Handmade bar soap
Nothing quite like a bar of handmade soap. This one is large and hard, not dry or flaky because of the high percentage of shea butter. Use it as a room deodorizer as well. Please keep in a soap dish that drains well.

Nice hard bar that lasts a long time if stored in a well-draining soap dish. The myrrh and frankincense powders will give you gentle exfoliation and the beneficial properties well-known for both.
Use often, place in a well-draining soap dish and your entire bathroom will smell like Cranberry Spice.
Use often! Will actually make your bathroom smell good - and please keep the soap in a soap dish that drains well!
Nice hard bar of soap, a generous 4 oz bar with lots of lather. Please store in a soap dish that drains well - it will keep it longer.
Large, hard bar with lots of lather, but handmade soap needs to be kept in a soap dish that drains well. This will help keep the bar hard - longer.
We are so excited about this new formula! We’ve added an incredible amount of anti-aging/antioxidant ingredients, all certified organic. We research our ingredients quite carefully to make sure what we're buying is without pesticides or other contaminants, plus we purchase from companies who are eco-friendly and fair trade. We also use the amazing benefits, that are well documented and well researched of green tea, rooibos tea and ginkgo. Our infusions are dark and concentrated and you will notice that this cream is very close to the same color as Seabuckthorn Berry, which is what gives it the orange color. If you have a company telling you they are putting any significant amounts of these ingredients in their cream and it is pure white – you are only getting a minimum amount of that ingredient. Acai extract – the real thing – is dark like the fruit and we use enough of it along with our other antioxidants to make our cream – well, cream colored! After the emulsion (that’s what making oil and water into a cream is called) cools enough, we add a significant amount of skin-healthy, anti-aging pure unadulterated essential oils – enough that you can get a slight hint of their fragrance. This is a pure, natural fragrance, not what you are probably used to in the synthetic fragrances so prevalent in high end products you find on the shelves today. The phthalates in these fragrances age your skin, cause allergies and make your skin break out. There are NO parabens in our creams – or any of our products – never, ever, ever. Read our blog about why that is.
I use this cream both in the morning and at bedtime, but I have (well...had) very dry skin. It has worked miracles on my skin but I suffered with rosacea until I began to develop my own creams. The emu oil is well known for its transdermal properties – it will penetrate deeper than other oils and carries with it the beneficial properties of the other ingredients in this intensive cream. Now my skin is clear enough that I don’t really have to use a makeup base. For some it will be enough just to put around those dry areas, such as eyes and laugh lines. It’s also a very good cream for hands that are work-worn and chapped. Apply gently and sparingly – a little goes a long way. You will love the natural, clean feel and fragrance of this cream – synthetic fragrances are not good for the sensitive facial skin and we refuse to use them in our facial products – we use only 100% natural essential oils for their therapeutic benefits rather than their aroma.
As with first using any new product, please do a small test on your arm first and perhaps on a small area of your face. We offer sample packs for those who want to try it out first.

If you haven’t been reading about the absolutely amazing properties of Rooibos, take a look at our Rooibos benefits & properties page where we go into some detail. You will be seeing more of this extract in many of our formulas. Rooibos is a very effective anti-inflammatory & antioxidant and added to that is our usual DMAE & MSM. We include these two ingredients in most of our facial products because they have been proven to work consistently to tighten, firm and improve the health of your skin. I use this serum after washing my face while my skin is still warm and slightly moist. I like to gently rub it in using upward outward circles - this also increases circulation to your facial skin providing additional benefits. After this is absorbed, I then put on a dab of either the organic Every Day Facial Cream or the organic Skin Intensive Renewal Cream.

The consistency of this cleanser is similar to Greek yogurt. I used to say a thick sour cream until I purchased my first container of Greek yogurt - without the tartness of course, smooth and unscented. I recommend using this cleanser once or twice a week for that deep cleaning that removes the dead layer of skin. Until this layer is removed, no other ingredients can actually penetrate down to where they will make a difference. Apply gently, using the upward circular motion we've all read about. I like to leave it on while I brush my teeth, and then wash off with a warm washcloth. I also like to use this particular cleanser if I'm going somewhere special where I particularly want to look healthier and radiant. By removing that dead layer of skin and if you've been following our regimen or any good facial regimen, you will see a healthy glow that comes only through using good natural, organic quality ingredients - and leading a a healthy lifestyle of good nutrition and exercise. Applying a thick heavy foundation over beautiful skin is not something I think should be necessary.
