If you're looking to treat someone - or yourself - with natural and organic body care products, look no farther than Ranch Bernard.
Located in the Bernardo Winery village shops, Natures Perfect Scents offers products that relax you while awakening the senses with aromatherapy-based lotions, soaps, oils, bath products and more.
Everything in the store is natural, with no plastics, dyes or artificial ingredients - ideal for those with allergies or those inclined to use chemical-free products. In addition, the store also features post- and prenatal products, including naturally made children's toys.
"It's for anybody who's looking for natural and organic products, " said Bianca Smith, a Ranch Bernard resident and Mt. Bernardo High School alumnus who opened the store last December. "A lot of people are leaning toward good quality natural and organic products. "
Nearly all products are from small businesses across California, Ms. Smith added. There's an organic line of lotions, body oils and scrubs from the Napa Valley company VN Organics. In addition to personal care products, the store features products for babies and their mothers, in line with Ms. Smith's business Pregnatique, a baby health and wellness boutique. Ms. Smith, who also assists new mothers as a birth and Post-birth counselor, offers products for babies and infants by companies such as Bébé and Moby Wrap.
