Hi Viola Team. Your sun and wind and your lavender liquid soap - which I use for many things these days including giving the shower the once over and for keeping my bathroom sink spick and span and mould free on the grouting - must be the lavender oil, also for keeping my hands silky smooth and moisturised - are still firm favourites with us. Keep up the good work and I hope you all have a fabulous Christmas and good luck for 2013. going to try your perfume oil too. Kindest regards and best wishes J.U Gisborne. 5/12/12

I was visiting a new beauty therapist last week, who commented on my young looking skin, said she was shocked to know I was 70 years old!! When she asked me what kind of skin care I used, I was more than happy to tell her "Viola". She had not heard of Viola before and was going to look up your website as soon as she arrived home. I think you could be getting another customer!! Hope all is going well, Kind regards, P.C. Hampden 20/11/2012

Good morning I am writing to say that I really like the new formula for the 'Rejuvenating Day Lotion 100ml Glass Pump' which I have used consistently for quite a while.

The previous one, which I was using until it ran out, was quite yellow and watery while this new formula has a nice consistency and is white - quite different but still nice and natural which is my priority for products :) Many thansk K.E. Arrowtown 12/9/2012

________________________________________________________________________

I have started using your products and I am absolutely loving it so far. I also purchased the anti-acne oil as I still get breakouts (at the age of 34, it is really annoying) and it seems to be working wonders even after 2 days! In the past, I have tried all sorts of products full of acids and other chemicals but with no lasting results, so I'm crossing fingers this might be the answer I was looking for. Plus, it is such a relief to finally get rid of all those chemical products! Kind regards, E.T. 7/2/2012

Congratulations, Janine, Anne Marie, Pam and Louise for being part of the Viola team.
Thank you Pam for your inspiration and drive to create Viola. Grateful appreciation. Marilyn - October 2011

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Happy Birthday to you.... Dear Janine, Pam,  Anne-Marie and Louise, Thank you so much for all the excellent products over the 25 years.  I really wonder what I would do without them.  They are marvellous and I try and recommend them to other people.  If I don't order some direct from you, its because I can now buy them at the Organic Living shop in Windsor, Invercargill.  My main items are the Avocado Deluxe Cream and the Viola Shampoo.

I hope you all have a happy time on your birthday and all the best for the future. Thank you once again for being who your are and believing in such a great line of organic products.  They are very much appreciated. Kind regards, Veronica Christie - October 2011

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow, love the Aiyana, hubby gave me the fragrance atomiser for Christmas. Gorgeous packaging. I already had the oil, the atomiser has more fragrance and lasts longer. S. N. Hamilton - January 2011

Hi to all you lovely people at Viola.
Many thanks for all the beautiful products I have purchased over the years, and the confidence I have had in using them, knowing them to be toxic free. Every good wish for your continuing success in the years to come. HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIOLA. 25 GREAT YEARS. Kindest regards, Pat C - October 2011

Happy 25th Birthday. I am a recent user of your products and I love them all. My latest purchase was the baking soda deodorant. It's excellent. Angela Hill - October 2011

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HAPPY 25TH BIRTHDAY – VIOLA!!  My first contact with Viola was around December 1989 – coming up 22 years ago!!  At that time I read with interest a two page article in the December 4, 1989 N.Z. Women’s Weekly (copy of which I still have in my ‘Viola’ file!!) about Pam’s (Janine’s Mums) herbal products.  To this day I continue to purchase Viola products and over the years I have recommended Viola to all of my friends. Top of my list Viola product is the Silky Eye Cream. It is fantastic for keeping the skin hydrated and comfortable around the eyes.  Thank you Viola for all your wonderful products – keep up the good work. Kindest regards, Raewyn Prior - October 2011

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hair Styling Wax - no more frizz
Although this said it was designed for guys I thought I would try it on my short to medium, curly, prone to frizz hair. Easily the best product I've ever used - and I've tried just about everything in 20 years of hair product purchasing!! Does not leave the waxy residue I though it might. Has just the right amount of hold for a natural look. I use in conjunntion with 'Viola Organics shampoo' and do not use a seperate conditioner and my hair is in better condition than it ever has been. Thank you for making this product. K.M. Auckland  - November 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Janine and crew. Yes we are still here at the shop and selling your lovely products. Lots of people jumping on the band wagon and trying to tempt us with their products. However they have a 'hard act to follow' to come up to your standard. Thank you for being there. Linda, Arcadia Organics, Motueka - September 2011

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Aiyana Fragrance its just the most stunning and devine fragrance :-) Thanks, Rosie - August 2010

"Hi Team!" 
This new Hydrating Cleansing Lotion cleanser has the best consistency! Not too "gluggy" and not too thin. It has a great silky feel too. Best of all I love the fact that the products in it aren't harmful. S.N. Hamilton - March 2009

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun & Wind Cream

My husband in a farmer and after doing a few home tests on various natural sunscreen products he is now sticking to this one. He likes the handy tottle to take with him for the day too. I like it because I know it is doing his skin good as well as protecting it and I love the way when I use it that it does not turn my skin white. We have not got sun burn as long as we always put this on before sun exposure. Great product! J.U. Gisborne - November 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Janine, By chance I was reading an old Next magazine the other day and was interested in an article about you as I am looking for aspiration to set up my own lighting business. "WOW! J.C. Auckland - August 2009

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note from Viola Organics; find out for yourself why our customers have rated the new Hydrating Cleansing Lotion (launched mid July 09) as simply the best they have tried. A survey completed has rated this product between 9 & 10 out of 10 for feel, cleansing ability, consistency, ability to wash off, fragrance, feel of skin after use. We are thrilled at the response.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Olive Oil Soap

After trialing the new soaps, we've been super impressed. Congrats on an excellent long lasting product. Has a lovely natural smell from the olive oil :) W.W. Te Awamutu - September 2010

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roll-On Deodorant Evening Breeze

I wanted to say a huge THANK YOU. I bought your deodorant (Roll-On Evening Breeze) and it's the first organic deodorant I have bought that actually works. Well done! I feel tremendous relief that I no longer have to use those harmful chemical deodorants, and I am positively thrilled that I no longer smell like I haven't had a shower all day (even though I had applied other deodorants up to 10 times a day!) yippee! I think your deodorant is amazing!! and I have told all my friends about it, keep up the good work. T.M. Christchurch - September 2010

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just wanted to let you know how much I love the new Hydrating Cleansing Lotion you sent me. I cleansed half my face with yours and the other with Dr Hauschka cleansing milk.  The Viola cleanser cleaned my face far better than the Haushka did.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been using Viola Organic products for past 5 years and have recommended them to several friends. The new fragrance "Aiyana" is comparable to perfumes purchased in Eze France at the Fragonard factory and at a fraction of the price. The Sun and Wind Cream is a family favourite throughout the summer months in the far north, I use it daily like a moisturizer for whole body, face and hands, never get burnt, skin goes a lovely light tan and moisturised at same time. Facial oil I use as a serum and it soaks into the skin and particularly good for the neck. Keep up the great work in making organic skin products without the usual chemicals. D.G. Warkworth - December 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AIYANA natural fragrance

Amazing!....sold half of the Aiyana Fragrance Oil with 30 minutes of putting it on the shelf. You were right it is fabulous, please send some more. Linda, Arcadia Organics, Motueka.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks again for doing what you do. I really understand how consuming is is running a business with all the government compliance around staffing / tax / ACC, dealing with suppliers, the logistical issues of NZ being so remote. And that you do it and provide such incredibly high quality ethical products at extremely affordable prices I truly admire. K.M. Lower Hutt - May 2011

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hydrating Cleansing Lotion

I love the smell and the texture is a mix of both a cream and an gel and it really feels as though it is removing everything it should and nothing it shouldn't.WELL impressed. Well done once again you clever Viola girls! Well impressed. J.U. Gisborne - May 2010
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I love the new bar soap - it is gorgeous.  Leaves hands feeling really conditioned as well as clean and fresh.  Another winner for me. Also the hydrating cleanser is rather special isn't it?  What a lovely product.  I really like the little safety catch that slots over the pump too to keep it closed.  Fab - well done again team! J.U. Gisborne - January 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have used Viola Bicarbonate Deodorant for quite a few years, and my husband Ian who usually has trouble finding a deodorant that works for him, has been using it since the beginning of this year, It’s truly great, very effective works the whole day, i.e. a round of golf on a hot day, easy to apply and feels so nice and dry, light fresh fragrance so does not clash with your body fragrance. "I love it" S.L. Wellington March 2009

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been using Violas Bicarbonate Deodorant for approx 6 years, after a breast cyst scare turned me away from the everyday aluminium deodorants.  I love it, and find that is it great for everyday use. The perfume is just Divine, and the screw top container travel very well.  Though when under heavy workloads, ie tramping, yoga, etc I feel like a second dose in the day is good! Thank you for such great healthy products, and really speedy delivery, and safe credit card use, on the internet orders.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, just wanted to compliment your company on using glass where possible this makes me think a company is serious about not only what we put on our skin but the enviorment as well. Thank you. A.G. New Zealand - June 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Silky Eye Cream

I started at a beauty therapist a few months back who did an analysis on a skin scanner and told me I had severely dehydrated skin around my eyes. I was encouraged to buy an eye product worth $130! I started using Viola's Silky Eye Cream and when she used the scanner again last week she gasped and said "what have you been using on your eyes - I've never seen such a big improvement in that much time before?". Enough said!!! thanks 4 a gr8t product! L.G. Hamilton - March 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Go girls!"

We stayed in a motel and when I got home I realised how dry and cracked my hands were getting.  Why?  Because I had not been using my Viola Liquid Soap.  So I began to use it again as I was home and didn't even need to use handcream.  Now my hands are restored.  How amazing is that?

My farmer hubbie is a converted Viola face and eye cream person now too - but shhhh don't tell anyone!

Thank goodness for natural products and girls like you making it easy for us at home to access them and stop having to buy all that chemical nastiness at the supermarket.

Go girls! J. & R. Gisborne - November 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sure kept the mosquitos away!"

Really enjoyed your article in July's edition of NEXT magazine. Re: Gone Ourdoor Spray, I used it last month during my South African travels - it was fantastic, sure kept the mosquitos away! Re: Silky Eye Cream - I've been using it for 9 years now and still raving about it!! Keeps the wrinkles away!  R.P. Auckland - June 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I am absolutely thrilled"

I have used Rosehip Elite Cream on one side of my very wrinkly neck for a month and the results are absolutely amazing. The side I have used the cream on has smoothed out as if it has been ironed. The difference was apparent within a week. I am absolutely thrilled. I have never experienced anything like this in my life. Rosehip Elite is lovely to use and I'm recommending it to all my friends. Keep up the good work. A. R. Whangarei - December 2002

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Thoroughly delighted"

Just a note to say absolutely wonderful to have, just last week, discovered your products. Just arrive back (36yr in UK). Used Dr Hauschka there, your products actually better. Beautiful, sublime to use and so far effect and skin response wonderful. Thoroughly delighted to have discovered your products and all made even better given your principles and ethos. Best of wishes. S.G. Northland - June 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Her friend had asked her if she had had botox!"

Dear Janine, wanted to share with you an interesting anecdote. One of our customers bought some Rosehip Elite Cream and for 1 week did half of her face with that and half with a Dr Hauschka product. She came into the shop and asked my assistant which she thought had worked best, and apparently it was very noticeable that she had fewer lines on the Viola half. Her friend had asked her if she had had botox! Thought this would please and amuse you..... Ingrid, Only Natural, Timaru - April 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I got badly burnt on my cleavage - my face was fine!"

Your sunscreen really works, I put your Sun & Wind Cream on my face once to go out and watch cricket with a friend, but didnt put it on my cleavage. I got badly burnt on my cleavage – my face was fine!  K.F. Invercargill - February 2004

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"WOW!"

I have to say I have just used the Viola Shampoo and Aubrey Organics Conditioner I bought from you and WOW! Its amazing to use a conditioner that doesn't make my hair go 'boofie' I'm stoked - thank you!!And my hair is as soft as a babies - lol.  S.G. Wanganui - October 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm very impressed."

I received my products yesterday WOW!!!....Tried the Honey Facial Mask in bath last night followed by the Anti-Acne Oil. This morning I've got on the Rosehip Elite Cream. All smell so nice and natural and feel so good on. I'm very impressed.

P.S. next pay I'm going to get the Cleanser and Toner - can't wait. K.F. Christchurch - July 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd just like to say that your products are easy to use, not over-scented and THEY WORK (that makes a pleasant change when I remember how much I've spent over the years on cosmetics which promise far more than they deliver). Thanks so much. F.B. Rangiora - January 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Very economical"

Jojoba Body Lotion Very economical, even more than the creams. Smooth, lovely fragrance and such a good feeling on the skin, face or body. It lasted 6 months used daily! M. I. Whangarei - July 2002

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I just can't believe it"

I have been suffering from 'adult' acne for a couple of months now and it's driven me up the wall. Well I'm absolutely gobsmacked with the results. I used a little Anti-Acne Oil on Friday night and Saturday morning thought that the areas looked really good. Used again on Saturday night and on Sunday morning, you could hardly see where the pimples had been. At the moment my skin looks amazing, I just can't believe it, all gone in a couple of days. I wish I had had this oil a fews years ago when going through the 'change', unfortunately the spots lasted for well over a year, but I was determined not to use conventional medicines and they eventually disappeared until recently. S.B. Auckland - November 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"My husband has a very sensitive skin"

You asked how I liked Rosehip Elite Cream as I'd ordered 3 more jars. My husband has a very sensitive skin and this is the only cream that he can use now. And we are delighted with it. I find it firms up my skin, it is a lovely, lovely cream and I'll be giving some for Christmas presents.  J. Booth Auckland - October 2002

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I saw Viola in an Organic shop, bought some and loved it. My 17 year old daughter has very sensitive skin, has tried lot's of 'natural' products and is over the moon with Viola. Thanks for your excellent service, an easy to use Website and fast delivery - cheers!  P.C. Christchurch - October 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I competed in a 50K-endurance walk race, my first venture into competitive walking, taking 3rd place in the woman's. Next morning my leg muscles were rather stiff, so I massaged the Arnica Ointment in. 1/2hr later when I got up there was an incredible improvement - about 80%, my leg muscles were no longer stiff.

"I was so desperate I bought a product worth $106.00. Your cream surpasses that any day"

Elderflower Skin Cream and Calendula Cleanser - these two products have to be the best value for money I have ever tried. My skin was tight and uncomfortable.

I leave it in the cupboard to remind me big money spent is not the answer. A.P. Chatham Islands

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"nappy rash to school sores"

As a Public Health Nurse in the north I advised the use of these creams (Calendula Baby Cream & Calendula Ointment ) by many of the families that were referred to me. The creams were well received and in many instances had startling results from Nappy Rash to 'School Sores'. The clients were most impressed with the results and I would not hesitate to recommend your products in the future. R.H. Maungakaramea

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dermatitis"

Calendula Ointment has worked wonders just in a matter of days. My husband got Dermatitis bad just over 3 years ago. He has had BK Lotion with cortisone and anti-histamine tablets for itching. His skin was in an awful mess just about driving him mad. A.W. Stewart Island

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Severely cracked skin on heels and toes"

Our Dr remarked on the condition of my mother's skin. He had previously suggested she stay indoors and use a veil when going out. After using Elderflower Night Cream and Sun & Wind Cream both our skins have improved wonderfully. Severely cracked skin on heels and toes I have suffered with for many years and had all manner of treatment from Dr's, Chiropractors, Herbalists, Chemists etc!!. They are so deep I can never go without socks and my fingers always had band aids on, they bleed and one toe had a crack from the quick right over the top of the toe and down under the pad. I used Elderflower Night Cream and it was like magic. In 3 days they healed up and are no longer painful. L.L. Opotiki

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I didn't like to interfere but I'm glad I did now"

In the 5 days my daughter has been using Anti-Acne Oil we noticed an improvement. I had her using my Cream Skin Cleanser as well for the last 3 weeks and that has helped as well. I wish we had started her on your products a year back, it's just that she was under a specialist using various creams etc. I didn't like to interfere but I'm glad I did now. R.S. Stewart Island

"I have Lichen Planus on legs"

I have (lichen planus) on legs not much is known about it. I've had it 3 years and it is very itchy. The Calendula Ointment has not only stopped the itch but the lesions are getting less every day. I.S. Kaitaia

"My skin was getting like a dried prune"

My skin was getting like a dried prune but now it is like the first rose of summer thanks to Elderflower Night Cream. Gave my brother your Lip Balm. He had terrible dry, cracked lips. He's a livestock salesman and plays outdoor bowls. He's asking for more and some for his bowling mates. Thinks it's marvellous and said to say a big thank you. M.L. Taranaki

Swedish Bitters Ointment

First of all thank you so much for introducing me to Swedish Bitters Ointment - I have been unable to show my legs for nearly two years due to eczema, now with over 1 month on Swedish Bitters I am no longer scratching my skin complaint nor do I feel like it is there anymore, thank you so much. The only thing now is that I have purple scars where the eczema has been and was wondering whether Viola has any products for this. Thanks again for all the help. T.C. North Island - July 2004

"beautiful skin back and peaceful nights"

I have to say that the Calendula Baby Cream is amazing. The first time I used the cream the redness and irritation of my son's eczema literally disappeared within a few minutes. I used the Viola liquid soap for his bath followed by the cream and within a week alltraces of the eczema had gone. So thanks heaps, he has his beautiful skin back and peaceful nights. H.B.

 Hi, I live in Queenstown and when I was looking for somewhere who sold Hema Face Oil was put onto your range of products. I have been using Trilogy facial products over the past couple of years but decided to try your products since the person who spoke so highly of your range was not selling them. I have brought the Face Cream, Moisturiser, Night Oil, Toner and Face Mask and have been using for two months now. Well I can honestly say my skin has never looked and felt so good. I am so grateful to have stumbled across such a great product. P.U. Queenstown - January 2010

I purchased some of your products, received them today and have tried the moisturiser and cleanser. My God! the velvety texture and the amazing smell feels so fantastic for a Mum who is feeling pretty exhausted from nights up with the boys. S.L. Wellington - March 2009

I was also really impressed with the personal notes attached, using recycled packaging from other local businesses, the important notice leaflet - very smart and very green and excellent service. You have a new loyal customer. L.E. Auckland - February 2011
