Katie at KitchenStewardship:

My husband sometimes calls himself “malady man.” He’s had weird, unexplained maladies that no doctor can figure out rather too often. Who knows if they’ll all turn out to be different manifestations of a gluten sensitivity or something else we discover as we go grain-free for a spell! One of them was finally pegged as eczema, and I’ve been making him use my Hard Lotion from MadeOnon his cracked hands, when he remembers (men!). It makes headway, for sure!

Tsh at SimpleMom:

My favorite product she sent me, though, is the Hair Butter (sweetly named Second Life). Oh, the hair butter. You know how I only wash my hair with baking soda. Well, I think I’ve just replaced my apple cider vinegar rinse with a few dabs of the Hair Butter (with ingredients shea butter, coconut oil, beeswax, and orange essential oil). My hair looks amazing with this stuff, if I say so myself. And I love the scent.

Stephanie from Keeper of the Home:

I've struggled with dry, itchy and painful eczema on my hands for a long time. Some things have made a big difference (like cod liver oil, eating less sugar, keeping my stress down and my sleep up, wearing gloves, etc.).

Other things have never really made much of a difference, including the zilllion types of lotion that I have tried over the years. We tried almost everything and though some lotions helped a little, none of them really gave the relief that I needed. Until I tried MadeOn Hard Lotion bars.

Jessica from Life As Mom:

I love it that this lotion comes in bar  form because I can rub the bar on just the backs of my hands, not the palms, and avoid that sticky feeling I get from lotion. And that they are free of chemicals makes them all the more wonderful and convenient to use.

FAQ about testimonials:

How do you gather your testimonials? Post-purchase surveys, comments on Facebook and feedback given to us by email.

Do you receive negative reviews? Occasionally we receive feedback from customers who say the hard lotion bar just isn't for them. It's often due to not having much of a skin problem, having an extreme skin problem, allergies, scent issues (even with natural scent) or it takes too much work to apply.

Out of 332 survey-takers, 103 (31%) people rate the Beesilk hard lotion bar as a "10" on a scale of 1-10. (80% rate it between 7 and 10)

Now, on to the testimonies....

Beesilk Hard Lotion Relieves Hurting Skin

Trish in Maryland, via the survey (regarding the hard lotion bars):

It works so well that I then don't use it for a few days and then have to get it out again because my skin hurts!

Sons hooked on Hair Butter, Mom loves e-books

Susan in TX, via survey:

Regarding the hair butter:

 Kids LOVE it! Two of them completely commandeered the tins for themselves altogether. One son carries it in his bag. (I guess for those hair "emergencies" that might require an extra dab?)

Regarding the e-book:

Love it! I'm hooked. Completely. Have ordered my supplies from FNWL and made two batches of my own, plus lip balms. I cannot see myself ever going back to buying lotions or lip balms again. Nothing has ever worked this well. (and that includes lanolin and various "miracle" salves.)

Oil-only Products Work Better than Water-Based for Hair

Eva, via survey, regarding the Second Life Hair Butter: 

I thought that this would be too much moisture for my hair but it is perfect. It is my favorite hair product and I have tried millions. It hydrates my hair and helps it look healthy and shiny without making it look greasy. Will definitely repurchase this product!

Wife Converts Husband on Benefits of Goat Milk Soap

Ellen emailed me:
I purchased your Goat Milk Calendula Soap and loved it.
I told my husband to try it as he has been plagued for a very long time with a condition on his ankle that looks ghastly when it decides to roam its ugly head.  It is red, scaly and has bumps all around it with little sores. They itch a lot and spread to the other areas and become inflamed.  He has gone to doctors and they can not figure out what it is.  He does not have it all the time; it is just periodically throughout the year but when it comes out, he is miserable.  He said to me the other day "you know i really think this is spreading to my arm now."
I suggested he try your soap.   He loved it he said to me, "I do not know what is in that soap and frankly I do not care; it works my rash is almost gone. Keep that soap in the house at all times." 
I just wanted to say thank you.

Beesilk Jr replaces Steroid Creams for daughter

Just wanted to send a quick note to let you know how much I am loving your Made On products.  I purchased the natural lip balm for myself.  It is great.  I also purchased the Beesilk Junior for my little girl's eczema.  Her eczema is beginning to improve with this lotion.  I always hate using the steroid creams, so wanted to see if this would help, and it is!  Thanks so much for making such a great product!!

Simply Soothing Rash Cream Natural Remedy for Rosacea

Sandi, via email:

As you can imagine, people like me with rosacea are always looking for something to "tame the beast".  I came across your diaper rash cream through an Internet search and ordered some.  It came quickly in a great tin with a spatula thingy :)  I must tell you that my dry red skin on my face loves this stuff!!!  I have found that washing my face with only water and using a thin layer of this diaper rash cream calms my skin and it looks better and better each day with use.  Another thing I love about this cream is that it is virtually unscented.  Quality scentless items are top of the list to those of us who suffer from allergies and/or asthma.  Thank you so much for your wonderful products!

Wanted to Thank You for shipping both my orders together.  I had forgotten that I had wanted to order the Diaper Rash Cream until I was reading the testimonies.  I have already used the Bee Silk lotion bar and have recieved relief within a several minutes!  I can't wait to give the other bars as gifts!  Thank you so much.

Kimberly:

Just wanted to say THANK YOU!!  For the past 11 years, my
knuckles were bloody from October to March--no matter what I did.  Based
on the reviews, I cautiously hoped the Bee Silk would offer *some*
improvement--I had no idea the results would be so stinkin' phenomenal!
My hands are so fabulous that it looks like I've never even had eczema at
all!   I'm thrilled to find a natural alternative that really works.  So,
if you can't tell by all the exclamation points, I'm so grateful 
Thanks again!

I just made the Chocolate Body Mousse from your ebook.  
Oh My Goodness is that stuff heavenly!!!! 
I packaged it in jars to give as gifts.  
Once again, thanks for your wonderful recipes and products.  
My sister's hands were healed as well with the lotion bar 
(she was suffering so much I gave her her Christmas gift early).

Karen, via email:
I just wanted to tell you that I love your site & youtube videos. 
It's wonderful to find that you not only sell products ... you provide recipes,
 tutorials, wisdom & resources ... and testimonials! 
 Love that! Imagine my joy when you told us those pesky
 tea light metal/plastic containers aren't necessary ... exhale.    
I was like "brilliant ... why didn't I think of that?"  Thank you so much!

Kassia, via email:

I have been prescribed steroid creams for my mild eczema. 
With this lotion, I don't have to use the
topical steroids anymore! 
I have never found another lotion that can do
that. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I wanted to let you know how quickly our order arrived.  
My husband placed an order for a DIY kit on 12/27 and we received it on 12/30.  Wow!  
Our youngest son and I made up the lip balms today.  It was so easy to do.  
And we've been enjoying the sample Bee Silk that you included with the kit.  
I can't wait to see what it does for my husband's rough hands and my crocodile heels!

A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family,
