Who is Archana and what is Sabana

Nearing retirement, means finding meaningful projects I can embrace. As a social entrepeneur, I enjoy organizing and managing local markets. With my knowledge of plants and plant extracts generated from 30+ years as a botanist, soaping was an easy choice. It compliments the Himalayan textile market which I also mange. In fact Archana is its name and Sabana is close to the Sanskrit word for soap, sabuna. Archana is a Sanskrit woman's name meaning "worshiping one".

I am Marian, a botanist with a particular interest in plants and people. My home is on Canada's Atlantic coast, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Having very sensitive skin, and allergies to many ingredients, all of my soaps are tested on me. It is important to me to source sustainably harvested base oils and essential oils. All botanicals are organic and natural. Most soaps are vegan with the exception of the milk soaps.

This is my fourth ecommerce site. I have had vintage postcard sites for collectors for 10+ years. You can be confident that customer service is important to me.

My teenaged son assists me at local markets.
