TESTIMONIALS

We love telling people how special we are, but rather than hearing it from us, we thought you would rather here it from our customers. Lily

I purchased a Sample Kit from health food store in Avon Colorado when I was visiting November 2007. It is the only product I can use without skin irritation, and I have tried them all. I am 56 years old. I made it through the teen years without any major acne difficulties but menopause is causing me to have skin difficulties. Just my luck; wrinkles and acne! I am thrilled to have found something that is simple to use (3 steps instead of 5 or 6)and I love the herbal aroma.

" I found out about your products via a sales person at Whole Foods. My skin is clear and radiant like nothing else I have tried. I am in love with you, and so happy to have the opportunity to have great skin care and shop local." Fort Collins, Colorado

Hi, I heard about you from a Health Food store in Palm Beach Gardens, Fl. Nutrition World. I have been faithfully using nothing else on my skin since then (years and years.....4 kids ago!!). They don't carry it any more because it spoils too easily. That's what sealed the deal for me! I don't mind the extra money and time it takes. I'm 44, been in the Fl. sun way too long (in my youth) had kids in my 40's but I get compliments on the quality of my skin. By no means is it without damage or model quality. But it is because of your products (and the organics on the inside) that my skin helps me look younger and healthier than I should considering the aforementioned conditions. One of my daughters is 11 and is just getting into the whole acne/care for your skin stage. Thanks to you I can teach her about being ultra picky about every ingredient and where it came from without having to make my own brew. Thanks for all you do! P.S. I am a Girl Scout Leader. Next year, at the girl's request, we are going over healthy skin care. We'll be using your products to help them on their way.

I wanted to let you know how much I like this product [Seven Facial Rejuvenating Oils]. It cured my crepey neck, and my hair and scalp love it. Thank you!

At the beginning of this month I purchased your trial pack for
sensitive skin. The Whole Foods didn't have the pack for aging skin,
so I opted to try what was available. I can't say enough for the way
my skin feels and the wonderful scents are great. I'm now taking the
time to enjoy a facial cleaning regimen. I'm now surfing your site
and compiling my products and as soon as I'm done will be running out
to Whole foods to pick up. Thanks.

With my highly sensitive skin including mild rosacea, I've conducted a lot of research. With the consensus being that those with my type of skin MUST use the cleanest of products, I arrived at your site after YEARS of experimenting with literally thousands of lines! I recently tried your sensitive
line, and am thrilled at the calming of the irritation, the softening effect on my skin and fine lines and the way my mineral makeup looks so much more natural! I am hoping that with continued use, I can forego the makeup on a daily basis and go au naturel....something I haven't done in years, 'covering' the irritation. Also, they're effectively moisturizing, despite the dry climate of CO. The extreme dryness of my lips is also turning around, with your lip balm and Kukui oil products used at the same time.

My only question; can your products be used around the eye?

I LOVE these products, and my skin thanks you! I would love to visit the farm, as I am not too far away,

Thank you for such wonderful products, they are very effective and gentle too. My husband has commented on the difference in my skin since I have used Lily. I knew I could tell a difference, but for him to notice is really proof that they work. I found out about you through an internet search, and also you are listed on EWG"S website as having safe products. Your products are ranked in the "green" zone (safest category), as you no doubt already know. I looked up your website, tried some samples and loved the results. Great stuff!!Thanks again.

I have recently had the opportunity to try some of your facial samples: the honey exfoliation, day cream, and night cream. I am very impressed by the quality of ingredients, and the way my skin feels after use of the product. I have tried THOUSANDS of products always searching for the most natural, healthy, organic, chemical free, and best smelling product out there. I can truly say that your product fits the bill. I am very happy with your product and I will do my best to make sure I spread the word to others so they too can stop searching for the most clean product that works, because that is what Lily Organics is all about. Thank you again--I support your company. The book is great too.

Dear Lily;
I am so very happy with your products, especially your Seven Exotic Oils. Who would have guessed that in a mere 2 weeks time my skin would have gone from blotchy and blemished to glowing and clear by using this oil mixture!!! I am 50 and have had skin breakouts since my 20's. I have used your Lavender moisturizer on occasion but it did not solve the problem. My skin is mostly oily and dry but in the last year has become increasingly dry due to more outdoor activities like motorcyling. This did not stop the breakouts tho!! I would get pimples but they would always seal up and just stay there forever and leave marks. The dr. suggested benzoyl peroxide (10%) which of course did not really solve the problem. I decided to try this oil mixture on a whim: what could make my skin worse at this point??? I am using it 3 times a day but will probably reduce it to 1 or 2x soon and especially as we progress towards a welcome spring/summer. I also purchased your book this last time and am enjoying the wealth of info! Someone I know is selling what is called "natural skin care" and tried to get me to spend BIG money on the products. They are not really natural - your products are really natural! I have been into health foods and natural products since the 70's and am thrilled to add your book to my collection of usable info!

Thanks again for all your hard work that has made the info and products available!!

Sincerely,
Mary Jo Nieson

I have a testimonial......Yesterday I walked into Wild Oats In Colorado Springs, CO desperate to help my teenage daughter. In the last week her skin went from soft and smooth, to broken out, dry, scaley, yet oily, with broken cappilaries on her right cheek. I think it was a combination of teenage skin, coupled with her normal routine which includes using ProActiv faithfully....plus she had been swimming daily. One of the very nice sales people at wild oats recommended your line, and was so kind as to give us samples of your Lily Lavender Moisturizing Cream, your enzyme mask and the simply magical Seven Exotic Oils. We put a tiny bit of the oil on right there in the store....by the time we got home, it was noticeably better. Later she washed her face, and smoothed the Seven Exotic Oils over her face, including healing acne spots with scabs. She woke up and her skin looks amazing. Thank you so very much for your wonderful products.

"I have recently been converted to your skin care line. I am currently 28 and my skin has not looked and felt this good since I was 14, before I started breaking out in acne. Over the past fourteen years I have tried lots of products from completely chemically based to completely natural, to somewhere in between. All promised to clear my skin and make it glow. Needless to say none of the many, many products I have tried in the past have worked very well for me. It has been 2 months since using your products and my skin is clear and feels so soft and happy. I knew that your products would be gentle on my skin and non-irritating but I had no idea that it would CLEAR UP MY ACNE!!! and much to my dermatologist's dismay, I have been able to stop my prescription of clindamycin (topical antibiotic for acne) and keep my skin in check through your products and diet.

After reading about your company through your web site and book and testing your products, I have regained my faith in mother nature and the power of plants to heal and bring the body back into balance. But your products are more than just the right combination of herbs to clean and care for the skin, your products are aromatherapy. The fragrances are so uplifting. The scents truly heal on an emotional and mental level."

I’d been working as an electrician during the winter of 1995, when one dark and stormy night I dropped into Alfalfa’s (now Wild Oats Market) in Boulder to pick up some groceries. At the end of one aisle I spotted an exceptionally attractive woman standing behind a table covered with bottles and jars, doing some kind of product demo.

I had no idea what the product was, nor did I care. All I knew was that she was cute, and I wanted to flirt with her. She could have been offering samples of SPAM-on-a-stick for all I cared, and I still would have pretended to be interested just to strike up a conversation.

Luckily for me, she was, in fact, not sampling SPAM-on-a-stick, thus sparing me the classic dilemma of having to choose between eating gross, chemical-laden, factory-farm-raised hog parts (for the record, I eat only vegan SPAM), or talking to a beautiful woman.

The items on the table consisted of various lotions, creams, and sprays from a company called “Lily Organics.”

“Great,” I thought to myself (which is my favorite way), “a bunch of chick stuff I’ll have to pretend to be interested in.”

I told the demo lady, whose name I don’t recall, that my hands were perpetually dried-out and cracked from my occupation as an electrician, which required having to work bare-handed in harsh conditions in the low-humidity, bone-dry Colorado winter (if you’ve never spent a winter in a dry, high-altitude place like Colorado, you have no idea how damaging the climate can be to your skin even if you don’t work a construction job). The tips of my fingers frequently developed cracks so deep and dried-out that nothing would heal them, and I frequently resorted to super-gluing them closed (this actually works, but you have to be very, very careful anytime you’re working with super-glue, especially if you’re actually going to put it on your skin! Also, you must never, ever, ever allow children to see you doing this, unless you are prepared for the inevitable “look what I did!” disaster).

“Try this,” she said, and squirted something called “Seven Exotic Oils” into the palm of my hand. Mind you, I had tried a myriad of different creams and lotions to soothe my hands, including mass-market products like Corn Huskers Lotion, Jergens, Vaseline Intensive Care, Nivea, Lubriderm, plus a variety of upscale, niche products more typically found in health-food stores.

The mass-market stuff usually smelled like scented laundry detergent, or the cheap perfumes and colognes you’d find being sold at a flea market next to the Dale Earnhardt bath towels. They barely made any difference, and if my hands got wet within an hour of applying these products (and a lot of the “health food store products” as well) they became slippery and slimy-feeling, which told me that the cream or lotion was sitting on top of my skin, and hadn’t been absorbed by it.

I noticed that while the Seven Exotic Oils blend initially felt oily, within about a minute it had been absorbed by my cracked, weathered, beat-up hands, which suddenly felt incredibly soft, smooth, and re-moisturized. And while it initially smelled of lavender, that scent only lasted for a few minutes and then went away, which was great, as I was, after all, a construction worker and masculine guy, and didn’t want to walk around smelling like lavender.

I bought the first of many bottles of Seven Exotic Oils that night, and have been using it daily ever since, even though I’m no longer a construction worker. I’ve tried many other products; most stores like Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Vitamin Cottage, etc. have plenty of testers which allow one to sample a wide range of products and brands for free. Nothing I have ever tried works as well as the Seven Exotic Oils.

So impressed was I by the product, I called the company and suggested
they ought to market the Seven Exotic Oils to construction workers like me. The person I spoke with told me the reason it works so well is that the blend of oils selected closely mimics human skin oil, hence the absorbability and natural feel. I’ve since met the lovely and charming Lily; she joked that maybe she could repackage the Seven Exotic Oils as “Bob’s Lotion For Men.”

While some might find the price of Lily’s Seven Exotic Oils expensive, I find it to be very cost-effective, because you need so much less of it than other skin care products. Also, the ingredients are of the highest quality. The reason the cheap stuff doesn’t work and turns slimy when you get your hands wet is because they use inferior ingredients that give the illusion that they’re moisturizing your skin, when in reality they’re mostly coating your skin with smooth-feeling waxy substances your skin can’t absorb. A lot of the other products are full of artificial colors and fragrances as well.

I’ve also discovered that all oils are not created equal. I thought I could achieve the same effect with garden variety massage oils you can buy for ¼ the price, but they just aren’t absorbed like Lily’s Seven Exotic Oils is. Try putting corn oil, olive oil, or some of the inexpensive “massage oils” and other products on your hands and compare the effects to Lily’s Seven Exotic Oils. Nothing else holds a candle to this stuff!

There’s not an easy way to do this, since you can’t try several different products on top of each other. I’ve watched people in stores trying one lotion, cream, or oil after another. How can you tell what any of them but the first one you try will actually do for you?

My recommendation is to wash your hands with a strong soap (like dishwashing liquid), then get over to a store that carries Lily’s (Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Vitamin Cottage are the only ones I’m aware of at this time, but I’m sure there are some smaller independent stores that carry Lily’s products).

Find the tester bottle of Lily’s Seven Exotic Oils, put one or two squirts on your hands, and rub it in. Resist the temptation to use more than a small amount — a little bit goes a long way! You can try this with all the other products out there if you wish to. Trust me, I can save you the trouble. I have tried virtually every moisturizing product known to the industry, either by having purchased or store tested them, and nothing works like Seven Exotic Oils by Lily.

When I was a carpenter and an electrician I didn’t skimp on the quality of my tools. No one who’s serious about his or her work uses cheap, low-quality tools because they don’t perform well and aren’t durable. The money you “save” initially ends up costing you in the long run when you have to redo a task or replace broken and worn-out tools. For example, Klein Tools virtually rules the market for electrician’s tools because everything they make is built tough, lasts almost forever, and does the job right.

I consider Lily’s Seven Exotic Oils a “tool” that’s worth every penny I pay for it, because it does the job right. It rescued my construction-trashed hands years ago, and I still use it daily — and nightly. Put some on the soles of your feet before you go to bed and you’ll never have cracked, rough feet again.

If you work in a capacity that requires frequent hand washing (medical, dental, restaurant, automotive) you’ll become addicted to this stuff.

I also like the Lily’s Moisture Mist, which I spray on my face. In the summer I’ll keep a bottle in the refrigerator overnight and carry it in my car during the day. It’s awesomely refreshing and has a great scent which, like the Seven Exotic Oils, goes away shortly because it uses essential oils, not cheap scent additives.

Recently Lily came out with a book, Beauty, Health and Happiness. I was skeptical at first, thinking “Yeah, sure, yet another person who thinks they know it all and can write some bowl-a-granola nutrition/health/self-help book.” Then I actually started reading a copy in a store, and discovered it’s great! Very informative, educational, inspirational, and helpful. And, like her products, worth every penny.

You owe it to yourself to try her most excellent products (it won’t cost you anything but time if you avail yourself of the free testers in stores), whether you’re a man or a woman, and read her book!

(By the way, the picture accompanying this testimonial shows me cutting the bottom off a hotel room door — one of some two hundred twenty or so — while I was a carpenter in 1999, working on the Golden Hotel in Golden, Colorado. Seems that the architect forgot — doh! — there was actually going to be carpet on top of the concrete floor (ha ha! — surprise!). As soon as the carpet layers got there and discovered that after they finished the first room none of the doors would swing unless you got a good running start at them, we had to take them all down and “carpet cut” them. You’d be amazed how many projects I’ve worked on, with different architects, where this happened.)

Hi Lily;
Thank you so much for the freebie lotion I will certainly use it. You requested feedback regarding your new label, logo and packaging. I have to say that we I opened the package I realized the logo was different but barely looked at it twice. That is because I am so pleased with your product it doesn't matter how it is packaged!

I am a breast cancer survivor; finishing chemotherapy and radiation treatments a few months back. I have to tell you that my skin has never looked better!! When my skin was drying and reacting to various treatments I continued to use your products. Self image is very difficult to maintain when you have lost your hair and are nauseated. Frequently people remarked upon how good my skin looked! And I have to tell you I had been plagued by acne all of my life until I started using your products a few years back.

I agree with your philosophy of using only natural ingredients in your products. As a breast cancer survivor I am almost fanatical about what I put IN and ON my body so your products certainly fill the bill. Please continue your great work and let me know if you expand your product line. My hobby is organic gardening and if I ever find my way to Henderson I would love to check out your operation. Please continue the great work!

Fondly,
Patty Kusinski Smith

Hello!
Just a quick note to let you guys know that I think your products are the best!! Also, your customer service is terrific!

Last month I ordered one bottle of your Dry skin moisturizing cream and you sent me two as a buy one get one free deal, which I had no idea you were offering. My surprise and excitement was wonderful. Also, I have tried so many different products over the last 10 years and yours are by far the best for my skin, and I've tried Borlind and Arbonne. You've got me until I'm 80, but a great looking 80 I will be!!

Keep up the great work. Best of luck for much success and I'll be ordering again soon!
Randy

PS. the new look is great!
