The roots of Apple Island Naturals
In the heart of Golden, BC, lies a hidden gem for lovers of natural products. Apple Island Naturals has carved out a unique space in the wellness market, appealing to those who yearn for purity in their skincare routines and lives.
Journey through the history of this remarkable small business, explore the importance of natural products, and explore the range of goods Apple Island Naturals has cultivated to nurture your skin and spirit.
Lind, who moved to Golden in 2005, began her soap business more as a hobby than anything else.
“It just blossomed from there. I didn’t intend to make a business, but it just worked,” Lind said.
Why choose Apple Island Naturals
After much reading and trial and error, Lind has created some amazing creations. These creations use natural ingredients purchased only from Canadian suppliers, which has helped Lind’s product become very popular in the area.
“I use local beeswax and honey in a few of my products, but everything else is vegan.” Her products include soaps, body oils, and lip balms, all created by Lind, ensuring no chemicals anywhere.
“I have had people with skin conditions like eczema tell me that my products help. I truly think it is because there are no chemicals at all. And I make everything as good as I possibly can. There is no cutting corners.”
This hard-working attitude and high-quality assurance have made 12 different stores start selling her creations. This passion for her business shows in everything she has made. Beautiful colours and smells draw people to her booth at the Farmers’ Market.
“My soap travels more than I do,” Lind joked. People send it to other countries, and tourists like it, too. I also make amenity-sized soaps for lodges.”
Handcrafted Soaps
Their soaps are a favourite with locals and visitors, each bar lovingly handcrafted to ensure the highest quality. These soaps come in various scents and formulations, catering to different skin types and preferences. From the invigorating aroma of peppermint to the soothing touch of lavender, there’s something for everyone.
Nourishing Oils
Beyond soaps, the company offers an impressive range of oils to moisturize, replenish, and revive your skin. These oils, filled with the goodness of nature, provide a deep nourishing experience, leaving your skin feeling soft, smooth, and radiant.

Lind’s recipes are her own, allowing her to work with customers to create products without allergens and using primarily natural ingredients.
“I work with my customers to ensure they get something that works for them. In return, they are supporting a local business.”
