Artisan Market Monday: Bonnie – Naturally Nourishing

Spring is finally here and it’s time for a little sweetness!  One of our newest additions to the B3 artisan market is Bonnie, a line of naturally nourishing skincare, candles, and perfume created by Sarah deHebreard.

She says about her beginning and process: “In February of 2010, Chicago fine artist Sarah deHebreard turned her focus from painting pictures to making lip balm, and Bonnie was born. Her naturally nourishing products harness the goodness that nature provides in sophisticated and creative ways, making use of natural compounds in complex and luxurious formulations. Sarah is constantly developing new formulas with a focus on sensitive skin, and searching for new and interesting ways to combine nature and science.  As a self-described micro-manager with an eye for detail, Sarah handles every aspect of Bonnie on her own; including graphic and web design, product development, marketing, production, and packaging.”

Our favorites include the soy lotion Body Balm candles in a variety of scents (shown above), including Pear Berry, a more masculine Clyde’s Sandalwood, Honeysuckle, and Ginger Tea.  Her Rosemary Mint foot cream (below, left) is also going to be perfect for the upcoming sandal season!

We also carry one of Bonnie’s perfumes from her line of Chicago inspired scents, called 1914: A Forest.  She describes this perfume in that it “begins as a resinous floral, becoming overgrown with soft, warm earth tones as complex as the forest itself,” but we think this is best really experienced to understand its richness.

Stop in today to give any of these luscious scents a try!
