Our Citrus & Star Almond Anise Salt Scrubs!
I have so missed blogging! Wow, have we been busy here, gearing up for our Grand Opening of our very own, Fullearths, Etc. Etsy Shop! So, what have we been up to? Writing informational articles to shed even more light on the chemicals that exist in our skin-care, preparing for a couple of very cool radio spots and…. ??? you guessed it! ~ making soap!!!!
Calendula Petals adorn the tops of "Shea La La" ~ our best seller! ;-)
Well, most importantly, Soap!! I’ve been chugging along, doing one of my favorite things – making soap and salt scrubs for your wholesome bath & body enjoyment! :-)
Last night, I made a batch of our best seller, Shea La La ~ an olive oil, shea & cocoa butter based soap bar, scented with lavender & geranium essential oils and infused with calendula petals.
Soap reaching "trace"
Trace is my favorite stage of soapmaking. I absolutely LOVE to see my soap reach trace! Takes on a vanilla custard consistency, and looks almost edible, yum!!!
Lavender and Rose petals, in our Citrus Salt Scrub.
Next up, tonight I had a blast making a few salt scrubs.
Salt Scrubs (some call them Salt “Glows”) are a combination of sea salt and skin -nourishing carrier and essential oils, used after a shower or bath and rinsed, not washed, off. What you’re left with, upon drying the skin, is immediate moisture-drenched skin.
Our Signature Shea Salt Scrub combines lavender, rose geranium and sweet orange oils, for a strikingly refreshing herbal pick-me-up.

Our Star Almond Anise Scrub has a light, aromatic scent that makes a perfect companion to our Jittery Joe Soap bar (almond/oatmeal). Made with sweet almond and avocado oils, this anise-star topped scrub is absolutely decadent! Both are awesome skin re-vitalizers, sloughing off dead skin to reveal the healthier glowing skin beneath.
Keep an open ear for a very special announcement, over the next few days, and watch for our up-coming Grand Opening, this month! You can also allow us to keep you updated via email, by signing up for email alerts at the top right of this page ~ you’ll receive an email each time a new post is added.
