Story Sheidow, owner of Townes Herbals is a Chartered Herbalist living in rural P.E.I. Townes Herbals was created from her personal desire to eliminate chemicals in her day-to-day life, and use only natural products. "I have spent years working in greenhouses and landscaping, as well as foraging from the wild," explains Sheidow, "I strive to utilize all my experiences to help make Townes Herbals as grassroots as possible." A few years ago Sheidow began experimenting with skincare products such as toners, lotions, body butters and hair oils. Although initially she was happy with the available products being promoted as natural, Sheidow discovered through research that many of these natural products contained carcinogens, additives, parabens, and preservatives. "I struggled to find good alternatives that were both natural and affordable and as a result, I started learning to make my own," says Sheidow. Over time, Sheidow learned more and more about herbs and what our bodies need to be happy, and she fine-tuned her products to be sure they are 100 per cent tried, tested, and true. She strives to ensure the products are as affordable as possible, and her studies in Herbalism are constantly being applied to new products and ideas. All of the products are made in small batches to ensure freshness, with no water added, and no preservatives.
