"No-Bite-Me" Black Flies!!!!

If you live in the Northeast, May means spring flowers, trees blossoming out in their beautiful green and unfortunately- BLACK FLIES. We locals call them punkies- or other names like little black devils. They are quiet but they swarm and for the claustrophobic, it’s a nightmare! Their bite is not even noticeable until AFTER the little wretches have done their dirty deed. People's reaction from the bite ranges from little red marks that itch like crazy, to anaphylaxis.

There is nothing that stops them from swarming around you like a little black dust storm unless you’re inside or use netting. Our "No-Bite-Me" cream actually keeps them from biting you. If you forget to put it on, just rub some on the bite and it stops the itching immediately. Itching the bites just makes them worse and can cause infection or even scaring.

The combination of over 18 essential oils and herbs is very distasteful to black flies. Fortunately, ‘Mr. SallyeAnder’ has produced a product that has the ability to scare the bugs away, without containing anything toxic (DEET is a common chemical found in all bug repellents, but is very toxic, "No-Bite-Me" is DEET free, and still effective). “No-Bite-Me” is safe for babies, pets, children and adults. Don't get stuck in the woods without it!
 If you're the adventurous outdoor type, runner, gardener, camper, fisher, hunter, farmer this is an essential part of your gear. You can also rub it on your ankle and pant legs to keep ticks off. It doesn't stain fabric and there is no need to smear it on in gobs- just a dot here and there- then blend it over you exposed skin. We've had folks from around the world testify to its effectiveness. It works best when used in conjunction with out "No-Bite-Me" soap (which is safe-even to use in rivers or streams) using the soap before the cream.

Using the “No-Bite-Me” soap optimizes the effectiveness of the “No-Bite-Me” cream, because it does not have to compete or mask strong smelling fragrances from other soaps, deodorants of colognes.

"No-Bite-Me" works on: blackflies, no-see'ems, mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, sandfleas, and spiders.

Sandalwood Oil

Sandalwood oil is one of the most precious and widely used raw materials in perfumery. Extracted from the heartwood and roots of Santalum album trees grown in India and Indonesia, the oil has played an important social, cultural, religious, medical and aesthetic role for millennia. In perfumery, it is valued not only for its multifaceted woody, creamy, sweet, warm and animalic natural scent, but also for its outstanding fixative and blending properties.

Sandalwood trees, which are semiparasitic evergreens, need particular climate and light conditions in order to thrive. Because of the absence of heartwood in young trees, they should not be harvested for at least 20–25 years, at which point their heartwood is separated, transformed into powder and steam distilled to produce the precious oil. This long period of growth (optimally 30–50 years), combined with the declining population of the species (due mainly to continual deforestation, smuggling and the devastating spike disease), have resulted in the dwindling availability of a good quality sandalwood oil, causing prices to soar.

 After a spectacular price increase in 1974 and a period of fluctuating moderate growth, the cost of sandalwood oil again is increasing rapidly. From $40/kg in 1973, sandalwood oil prices climbed to $210/kg a year later, then dropped back to $140/kg in 1992. Today, the material is priced at around $1,400/kg.

A state monopoly imposed on sandalwood trees and attempts to enlarge the geographic area of S. album plantations to Australia—home to another sandalwood species, Santalum spicatuma—have had a limited effect on the general trend. In perfumery today, the use of natural sandalwood oil is restricted almost exclusively to fine fragrances.
This elite oil is found in SallyeAnder's Arabian Nights bar soap, and Almond Goat Milk Swirl soap, treat yourself to one today!

Our "Little Girl" grows up!

Many of you have wondered just who our "little girl" logo is. It's our daughter Carolyn Grace. When our logo was created , she was 5 yrs old. She turned 21 (!) yesterday!

Through the years, "Gracie" has worked in the company in many ways and lots of you have met her along the way.
When she was young, she helped staple the thousands of samples we give away each year at the various shows we do. At 5, she started coming with me to the Genesee Country Museums' Agricultural Faire in NY each October. So many of you have watched her grow up! Also, as a budding artist at age 7, she drew our sign images for two of our most popular soaps! ( Sallye Sunshine and Ala Kazam Patchouli) For the past 6 years, she has accompanied us to many,many trade shows all over the US. She practiced for her driving test on a trip to Madison, Wisconsin and after getting her license drove with me one summer to the Philly Gift Show, then to the Atlanta show then to Dallas then home. What a great road trip that was.


Locally, Carolyn designs and creates our store window displays and works in day to day jobs such as wrapping soap and putting orders together.

I don't think she really understood just why I was taking her picture with the shower cap on back then, but she sure took a cute picture! Thank you Carolyn for ALL your contributions over the years and Happy Birthday!
