Stockus has been an old saying in my family for years. It represents a strong family bond especially among the women. Stockus is believed to be a Norwegian word that came from my Norwegian grandfather and was used frequently by my grandmother. Although we could never find its literal translation Grandma seemed to use it in place of words like “wonderful,” "get over it,” "whatever," or, "love it". Whenever she said "oh Stockus!,” we usually knew what she meant. Since my grandmother passed away, the women in my family get together every year on her birthday and honor her memory. We call it Stockus!

Stockus products were first made for my own personal use and for my friends, family and massage clientele. Because of my skin sensitivity and history of migraines aggravated by synthetic aromas, I decided to make my own products, finding the best ingredients for natural skin care and homemade remedies for simple ailments. I use the most pure and therapeutic ingredients I can find that work for all skin types, all sourced locally. The most popular items among Stockus clientele include renewal face cream, healing skin salves, lip balm, bath fizzes, and room and body sprays.
