Body Care from Mystic Water Soap

Skin Care

Many 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

I’m very pleased with this new 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. I can only ship this product in the winter - some settling may occur in transit and will not affect performance.

Available in Lavender, Earth Rose, Sandalwood Vanilla, and Unscented.

Shea butter melts at warm temperatures so it cannot be shipped in the summer.

$7.55 (2 oz. jar) or $13.21 (4 oz. jar)

Lotion Bar

Massage/Lotion Bar made with three different exotic moisturizing butters, sweet almond oil, lavender essential oil and Vitamin E, it melts on contact with the skin’s warmth – use as a hand lotion or massage bar - good for expectant mothers’ tummies too!

$5.66 1.2 oz purse-sized tin

Body & Dusting Powders

Three types of talc-free body powder to absorb excess moisture and give a silky smooth feeling to the skin. The first is made with arrowroot, corn starch, white clay and powdered silk, scented to match many of our bath soaps and perfumes (Scented Body Powder). For odor control, try the version with baking soda, either unscented or peppermint menthol (Deodorant Powder). For soothing delicate skin, choose my Herbal Body Powder with slippery elm and zinc oxide powder.

Scented Body Powder (#1)

This is the powder that every woman used to have in a container on her dressing table with a big puff to powder her body with after bathing. Our version is talc-free, made with arrowroot powder, cornstarch, kaolin clay, powdered silk, tapioca starch and fragrance. It absorbs excess moisture, prevents chafing, and adds a touch of subtle fragrance to the skin. Some popular fragrances include: Amber, Jasmine, Lavender, Lilac, Rose

$10.38 4 oz shaker

Deodorant Powder (#2)

This powder is primarily for promoting dryness and odor control. Made with a base of arrowroot powder and kaolin clay, it absorbs excess moisture while bicarbonate of soda provides deodorizing power. Unscented is a good choice is you prefer a fragrance-free option while Mentholated is for those who like the feeling of freshness that peppermint essential oil and menthol provides. Both versions contain zinc oxide and allantoin for easing minor skin irritations.

$10.38 4 oz shaker

Herbal Body Powder (#3)

For soothing very delicate skin, choose my Herbal Body Powder: arrowroot, kaolin clay, slippery elm, zinc oxide and allantoin, with helichrysum (immortelle) and chamomile essential oils.

$13.92 4 oz shaker

Cuticle & Hand Balm

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.
