At the Granary we stock locally made Cheeky Bee Candles. Painstakingly handcrafted in Ontario, Canada, Cheeky Bee still crafts using the timeless methods of hand­making each candle. Just as chandler ancestors did 4000 years ago, each candle is hand poured, hand dripped, hand dipped and hand finished.

Most beeswax candles average a 2-5x burn time compared to other leading candle brands. Cheeky Bee candles can have up to a 4,000 hour burn time! Buying a better-quality candle will allow you to get your full money’s worth.

Choose from a wide selection of pillars, tapers, tea lights and votives. Available in booth smooth and textured drip finishes. With all natural hemp wicks these candles burn clean until the very end with proper care.

Most facial cleansers are typically water-based and contain harsh surfactants to strip away excess oil and makeup; however, this can create an imbalance in the natural oils and pH of your skin, which can leave it feeling oily in certain areas or even cause dry irritated patches. Skin Essence organic facial cleansers are balanced with the right ingredients for your specific skin type and can effectively clean your skin without leaving it feeling dry and damaged, while also maintaining a healthy balance for your skin!

After cleansing make sure to complete your skin care routine with your perfect Skin Essence Facial Moisturizer.

Skin Essence Organics was developed more than 20 years ago in Ontario. At that time, the concept of using organic oils & extracts on the skin was relatively unknown. The formulation of these products started by thoroughly studying each ingredient on thousands of people’s skin, observing their individual effects before spending years delicately balancing them to obtain the best possible results.

Skin Essence remains dedicated to producing products locally in small batches to ensure both quality and freshness. All their products are certified organic. Organic certification organizations independently verify every step of the process from farming, handling, manufacturing processes, record keeping, cleaning products, label accuracy, and product packaging. These beautiful skin products meet and exceed the strict requirements for this certification every year, helping people make the healthiest and most beneficial choice for their cosmetics in a virtually unregulated industry.

Benefits of Oil based Moisturizers

The skin naturally produces oils

• Since your body naturally produces oils, it knows how to work with them and is able to absorb them far better than a traditional cream based moisturizer. Using the right oils to hydrate your specific skin type will create a healthy pH balance and oils have the ability to absorb deep into the skin, hydrating around the sebaceous glands (oil producing glands). This deep absorption provides the skin with a complete hydration, which reduces its desire to create excess oil (sebum).
• Certain plant oils also have a small enough molecular structure to efficiently absorb through the epidermis (first layer of our skin), which provides nourishing benefits, as opposed to a traditional cream based moisturizer that would remain on the surface of the skin and is unable to fully absorb.

High in Antioxidants

• Choosing a plant-based oil that is organic, and cold pressed ensures that all of the ingredients used are concentrated, which means that your skin will be able to absorb the beneficial antioxidants and nutrients the plant ingredients provide.

No fillers

• Plant oils are pure without the use of fillers or water! Cream based products typically use fillers (waxes and emulsifiers), or Aqua (water) therefore you end up losing the concentration and nutritional benefits offered by the key ingredients used in the formulation.
• Creams also typically go through a heat process during creation, which can drastically compromise the vitamins, minerals and enzymes naturally found in the plants. Excess heat exposure can change a product that would be great for the skin, to become less effective when heat is involved, because a majority of the healing and nourishing benefits would be diminished.

Customizable

• Unlike a cream that is one consistency, an oil can be exactly what you need depending on your specific skin’s hydration needs. The more oil you use with each application, the richer and more hydrating it is. As an added bonus, you can blend oil-based moisturizers with a couple drops of water if you want lighter hydration!

L-Theanine can have a direct influence on our brains, increasing so-called Alpha Brain Waves, which are only present when we are alert and relaxed. It helps regulate calming neurotransmitters, dopamine, serotonin and GABA – and simultaneously inhibits the effects of the “stress hormone” norepinephrine.

All this allows it to help improve mood, sleep and learning capacity, while reducing the feeling of being stressed.

Chronic Stress, a common condition in our fast pace world, is known to contribute to cardio-vascular disease, impaired immunity, headaches, insomnia, obesity, depression, … The list goes on and on.

L-Theanine, in our 250 mg regular caps, reaches body circulation and the brain within 30 to 40 minutes. It calms racing thoughts, relaxes us and at the same time increases concentration and alertness.

When taken at bedtime, customers report significant benefits with problems of waking up too early with spinning thoughts. Especially when combined with Magnesium Glycinate at bedtime.
