Body Care Menu
Pictures are available through the link in the bottom menu. All products are available in unscented, lavender, orange, peppermint, jasmine, or chamomile. I frequently blend the standard scents with a secondary scent. I will confirm all scent combinations before mailing. Rose scents are available but cost $2 extract because I use attar of roses, not a synthetic oil which is very expensive.The only preservatives in these products are Myrrh, Grapefruit Seed Extract, and/or Benzoin. While this reduces the chemicals in your health care product, it does mean that these products do not have indefinite shelf lives. Soaps and other dry products should last for many months, while hair rinses and mouthwashes are likely to go bad within two or three weeks. Oils, creams, and lotions can be stored in the refrigerator to increase shelf life. This is especially recommended for products you do not use daily and if you live in particularly warm climes, such as Texas. Please do not store these products in a warm and sunny place - it will decrease their shelf life substantially!
Please indicate if you have known allergies to anything. All colors are determined by the colors of the ingredients - no extra colors are added. Add $1 for each custom order. Large orders may qualify for discounts.
Product of the Month Specials
For each Product of the Month, you (or your recipient) receive a different version of the product each month. There are four different Product of the Month categories: Soap, Lotion, Bath, Fragrance. Order one Product of the Month for $50, two for $95, or all four for $180.
There is also a Gift of the Month!! The Gift of the Month special consists of a different gift set every month for $210. This is a perfect gift for a special person or yourself. For an extra fee, you can have the gift set sent to a different person each month. Customers with a standing Product of the Month order can reduce further shipping fees by requesting new orders be sent with their Product of the Month shipping.
Soaps
All soaps available as either a
bar or as a liquid. Bar soaps are 100% olive oil based (also called
Castile Soap) or a combination of olive, palm and coconut oils. Liquid
soaps are 80% olive oil, 20% coconut oil based. You can also purchase
bars of the primary, pre-milled soap or custom order a primary soap batch
with your combination of oils.
Lotions
& Creams
These lotions and creams are typically
almond, grapeseed or sunflower oil based, but may be custom ordered with
other oils. The water extracts can be made using any combination
of herbs. I do not add essential oils to regular lotions and creams
unless requested. A lotion is an emulsification of water and
oils and is close in consistency to store bought lotions. A cream
is closer to the consistency of a salve but not as solid.
Balms &
Ointments
Balms and ointments are similar
to lotions and creams except they are not blended with water. They
tend to be heavier than creams and often solid or semi-solid are room temperature.
The colored lip gloss is made by mixing the Aloe Vera Lip Gloss with various
berries to generate the color.
Bath Products
All bath products available in standard fragrances - unscented, lavender,
rose, orange, peppermint, jasmine, or chamomile.
Salts
Salts are made with a base of half
epsom salts and half sea salts and then scented with essential oils.
Custom blends or other fragrancies available at no extra cost.
8 oz. $6, 16 oz. $11, larger quantities available
Cookies
Cookies are mostly salts and mixed
with eggs, herbs and essential oils and baked in the shape of cookies.
You just add 1 - 3 cookies to your bath.

add specified amount of boiling water and mix and then pour in your bath.
Specify your base and your fragrance when ordering.
Herb-based
These herb mixes are sent with a
muslin square. Just place herbs inside square, tie up, and float
in tub - just like making a huge cup of tea! The square can then
be washed and reused.
4 oz. $6, 8 oz. $11
Massage
Oils & Bars
Massage oils come in a variety of
bases and can be made into a lotion. The typical base is almond oil.
These standard mixes can be supplemented with secondary odors with essential
oils. Other bases available are grapeseed, walnut, sunflower,
sesame or apricot kernel.
4 oz. oil or lotion $8
Massage bars are made using various combinations of cocoa butter, shea butter, mango butter and jojoba oil and then blended with essential oils. One 1.5 oz bar is sufficient for one body massage.

Facial Cleansers
& Toners
Dry
These dry cleansers are powdered
and can be mixed with water, cold cream, sour cream, yogurt, honey or avocado
to make a mask. The typical use is to mix with water, rub into skin
and rinse well. To complete your facial treatment, use a toner and
moisturizer.
Liquid
Liquid facial cleansers have various
bases. The liquid soap blend comes in the standard fragrances.
Toners
These are useful for oily skin and
during summertime. They help tone and firm the skin after
cleansing.
Hair Rinses
These hair rinses are for use after
shampoo and conditioning. The hair rinses go rancid quickly, so I
send herb mixes. You add specified amount of boiling water, steep
10 minutes, and then strain, cool, and pour through hair after conditioning.
Mouth Care
The toothpastes are based on baking
soda and mixed with herbs. The mouthwashes typically contain some
alcohol.
Fragrances

orange, peppermint, jasmine, or chamomile.

These are cocoa butter and almond
oil mixed with essential oils. In addition to the standard
single scents, blends with the standards or custom blends are available
at no extra charge for solid perfumes.

Colognes
Colognes are typically alcohol based
extracts of the herbs. They are occasionally supplemented with essential
oils.
Powders
These are cornstarch or rice flour
based. They are excellent for combating sweat and body odor and for
softening skin after a bath. In addition to standard scents, the
following two powders are also available.
Dream Pillows, Potpourri
Sachets
Dream pillows come in two shapes
- rectangle for covering eyes and triangle for placing under head while
sleeping. They are excellent for headaches when placed in freezer
for fifteen minutes and then used. They also come in two materials
- silk or cotton. I can not guarantee color requests for materials,
but I will try. Standard filling is mugwort, hops, chamomile, lavender,
and rose. Custom filling is available.
$15 for one pillow
Potpourri bags can be assembled in
any size and with any mix. They are excellent for lingerie drawers,
closets, and trunks. They can also be ordered simply as mix without
sachet.
