On the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Thomas
in the US Virgin Islands!
… where I craft a small product line of pure and natural soaps, body butters, healing salve and more, all centered around the marvelous Moringa tree!
The Moringa, known as “The Tree of Life” is the most nutritious plant on earth and has been recognized over the ages for its amazing healing properties. I grow my own Moringas from my own seeds in rich naturally fertilized soil. No pesticides are ever used and the leaves are picked fresh for every batch of the infused oil I make.
My products contain no artificial preservatives and are put together entirely by hand using only the finest natural ingredients and pure rainwater. I’m very proud of my products and hope you enjoy using them as much as I enjoy making them!

TARIFFS
On Saturday September 20, 2025 we received a notice from our local U.S. Post Office stating that all packages shipping from the U.S. Virgin Islands to the United States are now subject to tariffs put in place by Executive Order # 14193.
Per Section 2.2 of US Postal Code, United States Citizens are not subject to tariffs. However, even though we are U.S. Citizens here, the U.S. Virgin Islands falls outside of the "Customs Zone" that the United States and Puerto Rico fall into. (You can read more about this here: Merchant Marine Act of 1920.) In addition, Executive Order # 14324 has ended the De Minimis Treatment which allowed purchases of $800 or less to enter the country without tariffs. (You can read more about EO#14324 here: End of De Minimis.) These tariffs have huge implications for many businesses within the U.S. Virgin Islands who ship customer purchases, and the tariffs must be paid to get the goods in the hands of customers.
Customs and Border Control is requiring us to use an online app to pay for the tariffs and associated fees before the U.S. Post Office will accept packages. There is a processing fee that must be paid to obtain a clearance code for each order,
My online orders are small and I’ve yet to delve into this confusion to see how it will affect my little business and online customers but I’ll update as soon as I have more information.
