Our Team

At A Dirty Hoe we don't believe anyone can be truly ZERO waste, however we make every stride to reduce our waste. We love if you return your jars or containers and we purchase everything in bulk to decrease waste. The plastic jars we use here at A Dirty Hoe come from Post Industrial Resin, so they've already been recycled.  We will give you a $1-2 discount for bringing back any A Dirty Hoe container. 

We are working on getting into some retail locations. 2 Sisters Bottega in Ashkum, IL; Dupage Wellness Center in Warrenville, IL; and Sun & Shade Garden Center in Lemont, IL currently carry some of our products. 

You're always welcome to pick up at one of our homes as well in Warrenville or Lombard, IL or we are willing to do local delivery (for $2) in the areas around Lombard or Warrenville

Know of a retail location that might want to carry A Dirty Hoe products? email us at d2@adirtyhoe.com

If we have an upcoming show you'll be at, you can also pick up your order there.  We always recommend ordering ahead to guarantee we have the inventory. (we once sold out of a scent of body butter before the event even started!)

Of course! At A Dirty Hoe, we make everything in small batches at home so we are more than willing to customize scent for you. We work solely with essential oils for scent, so the blend of scent will need to be in that realm. Need bath bombs for a shower gift? We can help you out.  Wedding favors? of course!  

Want an item for your customers? We can even custom make a label so it shows both our logos. 

Any order big or small can be customized. 

Your skin absorbs everything you put on it. Just reading a lotion bottle, or researching what is in your laundry detergent is a little shocking. We like knowing exactly what we are putting on our skin. We are by no means perfect, but every little thing helps our body from having to detoxify what we've put on it. And we can bring this to you as well in products that actually work.  Did you know the EU bans around 1300 "potentially toxic" ingredients from their cosmetics, perfumes and skincare products? The USA bans just 11. Yikes! 

I've also heard that the average woman has put 156 toxic items on her skin before she leaves the house.  Yikes again! 

Our answer on this might shock you, but no.  Our botanicals are all raised in our yards where we do not spray any insecticides or herbicides. But our inputs such as Shea or cocoa butter and our essential oils are not certified organic. Why?! 

Because that does not mean chemicals were not used in the production of that product. We don't think it's worth charging you more when they still allow chemicals to be used.  Here's the list of allowed chemicals that can be used and still certified organic: https://www.omri.org/about-products-list 

Instead we feel it's best to stick with avoiding preservatives, dyes, pthalates in fragrance oils, and other endocrine disruptors.
