"I tried the sugar scrub on my face and it cleared up ALL my adult acne!!! Now I keep it in my shower and use it every day. Zero acne now! Literally life-changing!! I ran out of the scrub once and the acne came right back so I had to buy more. I used it for a few days and the acne went right away again. AMAZING product and smells so good too! I had the pleasure of meeting the owner too and she's the sweetest woman, I'm happy to support her and these lovely organic products. Plus she better stay in business cuz this girl needs her sugar scrub!!!"

"Nicoles products have become a staple in my routine! The whipped body butter is my favorite! The rich texture melts into my skin without feeling greasy. Leaving my skin soft and well hydrated. Simple, pure ingredients with no unnecessary fillers. Just high quality products that work especially well on dry patches and sensitive areas. I highly recommend these natural, minimalist products that get the job done!"

"I’ve been using Nicole’s Homestead products for a while now and honestly, they’ve been a game-changer for my dry, eczema-prone skin. Everything is made with natural ingredients and grass-fed beef tallow as the base, plus essential oils, which is exactly what I was looking for.

The body lotion is my daily go-to. It actually hydrates my skin instead of just sitting on top of it. My skin feels softer and less tight, and the eczema flares have calmed down a lot since I started using it.

The soap bar is solid too. It cleans well without that stripped, dry feeling a lot of regular soaps leave behind. Same with the shampoo bar — you only need a tiny bit and it foams up nicely and washes my hair really well. One bar lasts forever, which is nice.

The sugar body scrub is packed with those medium-fine sugar crystals that scrub off the dead skin really well, but it doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry or irritated. It actually hydrates at the same time, so my skin ends up smooth and soft.

And the new muscle rub? Total lifesaver. My back muscles get super tense, and this stuff works miracles without burning my skin or using a bunch of harsh chemicals. I just rub it on and the tension eases up.

Overall I’m really happy with all of them. Simple, natural, and they actually work for my skin. I totally recommend! The biggest plus, you're shopping small business and not feeding into a multi-million dollar corporation. I feel good knowing I'm conscious about how I spend my money not only the quality of products."

"I'm honestly so grateful for this body butter. It has been such a blessing to my skin, especially my eyelids, where I used to struggle with eczema.  It's gentle, nourishing, and works beautifully. I really appreciate the care you put into making it. Thank you for creating something so kind to sensitive skin.  I absolutely love all these products. The deodorant works so well, and it feels gentle instead of harsh. And the lip balm keeps my lips soft without feeling waxy. They're simple, thoughtful, and clearly made with care."
