Skin CareMany of my customers at farmer's markets and at the herb store prefer to use simple, preservative-free products with more natural ingredients: oils, vegetable butters, bee products, herbs and essential oils. For them, I make anhydrous products like whipped shea butter, lanolin salve, massage oils, face serums and lotion bars that use Vitamin E and rosemary leaf extract as anti-oxidants. People always ask which product for dry skin they should use: I think you just have to try different ones and see which works best for you.
I always label my products with a complete ingredient list so if there is an ingredient that you want to avoid, please read the labels carefully or ask me about it. Since some of the oils that I use may be processed in facilities where peanuts are also processed, be cautious (as with any new product) and do a patch test on the inner arm at the elbow to test for allergies. |

Deodorant
|
My customers love this product, an aluminum free cream deodorant that is effective and non-greasy. It has a combination of odor-fighting ingredients in a base of organic extra-virgin coconut oil, mango butter and beeswax. I’ve kept the bicarbonate of soda to a minimum and increased its efficacy with soothing zinc oxide, anti-bacterial essential oils and activated charcoal. Although it is not an antiperspirant, arrowroot starch and powdered silk help absorb moisture. A small amount, about the size of a small pea, is scooped from the jar and rubbed into the underarm area after showering. Customers tell me that a 2.2 ounce jar will last for several months, and that it is more effective than any other “natural” type deodorant that they had tried. The color in the jar is light grey, but it rubs on clear, and so far no one has complained about the activated charcoal staining their undergarments (but that might vary according to use and individual body chemistry, so please be aware of that). Available unscented or in two different essential oil blends: Bergamot/lemongrass/rose geranium or Lavandin/lemongrass/ patchouli/tea tree. $9.91 ea. 2.2 oz jar

Whipped Shea Butter
Small (2 oz.) size, above; large (4 oz.) size below
|
Unrefined Fair Trade shea nut butter is blended with essential oils or fragrance, a touch of coconut oil and Vitamin E to make whipped butters that apply smoothly and absorb well. Customers with curly hair tell us that it works as a deeply moisturizing leave-in hair treatment as well. Please be aware that shea butter melts at temperatures above 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If you order shea butter in the summer, it may arrive melted. If this happens, put the closed jar in the refrigerator until it solidifies. It will lose the "whipped" quality but maintains the emollient properties of the butter. Available in Dragon's Lair, Earth Rose, Jasmine Vanilla, Lavender, Marrakesh, Pink Sugar, Sandalwood Vanilla, Unscented, Vanilla. $7.55 (2 oz. jar) or $14.15 (4 oz. jar) |

A very effective lanolin balm with mango butter, almond oil, lecithin and beeswax. This product contains emollients that soften dry, cracked cuticles and restore oil to your nails. Tea tree oil and lavender give it a pleasant, not too medicinal scent. Designed originally for cuticle care, we have also used it as a hand salve with great success - we sell a lot to nurses, artists, mechanics, gardeners, and cooks...anyone who works with their hands will appreciate this product. A little goes a long way.
