Melt-and-Pour Soap
Soap-making was never this easy! Try our all-natural melt and pour
soap. Simply melt the soup in the microwave or on the stove-top,
add your favorite essential oils, and pour into a mold. When it
solidifies, it will pop right out of the mold.
We carry Clear Glycerine and Goat's Milk Glycerine varieties. The
soaps contain 20% added glycerine. The ingredients are:
- Saponified Vegetable oils mainly Coconut Oil
- Glycerine (kosher, of vegetable origin)
- Purified Water, Sorbitol (from berries, moisturizer)
- Sorbitan oleate (emulsifier)
- Soybean protein (conditioner)
- Goat's milk variety only: Goat's Milk
- Goat's milk variety only: Titanium Dioxide (mineral whitener
used in opaque soaps)
We also have a huge selection of fun soap molds to choose
fun! Make some handmade gifts for the holidays!
New Herbal Book
Released earlier this year, "The Desktop Guide to Herbal Medicine"
is a must-have resource for any herbal library. Written by renowned
local herbalist, Brigitte
Mars, it offers a concise, comprehensive guide to the vast array
of medicinal herbs that are now commonly available in North America.
Drawing on healing traditions from around the world, Brigitte presents
detailed monographs of more than 180 herbs, from the commonplace
tea and raspberry to the weedy dandelion and goldenrod to the more
exotic ho shou wu and zeodary. The monographs give a broad range
of information about the herbs, including their physiological effects,
constituents, energetics, historical and current medicinal uses,
other common uses, edible properties, natural range, and contraindications.
Mulling Spices
Just in time for the Holidays, we have packaged some delicious
and aromatic mulling spices. Use them to mull ciders, wines or brandies.
That's it for this newsletter. Our next holiday newsletter will
include more new products and gift ideas! Have a happy and healthy
Thanksgiving.
