Oral Care

Oral Care is so important not just for your teeth but overall health. A healthy mouth indicates a healthy body. We carry several varieties of toothpastes, mouth wash and toothbrushes.  Clove oil is very helpful at calming tooth or gum pain (until you can see your dentist) and tea tree oil can numb a canker.

Come in and see what we have to brighten that grin!

This is cheap, fun to make, and gentler on your skin than some of those harsh store-bought sanitizers (ours at Foodstuffs are gentle and safe)...

We also carry the Diva Cup - an excellent alternative to tampons as it reduces waste from feminine hygiene products to nothing!

Treat your feet to a "cheap date"... or make a wonderful gifts for friends who spend a lot of time on their feet - moms, retail or health-care workers... and lots of other women (and men) who should take a little more time for themselves...
What should I look for in safe, natural skincare?

There are so many potentially harmful chemicals hiding in supposedly helpful cosmetic and skincare products...

Sun & Bug Protection

We all love to enjoy the outdoors but who can do that while being eaten alive by bugs or if they end up with a sunburn, ouch!

Protecting our skin from the sun is so important especially as no one wants extra wrinkles or ever to hear the words "skin cancer" so sunscreen is essential. We carry many natural sunscreens for adults and children (even babies) with SPF ranging from 15 to 50. Cover up!

Bug repellents can be of equal importance. Kids hate being itchy and no one wants West Nile! Neem & catnip are excellent bug repellents and all our lines are DEET free (which is why you may notice they are not called Bug Repellents, as the federal government says only products containing DEET may use that term... so they are usually referred to as Outdoor Sprays). 

Whatever it's called come on in and we'll help you to find the right one for you!

Mineral sunscreens are better at protecting you from UVA and UVB rays then chemical sunscreens (they are called broad spectrum for this reason).

The active ingredients in sunscreen fall into two categories: physical filters and chemical filters...
