Isn’t it time YOU discovered the beauty (pun intended) of our delicious (don’t drink it) Cucumber Micellar Water and Toner?
This is the dynamic duo of quick, easy, effective skin cleansing. Micellar Water breaks down even eye makeup, sweeping it away without stripping skin. Toner refines pores, tightens skin, and deep cleanses for an all-around fresher look and feel.

-Micelles are particles with both hydrophobic (hates water) and hydrophilic (loves the h2o) ends. They bind to grime, then rinse it away.
-Witch Hazel Water, proof that Mother Nature plays favorites, is an absolute good. Hydrating, pore refining, astringent, and Oh! So gentle.
-Cucumber Distillate deep cleanses to shrink those pores and fight blemishes.

Locking lids for easy packing, convenient pump distribution, and the convenience of all-in-one skincare make this duo one that is ALWAYS in our suitcases. Grab yours today online or in the shop.

-Cocoa Seed Butter brings superior hydration to even the most parched lips.
-Organic Beeswax is nature’s barrier, allowing lips to soak up all the moisture.

WHAT'S ALL THE RAVE ABOUT TALLOW?

1. Remarkable Skin Compatibility

The composition of tallow closely mirrors the fatty acids present in our skin. This similarity means that products containing tallow are effortlessly absorbed by the skin, delivering immediate moisture and nourishment. As a result, tallow can be incredibly hydrating, especially for those with dry or sensitive skin.
2. Natural Vitamin Infusion
Tallow isn't just about fats; it's also a goldmine of vitamins. It's particularly rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K. These vitamins play a critical role in skin health:
Vitamin A: Promotes cell regeneration and can help reduce signs of aging.
Vitamin D: Supports skin elasticity and minimizes acne.
Vitamin E: Acts as an antioxidant, combating free radicals.
Vitamin K: Assists in healing minor skin abrasions and is believed to help with dark circles under the eyes.
3. Barrier Restoration
Environmental factors, like pollutants and harsh weather conditions, can weaken our skin's natural barrier. Tallow helps in restoring this barrier, preventing water loss, and shielding the skin from external aggressors. This barrier function is particularly beneficial during colder months when our skin needs extra protection.
4. Sustainability and Ethical Considerations
When sourced responsibly, tallow can be a sustainable skincare ingredient. Using every part of an animal ensures minimal waste, aligning with a nose-to-tail philosophy. This approach respects the animal and the environment, standing in stark contrast to synthetic ingredients that often have a larger carbon footprint.
5. Cost-effective and All-natural
Skincare can be expensive. But thanks to tallow's efficiency and the relatively low cost of responsible sourcing, products containing this ingredient often provide great value for money. Additionally, for those seeking to minimize synthetic ingredients in their skincare routine, tallow offers a natural alternative without compromising on quality.

Why in the world do you want a scrub?
Scrubs are miracles of exfoliation, refinement, and overall skin health, with a very short list of superstar ingredients.

- Organic Cane Sugar is a powerful humectant, attracting essential hydration to dry skin. High in glycolic acid, it’s also great for balancing oils, especially for acne-prone skin. Perfect for exfoliating and smoothing, this one is as gentle as it is powerful.
-Sea Salt isn’t in ALL our scrubs, but it’s one worth having, especially for dry skin. Superior descaling, and a punch of minerals lend strength and unsurpassed smoothing to the body and face alike.
- Sunflower Oil is a pet ingredient, and pops up in many of our products. Hydration, protection, and soothing are just some of its many benefits.
-Shea Butter offers anti-inflammatory, hydrating, and antioxidant properties.
-Rice Bran Oil brightens and protects skin.
-Jojoba Seed Oil soothes and deeply moisturizes all skin types.

Gorgeously scented, expertly blended, gentle, effective, and natural, our scrubs are a favorite among our clientele. They’re also teenager approved! Stop by to grab your favorite jar.

So I am a coffee drinker, as much as I know the benefits of tea!
This is my trick. I juice lemons, limes, oranges, turmeric, and ginger. Freeze in ice cube trays. I use a cube every day with a dash of pepper and clove with a dollop of honey and hot water.

Today was my juicing day. 🥤
