Hi, I'm Cindy Allyn, creator of Farmbody, and I'd like to give you a handshake (or these days a fist bump) and a big hearty welcome. My bath & body shop is located in the heart of the black dirt region of the Hudson Valley, New York; rich in agriculture and hardworking people. Since 2006, I've been crafting wholesome skincare products to help people with allergies, dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, and the effects of chemotherapy. In all, we have over 30 products in the shop available, if you're ever in Middletown, stop by at the Emporium Square Artisan Market and say hello. 

My artisan story began out of necessity and survival...

For over a decade I was a medical massage therapist, a spa owner, a nail technician, and completely self-employed. My hands were my living. Out of nowhere, I developed contact dermatitis (eczema) with profusely itchy, oozing skin on my hands. It was awful and about to put an end to my career.

Work became unbearable. I went to the dermatologist and they put me on topical steroids but the problem just continued and you can’t live on that stuff! I went through skin testing and they couldn’t figure it out. 

My skin was thinning on the steroids and the condition of my hands was not improving: it was absolutely maddening. In order to save my hands, my sanity, and my career I decided to do my own research and so the journey began. 

I took classes and completely immersed myself in the natural skin care industry...

Soon I was creating products in a way that no one else was, using probiotics in a way to bring about healing. Cut to the chase: I healed my hands, launched a whole new career to help others and I am loving every minute of this journey. 

If you're suffering from skin conditions like I was then you've come to the right place. I suggest everyone starts by ditching the chemicals! Start with one of our soaps and be sure to get a Butter Me Up Buttercup for your hands. These 2 simple changes will yield results and lead you on a path to healthier skin. At Farmbody, we have you covered from head to hoof! 

Thank you so much for your support.
