When You’re Drenched in Tears By Chaya Ben-Baruch When our pediatric cardiologist met with us for the first time in February 1992, at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland, OR, the lollipop in his mouth seemed...

… it was the natural ingredients, the charming packaging, and overall wonderful feel and scents of the products themselves that make me a repeat customer. I especially love the sun balm- wonderful feel and you want to put it on face and body -- with no artificial anything. And the beehive candles are a wonderful gift.

... a small enterprise that completely rocked my world! I bought a re-usable food cover made of cloth infused with bee wax. Ideal for making a baggie for veggies, nuts, covering small bowls. Wraping my toothbrush and toothpaste together if I am traveling, wapping pens together in my pencil case etc etc. Using this gives me an alternative to cling film and plastic sandwitch bags and makes me feel good about myself and my relationship with the environment.

I was really surprised when my 11 yr. old son asked specifically for MORE Neshikha lip balm. Our entire family loves the fantastic scents and uses them all the time.

“I’m reluctant to endorse this product widely because when you find something good you want to keep it secret and exclusively for yourself. But the altruistic side of me wins and I can unreservedly attest to the honey being WOW…The natural earthiness of the honey just caresses the taste buds …”

Neshikha lip balms go on smooth as silk. Refreshing, nourishing, healing scent combinations make me sing my heart out. https://tziona-achishena.com/

I’ve been loving using my Neshika Lipbalm over the last few months. The SpiriMint one is delightful and refreshing. I’ve used many natural-ingredient lip balms and I appreciate the high quality of Neshika’s ingredients. And I am happy to support a local business and a great cause.

I am a big fan of Neshikha lip balm — especially the RoseMiri Lavender. The feel, the scent, the delicious list of natural ingredients… When I use this excellent product, I know I’m treating myself with love.

For me the difference between your natural skin care and the commercial varieties is gourmet food to fast food. I love the way it smells, the way it feels on my skin, everything about it. I enjoy applying it because I feel like I’m putting something good on and into my body.
