“It feels more like working at a Bakery or Juice Bar than in skincare�
Daily Happenings at SWG Working in the SWG studio, we use simple culinary equipment to turn wonderful raw materials into luxurious, handmade products for the Home, Skin and Hair! Everything is poured by hand one at a time. It feels more like working in a bakery or a juice bar than in skincare. The handmade nature means that every product is uniquely different and will have a slight difference in shape and color. We have the ability to adjust our methods, temperatures and techniques based on the ingredients and environment conditions. We take immense pride in our work and it always bring us much joy to see customers enjoy our products as much as we enjoyed creating them.

MINIMAL PRESERVATIVES Of the 300+ products we lovingly make by hand we ask that you use within 6 months of purchase and keep away from water. We use fresh ingredients and only preserve products which contain water to prevent bacteria from growing. The two preservatives we do use are the safest, mildest ones we can find, and have been used in cosmetics and skin care for 60 years. Using more or stronger synthetics would mean compromising the benefits to your skin and we don’t want that! The one main reason we started creating products where to eliminate the use of toxic chemicals that can be absorbed through the skin!

SWG Urban Oasis in The City
Learning to live off the land. Empowering people and transforming lives. Leaving our plot of the world better than when we arrived. Oasis in the City.
!
Mission Our mission is to create an abundance of food for people in need by inspiring and educating all people and to create an economically sustainable system to uplift communities. One way we do this is by encouraging the establishment of gardens and raising awareness for health and wellness. As well as hosting informational and training workshops.
! Description !
SWG Urban City Oasis is a vision that sees a future in which good health, innovation and productivity are an inherent part of life. We believe in empowering people and transforming lives to live vibrant, productive, healthy and less wasteful lifestyles.
!
Learning the ways of our ancestors and going back to simpler times. Consuming less and creating more. Adding to the Earth instead of taking away from it. Eating food we've raised or grown ourself. Leaving our plot of the world better than when we arrived. Oasis in the City. Urban homesteader
!
SWG Urban Oasis provides refuge, relief + pleasant contrast. A public open space, located in between buildings or formed by surrounding buildings in an Urban setting. The Oasis is used by residents of the community during everyday activities. The Urban Oasis offers many benefits to the community by inviting people to stop, sit, eat, play + relax. The oasis adds value to cities, and neighborhoods while providing identity, and economic benefit.
!
Environmental benefits including the perception of a landscape as naturally beautiful, increasing plant reliability and decreasing costs, improving planting success, richer living environment, or preventing habitats, are gained from urban oases. Our appreciation of the natural environment is enhanced by vegetation. Which adds open space and creates animal + bird habitat areas.
!
Fruit receives a constant flow of energy from the tree. The minute it leaves the branch it starts to decompose. The sooner we use it, the higher its nutrients and the greater the benefit to your skin. It’s for this reason that we use the freshest ingredients possible and one of the main reasons to pursue our goal of SWG Urban Oasis to deliver Fresh fruit, flowers, herbs and vegetables from our own back door to quickly get to work slicing, squeezing and mixing them into expertly-formulated recipes.

SWG is the ultimate beauty bakery. We consider ourselves a skincare grocer with our fresh, handmade, and inventive products loaded with the finest natural ingredients; we adore using fresh fruits and vegetables, butters and milks. Sprinkle with Grace, founded by Danielle Lasit and her children, is a company built upon the belief of creating fresh, non-toxic + all natural home care, skincare and haircare products. The SWG Journey started in 2009. Danielle had to figure out a way to provide for her little children as well as figure out alternative, non-toxic hygienic beauty care regimen for her growing girls. It all started with finding a chemical free deodorant to make for her daughter, whom at the time was only five years old. Through lots of dedication, handwork and a belief that she could create an avenue to provide for her growing family. That is when SWG was born.
!
The plan was to make skincare, haircare and hygienic products that were as natural as possible and to avoid using synthetic preservatives. Every SWG product is jam packed with the highest quality natural ingredients such as: butters, herbs, fruit, flowers, milks, vegetables and essential oils. The inspiration behind the company design is: Farmer’s Market, Local Juice Bar, Sweet Bakery/Candy confections created from the love of sweet confections, cupcake shops, juice bars and farmers markets that the SWG Children love to frequent.

Working in the SWG studio, we use simple culinary equipment to turn wonderful raw materials into luxurious, handmade products for the Home, Skin and Hair! Everything is poured by hand one at a time. It feels more like working in a bakery or a juice bar than in skincare.

EXACTLY WHY IS ORGANIC SKINCARE A GREAT IDEA? The important reason that organic skin care is a good idea is that your skin absorbs all sorts of chemicals and compounds from whatever it comes into contact with. Individuals have been proven to die from contact with toxins through their very own skin although this is less likely to happen with commercially produced skin care products. It still implies that any kind of chemicals in the products tend to be making their means through your skin and within the circulatory system. In fact, you may choose to reason that ingesting an organic diet and not using organic skin products is a major deterrent as all the good you are going through using your diet is going to be undone by the products you put on your skin! So if you are thinking about your state of health, you desire to ensure that anything you use is created sustainably and you still wish to look great, then organic skin products are the way to go!
!!
PRECISELY WHAT IS ORGANIC SKIN CARE ANYHOW? Lots of people think about just what organic skin care is, exactly. It is very similar such as organic food but made from premium quality substances, uncontaminated by chemicals together with all natural ingredients that are meticulously screened. They're about as natural as skin care products go and they use the entire idea of hypoallergenic, non-harmful products to a completely new phase! Organic skin care products are typically produced by smaller companies and generally by companies that do not test out on animals. Actually there are plenty of organic skincare ranges around that are suitable for vegans as well. In short, organic skin care is all about setting aside many of the bad stuff from skin care and making sure you receive a whole lot of the beneficial stuff. It is the same kind of thing as producing your own all natural, all organic skin care solutions at home when you wish them - but without the trouble.
!!
EVERY DROP FEEDS YOUR SKIN SWG's skin-care line features healthy ingredients which contain no parabens, petroleum, propylene or butylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfates, pesticides, phthalates, artificial dyes, or synthetic fragrances. Many consumers have started purchasing organic food because they do not want to be exposed to harmful pesticides and chemicals. That’s the same reason consumers have turned to SWG products made with natural, organic ingredients; they want to have all the benefits of great beauty products without any unhealthy ingredients. Just like with food, your skin absorbs up to 64% of what you place on it, so instead of harmful ingredients use healthy ingredients. Most women switch to an organic lifestyle when they are pregnant because they want to protect their unborn child from harmful toxins. We’re here to convince you to stick with these healthy habits because your kids and family care about your health and you care about looking fabulous! It’s never too early or too late to start using natural!
!!
DID YOU KNOW Did you know that Organically farmed fruits and vegetables contain between 30-50% vitamins and minerals? We at SWG create an antioxidant rich organic juice base, which means that every drop feeds your skin with powerful antioxidants, nutrients, vitamins, minerals and more! This organic juice base is included in the majority of our products along with luxurious organic shea, jojoba, argan, aloe, grape seed and organic juices, bringing our total organic content to a very high level. And All of those antioxidants are feeding your skin!
!!
STAY AWAY FROM CHEMICALS The main problem with using the cheap skin products based in petroleum is that human skin has natural and protective oil layers called sebum which detergents and harsh chemicals strip away. When our natural shield is removed, any nasty chemicals in the synthetically derived “Beauty Bar “ are free to damage unprotected skin cells. With a real bar of natural soap, you get a moisturizing and cleansing bar soap that is gentle on your skin and still has the naturally occurring glycerin
