Partner Spotlights are our way to shine a light on some of our amazing local partners across the country and give them a platform to tell their unique stories. Marian, the maker, promoter, and seller, at Lodestone Soap Co, in Halifax, wants to share hers!

I want people to know that my products are handmade from scratch and are self-tested.
What made you want to get into business here?
