Inner Radiance facial serum is back!!!

I had some feedback with last year’s batch that people missed the rose scent, so this year I used a blend of Neroli Absolute, Rose Absolute, Indian Sandalwood and Frankincense Sacra in this hyaluronic acid and Hydrosol serum. I think the scent came out really nicely and is not overpowering.

The tricky part of making a serum like this is that some of the botanical extracts that have beneficial properties for mature skin also don’t smell the greatest - I personally don’t care for the scent of plankton extract, for example. The art of making this serum is not only crafting something that will support skin health; it also needs to have an appealing aroma.

I always have a tester on hand for my serums and sprays, so you can put a little on your hand to see if you like the texture and aroma. I’m really, really happy with the texture and consistency of this batch. It’s not too thick and does not have the issue of stickiness that last year’s batch had due to the amount of glycerin I had used.

I’ve included a picture of the back label so you can see just how many amazing ingredients are in Inner Radiance! It’s my personal favorite of all the skincare products I make. 💗☺️

Some of the new creations I’ve made in between other projects!

Three new foaming hand soaps:
~Lemongrass & Lavender was formulated for my workplace, but the feedback was so positive, I had to make more!

~Forest Foam includes essential oils of Lavender, Lemon, Eucalyptus globulus, and Rosemary. I don’t make too many herbaceous blends, but this one smells clean, calming, and refreshing.

~Herbal Happiness was created with my son’s two favorite essential oils, Sweet Basil and Lemon, with a touch of Lemongrass.

My foaming hand soaps are $10 each and will be available at the Potsdam Farmer’s Market very soon ☺️

The overall synergy is calming and clarifying, quieting the busy brain to support connection with your highest self and spiritual guides.

Hi everyone! It’s been a minute since I did a product post. Between tax season and our house getting hit with a cold, flu, and the stomach bug, things slowed down a bit over the past month. However, I made a ton of beautiful new gemstone bracelets and several new candle scents that I can’t wait to share with you! I’m hoping to be under the pavilion this spring at the Potsdam Farmer’s Market.

Today I wanted to share my favorite skincare products. I try to use a dermaroller at least 2-3 times a week, and I recently began using a lymphatic brush. At the age of 56, I’m definitely dealing with the realities of being post-menopausal and all the things that means for firmness and elasticity of the skin.

I’ve also created a hyaluronic acid, hydrosol-based serum that I’ve been producing every year since 2019. I’ve tweaked the formula over time, but the base ingredients remain the same: natural botanical supports coupled with cosmeceutical ingredients supported by research, such as the peptide Argireline, which support mature skin health. I use this serum in the morning daily beneath any moisturizer or makeup.

At bedtime, I use my oil-based Frankincense and Rose serum, which is made from a base of frankincense resins infused into Jojoba oil, along with fixed oils such as pomegranate and rosehip seed, as well as Squalene to glide on smoothly, leaving your skin feeling nourished and loved.

I’m going to be making a new batch of each serum soon, suitable for all skin types, but especially mature and/or sensitive skin.

If you aren’t familiar with dermarollers or lymphatic brushes, here is some helpful information:

Back in stock! My Plai Power blend is one of my bestsellers, with consistent return customers who swear by its effectiveness in making life a little easier and more comfortable after times of overexertion.

Plai essential oil is a member of the ginger family. It shares the warming qualities of ginger, but has a special affinity for muscles and joints. I stumbled upon this essential oils when I was dealing with issues in my aging knees and neck. The relief I felt after adding this oil to my arsenal of natural healing supports made me want to share it with others.

Although both products are made with the Plai Power blend, they do have some differences. The aloe gel absorbs quickly for immediate effects. It’s not greasy and is easy to apply. The gel also contains the added benefits of C*B*D* to enhance its soothing properties.

The salve includes oils that are helpful for sore and tired bodies: Tamanu, Hempseed and Black Cumin, along with infused resins and flowers. When I infuse plant matter into carrier oils, the process requires months of patience to extract the herbal goodness and benefits of the plant matter.

While the gel is quick to be absorbed, the salve slowly releases its goodness. I personally love to use salves at night when they have time to soak in completely.

These will be available on a limited basis. Please contact me if you feel these products are right for you, or if you have any questions regarding my Plai blends.

***UPDATE***
I will not be attending tonight’s Lucky Market as planned, due to not being sufficiently recovered from illness. I’m currently 90% better, but the lingering laryngitis makes it difficult for me to interact effectively with customers. I hope everyone who attends has a wonderful time! 🍀
