St. Francis Herb Farm was pleased to learn that two of our products had received special recognition at the 2017 Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA) trade show in Toronto. The annual National Nutrition Awards are given out every year in a large number of categories. The two gold awards were for Best Herb and Best Face Care products.
Best Herb Gold Award – Strest
Strest is a unique formula that helps to strengthen the nervous system and reduce anxiety. Our line of Strest is comprised of three different liquid tincture products — 50 ml, 100 ml and 250 ml sizes (For information on why we craft tincture please read more here). Also included are our Strest capsules.
Best Face Care Gold Award - Rosehip Oil
Our certified organic Rose Hip Oil was awarded Gold by National Nutrition for Best Face Care. This well-known skin cell and collagen regenerator is combined with Rosemary extract and olive oil. It contains high amounts of vitamins and fatty acids. Produced from the small fruits that surround the rose flower, this oil is gentle on your skin and can be used topically on its own or in other cosmetic and natural products.
We are humbled and grateful for the recognition and are committed to continually crafting top quality herbal products.
