Last Saturday, the Turner Valley Legion was filled with festive cheer as the Christmas Market brought together artisans, families, and neighbors for a day of holiday magic. Alpine Creek Soaps was honored to be part of this gathering, sharing our handmade creations with so many wonderful visitors.
What We Shared at the Market
- Gentle, nourishing soaps that many guests loved for their soothing touch on winter skin.
- Rich body butters and balms, perfect for easing dryness during Alberta’s cold season.
- Pet-safe soaps and paw balms, which sparked smiles from pet lovers looking to protect their furry companions from icy sidewalks.
- Seasonal scents inspired by cozy kitchens and snowy forests — peppermint, lavender, and cedarwood were clear favorites.
Gentle Winter Care for Your Skin
The conversations at our booth reminded us how much winter can challenge our skin. Here are a few tips we shared with visitors — and they remain just as helpful now:
- Choose mild cleansers: Natural soaps with shea or oat cleanse without stripping.
- Moisturize in layers: Apply lotion after bathing, then seal with a richer butter on elbows, knees, and hands.
- Care for pets too: Paw balms protect against cracking and irritation from snow and salt.
A Season of Care
The market wasn’t just about selling — it was about connecting. We loved hearing stories, answering questions, and seeing people discover products that bring comfort in the cold months. Winter care is more than skincare; it’s about nurturing ourselves, our families, and even our pets with gentleness and intention.
At Alpine Creek Soaps, we’re always listening to what your skin — and your lifestyle — needs. This winter, we’re excited to announce that new products are on the horizon:
- Shampoo Bars: Gentle, natural, and travel-friendly. These solid bars will cleanse without stripping, leaving hair soft and nourished while reducing plastic waste.
- Lip Balms: Rich in natural butters and oils, our balms will soothe and protect against Alberta’s dry winter air, keeping lips soft and comfortable all season long.
Each creation follows our promise: small-batch, palm-free, pet-safe, and made with care. These additions are designed to complement our soaps, body butters, and balms — offering you a complete circle of gentle, sustainable care.
Stay tuned for their launch, and be the first to experience these new essentials at our upcoming markets and online shop.
Stay safe and stay warm.
