Tanpopo Bath and Body

"You can have your cake and soak in it too" with Tanpopo! No, the attractive booth at the Sackville Farmers Market is not selling pastry - it’s a purveyor of succulent delights for body and bath, all handcrafted by artisan Amanda Feindel and Mark Istvanffy who whip up their magic potions in their own home in the quaint town of Dorchester, New Brunswick. Tanpopo carries a complete line of all-natural, environmentally friendly and pleasing products which include bath and massage oils, lip balm, all-natural insect repellent, and an all-purpose household cleaner as well as bath crystals, fizzy baths, herbal milk baths and bath bombs in the shape of tempting miniature gourmet cakes in two sizes, all made with the use of essential oils such as lavender, jasmine, bergamot, patchouly, ginger, rose, lemon-grass, eucalyptus, citronella, tangerine, sandalwood, with hazel, lemon, and peppermint which "trigger the physical and emotional senses to help create and maintain balance and promote personal health." With new products being developed all the time, coming attractions will include naturally-scented perfume, body butter, deodorant, hand salve, lavender, linen water, and carpet deodorizer.

The Sackville Farmers Market has been a terrific venue for the wonderful products from Tanpopo, especially with its exposure to up to 2000 university students during the school year and to tourists in the summer months. Recently expanded to the newly created Tantramar Farmers Market held on Sunday mornings at the Sackville Civic Centre, plans are in the works to join the new Dieppe Farmers Market in the near future and to add such retail establishments as The Crofter in Sackville to the list of Tanpopo’s retail outlets. Tanpopo’s unique products, made from only the finest ingredients, free from commercial detergents and harsh scents, offers the ultimate in homespun luxury straight from the hands of Amanda and Mark to your bath or boudoir. Sold individually or in gift packs, these fine products are an ideal gift for a friend or a treat for yourself. Special orders can be specially created to customer specifications for any occasion.
