About Dot & Lil

Dot & Lil is a Montréal bath and body brand created by Anne Dardick. Since 2008, it has made handmade bath milks, body oils and soap bars. The packaging has a vintage floral style that feels a little old-fashioned and pretty, like something from a grandmother's dresser.

These products suit anyone who likes a slow bath or a small daily ritual. A bath milk and a soap bar make an easy gift for a birthday, a host or a new parent. They are especially welcome in the long Quebec winter, when a warm bath is part of getting through the cold. The brand is made locally in Montreal.
