I fell in love with this brand about a year ago when I was introduced to the rescue balm in my Topbox. It helps relieve irritated skin so I use it on my dry skin patches, cuticles and lips (see it here). Ever since then, anything I’ve tried has been a hit in my books. I raved about Nova Scotia Fisherman on MyLipAddication.com’s podcast when discussing my top 3 favourite brands with Cat.
What makes these products so great? I think it is because it’s a 100% Natural Body care line infused with Nova Scotia Kelp (yes! KELP!) which has beta-carotine and antioxidants.
Our bodies convert beta-carotene into Vitamin A which is great for the skin. Antioxidants limit the production of free radicals which can damage the skin.
What awesome things does kelp do? Well….
- it restores mositure levels
- it stimulates the skin’s ability to heal
- it revitalizes and firms skin
- and much more!
Recently I’ve been in love with the Sea Salt Soap*. It smells absolutely delicious. I have a sample and full size of the soap bar and I love how the shower smells whenever I use it. These soaps remind me of my grandfather because he actually used to make soaps himself. The process wasn’t simple but we would end up with these beautiful handmade soaps that were great for the skin and made with love. That’s who the Nova Scotia Fisherman team reminds me of, my family, and rightfully so because this is a family and friend owned business.
I have dry skin and I like when a product really works for me. That’s how I feel about the lip balms. I especially love the Fisher-Mint* (ha! such a cute name!), not only does it nourish my lips, but the added smell of mint makes mouth smell a bit fresher too. The sea salt and caramel xtreme lip care balm just smells like a yummy butterscotch. I reviewed this before in my favourite from the boxes and I’m still loving it, the lip balm minnow is always in my purse.
Another reason Nova Scotia Fisherman is a favourite of mine is because they are environmentally conscious donating a portion of the sale of each item to the Nature Conservancy of Canada to protect our plants and wildlife.
I love how nourished my skin feels once I use these products, it must be the ingredients and how well they work for me. Currently I’ve only been able to find products on their website, but I do look forward to trying more from them. I’ve been eyeing the hand and body cream and probably going to try those next.
Have you ever tried anything from this brand? What are your skincare faves?
Lots of Love,
Dal

Oh too bad! Unfortunately they are in select stores at the moment – mostly natural stores. I’ve heard Nova Scotia is beautiful- I’d love to go there.

That’s the only lipbalm I use since I had a really bad lip experience since I would say 5 years ago. Tried almost all lip balms at the drugstore even went to a doctor to get checked but nothing helped. Saw Carmex out of the whim and thought why not try since it’s soo inexpensive. I was hooked since then. It helped my lip problem a lot. (Sorry long story here) hahahaha
