MODERNROOTS — Local services in Buffalo

Just taking the time to give this place the review it deserves! I stopped in here a couple years ago after dealing with pretty severe skin allergies, mostly with the products I was using. I love the simple ingredients and usual use of essential oils for scent in everything. Locally owned, handmade, great ingredients, and thoughtful products. This place has been a huge help in reducing my skin sensitivity.

A few of my favorites: Plain Jane lotion, good for face, hands and whole body. Not too thick or thin. Loved the conditioner bar (bonus that it doesn't come in plastic), but ultimately feel in love with the bottled Moss Resin Conditioner. Just tried the shampoo petals and love them because they get sudsy. Love the milk kefir cleanser, clay face mask, magnesium rub and can't go wrong with any of the handmade soaps. I come here often for gifts, whether for self care items for friends or baby / new mom products, they have some really unique and thoughtful options.

There are obviously products I haven't stuck with from here along the way, but just based on personal preference. This place has something for everyone and im so happy to live near such...

I first bought my products in a brick and mortar store in Stillwater, MN and was happy with what I bought. I live in another state so I wanted to order so I went on-line. I bought over $100.00 worth of products. I purchased some lip balm scrub which from other stores that a purchased a similar product it was a soft consistency and this was as hard as a rock and couldn't even apply it to my lips. I contacted the owner, Meg, and she said she would look in to it and that was 3 days ago. I would like my credit card credited for the 2 lip balms that I purchased. I feel this is very poor customer service and sad that she doesn't care about...

There are few things you can do for yourself that are better than what you put in your body and what you put on your body. Meg has created a calming peaceful place for us to buy items that some of us would love to make..however do not have the time!

Especially love: The trio of face cleansing products, the shampoo/conditioner and most loved and coveted is the Magnesium balm. My experience with this balm when applied to the bottom of my feet before sleep...I get t the most restful, rejuvenating nights sleep.

Try everything! There is value in her...
