In 2002, I made soap for Christmas gifts for my friends and family. My sister took some bars to a friend with a spa store, the store owner loved them, and things took off from there. I am a chemist by training, and after working for 25 years in the field of environmental chemistry I discovered an even more enjoyable form of chemistry in my own kitchen. It was a natural progression to making natural handmade bath and body care products without synthetic chemicals. I found that it is the perfect blend of my chemistry training, my love of handcrafting, and my environmental ethics.
I have since retired from my chemistry career, and I no longer make the products in my kitchen. We built a new house in 2005 with a wonderful shop area where I create all of my Bunny's Bath products. I have researched ingredients, chosen oils with the most exceptional skin care properties, sought the highest quality ingredients, and continually tested and refined recipes to produce the best possible products.
The philosophy for my products is to keep the formulations pure and simple. I only add ingredients that you need to gently care for your skin, and I leave out synthetic chemicals. I use oils that inherently have beneficial skin care properties and that absorb well to reduce greasiness. I also avoid synthetic preservatives. Products such as lotions and creams that contain water are preserved with grapefruit seed extract, which is a citrus-based anti-microbial. I add rosemary extract to extend the shelf-life of the oils, and I recently began adding potassium sorbate for protection against yeast and molds. Potassium sorbate is a naturally occurring fatty acid found in mountain laurel ash, and it is widely used in foods.
My goals at Bunny's Bath are quality, customer service, and continuous improvement. I never skimp on the ingredients or the service. As the Boss Bunny and Chief Chemist, I personally handcraft everything from the finest quality natural ingredients. I pride myself on outstanding customer service, and I consistently hear two themes from customers - high quality products that feel great on the skin and good value. I believe you too will love Bunny's products, but if you aren't satisfied for any reason just let me know and I will make it right. Period. And if you like the products, I'd love to hear that too. Feedback from customers helps me continuously improve my products, and I love ideas about new products that customers would like to see.
