They specialize in very high quality, ethically traded goods from far and wide.
They have a well organized website that has links to their colourful catalogues. Surprisingly, they don't have an online shopping element, so you have to contact a One Earth representative to purchase from them. To do that, you could contact them to find a rep, search on Facebook or just check out Jessica Torres' Page.
Jessica became my One Earth rep after some friendly chats on Facebook. She is genuinely passionate about her company and it's products and (a really nice down to earth person.)
So for the product review, I have a few things.
A few I purchased and a few that were given to me as samples.
I bought these skewers for my mom who has a wood burning oven and needed marshmallow/hotdog skewers for roasting. These are a beautiful set. And there are 12! Perfect for parties and campfires. Made by hand and measuring 17" tip to tip, which is just long enough to roast on a fire place (if that is what you are using them for) and very generously sized for the BBQ.
They come packaged as above, appeared strong and excellent in quality, and would make a nice gift for any man/woman/family that loves to BBQ or has wood burning fireplace!
My mom loved them!
One Earth's Spa Products
When discussing One Earth's Spa line, Jessica let me know I could feel good about buying them:
"All of our Spa Products are made in Morocco, by a Women's Co-op,
where women learn skills and are able to earn an income in a developing
country where over 60% of women are illiterate. The Argan Forests of
Morocco are protected as a UNESCO site. Truly when these items are purchased we are helping women in Morocco become self sufficient."
Black Soap
One Earth's Notes:
• There are differences between African Black Soap and Moroccan
Black Soap- Moroccan is felt to be a superior product.
• It will lather but only slightly. Black Soap- Moroccan is felt to be a superior product.
• After using Black Soap, Argan Oil is the perfect moisturizer.
Over All Benefits of Black Soap:
• Removes dead skin (the rough and dry outer surface of our skin).
• Deep cleans the skin by removing toxins and dead skin cells,
making our skin softer.

skin and clogged pores.

Cautions:
• Never get Black Soap in your eyes, it will sting.
• It should not be used on broken skin.
• Black Soap is made from Water, Olive Paste and Argan Oil and
either Orange Blossom or Eucalyptus essential oils.
Personal Aside: (As we know Essential Oils should be used with
some caution.)
Personal Notes:
either Orange Blossom or Eucalyptus essential oils.

Personal Notes:
A little goes a really long way! (Which is great because the product
will last a long time!)
When you use it, it definitely feels like a bit of a 'treatment'.
There is a mild tingling factor and definite scent, which is all part of
black soap experience.
How to Use:
I would not use it on children or anyone vulnerable with soft skin.
But if you are like me and always trying to exfoliate your body
with different things, I would run out and buy this immediately!
Argan Oil
You'll find argan oil in many products now a days and is recognized
to be a fantastic oil for use on the body! One Earth had a great sale
on their 100ml pure argan oil, so I took advantage!
Over All I would definitely check out One Earth and if you have
friends who are into multicultural and ethically traded things,
they do have a party format where you can host a party and get
discounts and credits for free products! They have some gorgeous
gift items, shoes, bags, the list goes on!

How to Use:
1) Wet and let your body warm up for a few minutes (if you have a
sauna, use it in there)
2) Apply the soap on your body and let it sit for 5 minutessauna, use it in there)
3) Rinse your body while scrubbing with your scrub glove in a
circular motion (It is called a Kessa Glove).
Regarding the Kessa Glove: I don't know much about this
exfoliating glove, except that it is the best and scrubbiest body glove
I have ever used. It's actually more of a mitt, made from a red fabric,
fits well and woo boy does it scrub! You have to use it very gently
if you use it on your face.

They also offer argan oils in a spray format, premixed with essential
oils. But as always, I recommend doing research, to make sure these
oils are right for you before using.

I was also given a small sample of their Argan Oil Soap Bar, and I
have to say this is one of the softest, creamiest bars of soap I have
ever used. I would especially recommend it for people who have
dry skin (but still want to suds up) and to people who are looking
for an excellent shaving soap.
