"There are so many things I love about Sappho Cosmetics - I love the richness of the eye colors, I love the feel and smell of the foundations - and last but not least I love that I'm not putting any harmful chemicals on my skin. Luxurious ecoBeauty. "
Leisha Hailey - L-word Actress
"Having to wear toxic make-up every day on set was a huge challenge for my sensitive skin. When JoAnn formulated Sappho it was like my skin could breathe for the first time. This make-up feels like an extension of your own skin."
KJM Customer from P.A.
"One word - fabulous! I love these products. Love how they go on and love how they feel and appear on my skin. Not to mention that I feel so much safer wearing them than most other cosmetics because they are free of all those nasty synthetics"
- Linda Choi
JoAnn, your products are amazing. Just about everything bothers my skin. I break out and I hate that feeling that something is just sitting on my skin. Luckily I found your products - They smell like heaven and go on smoothly. My skin appears completely natural - no mask like look. And the colors are so natural. I LOVE SAPPHO!

Sappho is the first make-up line that where I can confidently say, that the ethics and integrity behind this line are the real deal. Its rare to see a business founded on this purity. JoAnn Fowler, created this product because she saw, first hand, that the ingredients being used in most commercial brands are directly related to various cancers. This fact, is totally unacceptable and it is sad that so many women do not know this. I watched as Jo, painstakingly created this line from scratch, working only with toxin free ingredients, making sure that her product was ethically produced and environmentally packaged. I can't ever imagine using another foundation. It glides on my skin and gives it a dewy sheen. The concealer works wonderfully. I love this line and am proud to wear such a great product made by someone who has taken a stand in action against the cosmetic giants."
Lori Gibson - Customer Toronto Ontario
"I have been using the Sappho Cosmetic line for 1 month now and I love it - my skin loves it. I have people commenting on how great I look. The makeup is so subtle that they don't immediately point it out. Comments are I look fresh, alert and 'together'. Thanks JoAnn! I'm a goddess!"
Kate French - L-word Actress
"This (liquid) foundation is the first I've wanted to use on a daily basis. It doesn't irritate my sensitive skin and allows my freckles to still peek through, while masking flaws! I feel like my skin benefits from Sappho foundation instead of contaminating it like other coverups I've tried. I love it"
Laura Andrews - Customer Ottawa Ontario
"When I started wearing Sappho cosmetics and liquid foundation, my friends noticed a difference... They said my face looked younger and fresh! I really love the metallic smokey shadows. And not only am I enjoying my makeup with proper brushes, but I am especially happy and proud to use products that will not harm myself or the environment!"

SAPPHO CIRCA 630 B.C.
Considered to be one of the great Greek lyricists and one of the few known female poets, Sappho’s poetry was all about love. It is thought she married a prosperous merchant, bore a daughter Cleis and spent much time studying the arts on the isle of Lesbos, at the time a cultural center. Sappho was exiled to Greece for a time due to political activities in her family.
As with most 7th century poetry, her works were performed with a lyre. She composed her own often sensual and melodic music and refined the now called Sapphic meter. Being one of the first poets writing from a first person point of view she wrote about love and loss in her own life and described how deeply she was personally affected.
Sappho’s poetry is primarily written for and about women. Much of her work was directed to some of the many women who came to educate her in the arts. They are for the most part reflective poems of love and yearning. When the women left finally to marry in Greece she often wrote their wedding songs.
It appears that in the 7th century her poetry was not condemned for it’s homoerotic content although later on in history this changed. Plato honored her work in ancient times and today she remains an important literary and cultural figure. What is left of her poetry still remains a challenge for literary historians but 2000 years later – scholars are still writing, honoring and studying both her and her poetry.
