A sweet story from our customer :-)

Calolea Conditioner/lotion
“Last summer, my 5 year-old grandson came to live with me. He had been neglected more than I realized. Beyond the emotional, his poor little body was a mess. His hair was like straw and his skin was rough and scaly. Since it happened very suddenly, the only soap and shampoo I had in the house was Calolea. It didn’t”t happen overnight, but every day his skin and hair got a little better. Every night in the bath, I would put as much of the conditioner in his hair as it would take and let it sit for the rest of the bath while I washed him with the Calolea soap. After rinsing him off, I would carefully pat him dry and slather him with the conditioner body lotion. I think I went through a whole bottle of the conditioner that first week. By the second week, his skin was soft and his hair was getting softer and starting to shine and he had stopped scratching himself bloody. Poor little guy was a ball of itch when he came to me. Now, 9 months later, his skin is so soft, his hair is soft and shiny and he smells so good. Now, if you would make a bubble bath, we would be set. 🙂

I’ve been meaning to tell you that story for a while. Thank you for making such a great product.”
