We celebrated our daughters 8th birthday yesterday! She developed a bar of soap a couple months ago and it's ready to go. All of the profits will go directly to her, it's a fun birthday gift that gets her involved in the family business.

We played around with the base oils to create a very gentle extremely conditioning blend. It has a nice creamy lather with light bubbles. If you have dry skin this one would be high on the list.

The essential oil blend cured out nicely with a mix of Orange, Lemongrass, Tangerine and Litsea. It has a very nice fruity-citrus aroma. Hope you all enjoy it as much as we are! Have a great week!

A new soap is available named "Tranquil Rain." The primary essential oil in this bar is vetiver (ruh khus) also known as the "Oil of Tranquility." India has used sesame seed oil and vetiver for thousands of years to promote well being. Enveloping both of these, this bar promotes healthy, moisturized, and youthful appearing skin.

Stay tuned for next month -- our daughters bar will be unveiled. It's her birthday soap, developed by her. All profits from that bar will go to her. Our son made "Earthen Son" for his birthday, which was loved very much. He thanks you all for your orders and comments!

We have 3 new lip balm flavors ready to go.  All of the essential oils are food grade and certified organic.  100% vegan plant based ingredients made by mother earth.  All of the ingredients are listed below, no hidden flavors, colors or other chemicals.

Hello everyone!  We have a new "Bar of the Quarter" curing up right now, it will be named after we use it.  It's made with a couple ingredients we have never used before  -- it was fun and exciting to create.  The main essential oil is Vetiver, a grass in Western and Northern India.  The aroma is deep, dry and earthy with wood and smokey tones.  We used a large good amount of Sesame seed oil and Avocado oil.  I can't wait to use it!

The bar of the quarter may be increased from every 3 months to every 2 months.  It's just too much fun to invent and play, and we have too many ideas.  If you try a new bar and absolutely love it, let us know!  With your feedback it could become a permanent addition.

We will be experimenting with a few new lip balm flavors in the upcoming month.  We hope to expand and have 1-3 new flavors for us all to enjoy.

Body butter is now up on the website with a $1 off intro.  The picture is just a place holder, it will be replaced with something better in the near future.

"Poppy Fields" and "Sin Ye Mon" are both low in stock, thanks for the Christmas purchases!  We are in the middle of a "Poppy Fields" batch today and plan on making "Sin Ye Mon" later this week or next week.

We are getting very low on "Earthen Sun" and those will not be remade  -- if you want to try our sons birthday creation don't wait too long.  All profits from "Earthen Sun" go directly to our son, he is very thankful for everyone who purchased his soap.  It's been a neat experience including him in the business like this.

The lip balm label design looked so terrible. It made me think it was government issued lip balm. So this morning we worked on livening it up some. Here is the new look, hope you like it!  We will update the site with better pictures later on.  We wanted to get these up here asap though.

The lip balms we have been working on are now ready to go!  For those of you who wait till the last minute for holiday gifts look no further.  The "Grab Bag" of 4 soaps with our fantastic lip balm would make the perfect gift.  Try them now with an introductory $1 off.  We will be bringing some down to the marketplace tomorrow, for the locals to enjoy.


Peppermint Lip Balm

Naked Lip Balm

Just a heads up!  "Earthen Sun" is about half way sold out.  If you want to experience our sons first soap bar and the first "bar of the quarter." You may want to order soon before they dwindle away.

We have settled on our first lip balm recipe!  We also bought some testing packaging.  Everything seems great, we gave some out locally and it has been loved!  We will have a "Naked" and a "Peppermint" balm available at launch.

With the remaining lip balms we are going to give them out for free with orders*.  A new shipment of containers and labeling material will be purchased shortly, when those arrive we will put them up for sale on the site.  Until then you can get a sneak peak for free with any purchase of soap while supplies last.  We have no labels yet, so I'll list the ingredients here for your viewing pleasure.  When they go up for sale they will have labels sharing the ingredients.  As always, high quality vegan ingredients!

Ingredient list:  Cocoa Butter, Avocado Oil, Castor Oil, Candelilla Wax, Peppermint Essential Oil.

*The lip balms are all gone. Hope you all who received it enjoy it! Sometime next week they should be available for purchase through the website and locally.

We have been working on massage oil on and off for some months now, and we have found a winner! We have had two massage therapists aid us in its development. A huge thank you to Kalisa Snuffer at "Twin Pine" in Tabiona, Utah and Amber Dodge at "Eden Massage" in Colebrook, New Hampshire! If you live or visit Colebrook NH area stop by Eden Massage for your next relaxing massage. If you are out west in Utah swing by "Twin Pine" for your next massage. If anyone is interested in our massage oil feel free to contact us. We will have 8 oz bottles of the oil blend on our website once we resupply.

With the upcoming holidays we are offering a "Grab Bag." This will be 4 random bars with no duplicates. The perfect gift idea for those who are conscience about health or just enjoy luxury showers/baths. Like always we only use natural vegan ingredients with top notch oils and butters. Our fragrances are steam distilled plant essential oils. Our colors are from clay, herbs and other natural sources.

We are getting very close to releasing our lip balm. We ordered some containers to test out and make sure they don't melt from body heat in the pocket. We are going to make 5 more micro batches -- to see if we can gain any more perfection out of it with mini adjustments. The one that passes the final tests will be available to all of you!

We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
