OUR HISTORY
Born and raised in the Mediterranean area, Joseph and Helena were surrounded with the wild herbs, the aroma and the beauty of the land of olive. Both Joseph and Helena’s families pressed olives to make olive oil for cooking and creating soaps. As a young man, Joseph helped his family press olives to make olive oil for the handmade soap. Joseph’s family used the homemade soap in the bath as shampoo, body wash and for shaving.
As a little girl, Helena played in the fields of the village in which she was raised. Helena became familiar with the wild herbs that grew in the fields and learned how to use them in cooking and soap making.
After they were married, Joseph and Helena opened a boutique, which quickly grew to a second boutique. They sold fine handmade and crafted items included soaps, perfumes, gifts, handmade embroidery and offered professional tailoring.
After moving with their two sons to America, Joseph and Helena began making handmade soap, upon reminiscing about their youthful days of soap making, Joseph and Helena found soaping making therapeutic and began improving upon his traditional recipes. Friends and family raved about the soaps that they received as gifts. Joseph left some samples with a few specialty shops. The soaps were so well received that Lilie De Vallée was born.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Thank you Helena and Joseph for suggesting the Organic Eye Gel for my Eye lids! My Right Eye lid had a rash that was red and scaly. Your Eye Gel allowed the itchiness to calm down, the scaly skin to become smooth, and the redness disappeared. I used it two to three times daily, and it took about a week to get rid of the rash. It also tightened up the eye lid which today gives me a more healthy, glowing and tightened skin look! Plus when I did itch my eye lids, my contact lens did not get all creamy like some of the other eye creams have done. I appreciate your help and know that others would greatly benefit from your wonderful skin line! Thank you again for all your help and for really caring about your customers! You have the BOMB skin product line! EVERY ONE would benefit from this awesome skin line!
Face and Neck Firming Lotion - simply stated, this works. I noticed a lessening of my fine facial wrinkles after a few days use, and continuing use has made a real difference in decreasing wrinkles. It also has given my skin a subtle, but noticeable, healthy glow. Another stellar product that is now indispensable for me. Thank you!
This "Hyaluronic acid" is very healthful for my face! When I apply the serum to my face and neck, I can soon feel the difference. I can brush my hand over my skin and the surface is smooth and elastic. It helps the appearance of my skin greatly; the skin tone is more even and healthy-looking. I love this serum!
I have been purchasing your soaps for years and love them (I've met you at Issaquah farmers market and Salmon days among other places - and always buy lots of soaps for teacher gifts as well!) Recently I began using your Vitamin C Serum, your retinol moisturizer and the Turbo Ageless cream. Seriously love them all!! Wish I had started using a long time ago. Thank you so much.
"These products are so wonderful! I am a new customer, but enjoy using the creams and have just purchased some skin care products. Their service is tremendous."
