For most of my life, my favourite thing to do was be near, in and around water. I even used to do my homework in the tub, strange but true. Many existing bath and body products contained additives that caused skin reactions, to myself and my children. Even products geared to sensitive skin and high end products labelled "Low in Additives" caused reactions and were expensive. Once I really read the labels, I noticed additives like SLS, Parabens and Fragrance, not really knowing what these meant. The drugstore level brands geared to sensitive skin were more affordable, but the fragrance load seemed high and again reactions occured. I started doing research on cosmetics, ingredients and manufacturing. It amazed me how many products contain alot of "filler" and not alot of substance.  In an effort to provide myself and my family with quality bath products I decided to create a bath bomb myself.

Bathbombs were my favourite. I loved the fun and fragrance of them; as did my children. However, once we started looking at the cost, ingredients and well, the clean up, they just weren't what I was looking for. Hence, the birth of the "Cupcake". Once I started with this little powerful treat, I did more research on ingredients and bath products. I developed an extensive product line that covered head to toe, baby to grandparent and loved every minute of it. After 4 years of operation, I have decided to pare down the product line. Now the majority are 100% natural, are unique and are customer favourites.

The Sickie Poo Rub is probably the product closest to my heart. After the birth of my second child my epidural went wrong and I now suffer from Chronic Neuropathic Pain.  I use this warming massage gel every day to assist in my pain management. The massaging effect and the warming essence of the product can help relax and ease discomfort.

Over the years I have met many people who suffer from Chronic Pain and their caregivers/family. In my previous life of wholesaling and packaging Disability Insurance, I became quite knowledgable on what people need. One of the areas that people overlook is hand and foot care. General skin care and maintenance is also important, especially if people are relugated to chairs and beds. Products like the Peppy Pieds, Uber Cream, Sickie Poo and others help managing daily care. It is an added bonus that these products do not contain additives.

Bath-a-holic is a company that is committed to providing high quality products, that are low in additives for those that care about others, themselves and the environment. I am sure that once you try one of our products you will become a Bath-a-holic too.
