As the creative force behind The Soap Company of
Nova Scotia Ltd., I am proud of our natural personal
& home care products that really work & help folks
feel content. The products my team of amazing
Soap Pros make are available in the Maritimes &
central Canada at gift shops, health food & baby
stores, Sobeys & three iconic markets (Stirling's
Fruit Farm, Masstown Market, Noggin's Corner
Farm Market). I believe every person has a right to
feel great in their own skin! After a lifetime of
chronic issues caused by synthetic ingredients &
with a dad even more afflicted, I was inspired to
create simple, gluten-free, nut-free products that
were both unscented (guaranteed!) & scented with
essential oils. Sought out by folks suffering from
Leigh McFarlane scent and/or chemical sensitivities, these products
ELP11Th make a meaningful difference for those who must
Founder & CEO avoid scent, synthetics, nuts, gluten & latex reactive
The Soap Company of Nova Scotia ingredients. As Founder & CEO, I have grown this
Ltd. business with products folks rely on & trust. Since
Sherbrooke Nova Scotia joining the Entrepreneurial Leaders Program in
http://www.soapnovascotia.com 2018 the business continues to scale, creating jobs
leigh@soapnovascotia.com & contentment with products so pure & gentle they
are tested on our children! Grandbaby-tested
Nana-approved!
