Meet Emily MacGregor
:
maker of Moon Bliss Balms♥️
I met Emily 10 years ago in Durham, and she is the most intuitive and skilled skin healer/ esthetician I’ve ever met; Also, she’s an awesome friend🥰
The Wood Element Gift Box available in The Compassion Apothecary includes Emily’s beautiful
Kismet Clear Balm.
The light wood undertones and yummy texture makes this one of my favorite topicals ever!
“The key ingredient in my balms is the highest quality Jojoba oil. Jojoba is the closest oil to our natural skin oils, so our skin easily drinks it up. Shea butter, cocoa butter, beeswax, candiella wax, vitamin E oil, and a variety of the very best essential oils are all used in different combinations to create my Moon Bliss Balms.”
Soooooo dreamy!!
Link in bio to purchase at The Compassion Apothecary!
⚡️⚡️From no until Aug 24, for every Wood Gift Box purchased, $10 will be donated to Revival of Seers to support local Black Q***r Artists⚡️⚡️
Emily MacGregor is now the owner of Elderflower Esthetics located in Rutland Vermont, offering holistic herbal skincare treatments and products.
