Why use a natural deodorant? The simple answer--why not! Making sense of the myriad of ingredients in skin care products is challenging and confusing. There are many ingredients that are "considered safe in the small doses used in skin care products." But when I think of the various products I use on my skin each and every day, I can’t help but wonder how much is "a safe small dose" after 65 years.

Since ancient times, people have immersed themselves in a warm bath to cleanse, relax, refresh, rejuvenate, and heal. A medley of natural, soothing, mineral-rich salts, some blended with pure organic essential oils, enhances the natural healing and soothing effects of a warm bath.

Whether you call them face oils or facial serums, a nourishing organic, unrefined oil can moisturize, soothe and help restore natural balance to facial skin.  Our organic face oils contain natural plant oils that penetrate deeply bringing essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to your skin.

Commercial dry shampoos come in either powder or aerosol form. The aerosols are made with propellants which can cause problems for those with sensitive noses and for the environment. Other dry shampoos contain alcohols, talc, artificial fragrances and other synthetic ingredients. While the ingredients in a regular shampoo are rinsed away, dry shampoo ingredients may remain on your scalp for days.
