorporate environmentally conscious practices into our everyday work, including:

Composting and recycling whenever possible.
Reusing boxes and packing materials for shipments.
Using energy efficient lighting and appliances.
Conserving water, including collecting rainwater for use in our gardens during the growing season.

Our Packaging

We thoughtfully consider the packaging used throughout our product line.

Our soap boxes are made of recyclable cardboard, and we use a combination of glass and PET bottles and jars for our products.

We continue to explore practical packaging choices that balance product quality, functionality and our desire to reduce unnecessary waste.

Our Products

We favour plant derived ingredients in many of our formulations and take care in choosing materials suited to each product's purpose.

Our goal is to create beautiful, thoughtfully handcrafted products while continuing to make responsible choices wherever possible.

No Animal Testing

Our love and respect for animals is an important part of who we are at Earth Elementals.

We do not test our finished products on animals or commission animal testing on our behalf. Instead, we evaluate our products through careful formulation and feedback from human volunteers.

We also consider animal testing practices when choosing our ingredient suppliers.

Many of our products are vegan friendly, while some contain ingredients such as beeswax or honey. We believe in being transparent about these choices so our customers can select products that align with their preferences.

Creating products with care and compassion has always been important to use, and that commitment continues to guide our work.
