Organic Baby Products

Recently I blogged about hair care products made in a barn.  Today I'm taking a look at body care products made in an apartment kitchen.  What can I say?  I like unconventional.

These aren't just any old homemade skin care products though. I know how to whip up a thing or two in my kitchen but these products  are a step above.  Created using super high-quality, organic formulas and lovingly hand-mixed and presented in gorgeous packaging;  products from Soapwalla
Kitchen look more like high-end department store than hippie kitchen.

Rachel Winard, chief Soapwalla chef, initially created the line for her own very sensitive skin.  Now she shares her creations with everyone through her Soapwalla Kitchen Etsy shop.  Her target market is eco-conscious twenty and thirty-somethings, new
moms and women 40-55 who
want alternatives to age-reversing chemical and surgical procedures. 
(Um…I'd be in the later category and you sure as hell won't ever catch me under the knife. )

Rachel sent me a few samples to try and boy were they nice!  The Luxurious Body Oil (shown above) goes on smooth as silk and has a delicate ginger citrus scent that is surprisingly addicting.   (Bonus:  she is willing to reduce the amount of essential oils if you are buying the product for infant use.)  The Cardamom and Ginger Soap Bar, made with kosher vegetable glycerin and shea butter is probably the softest soap I have ever felt.  You'd think it would literally melt in your hand, but it doesn't.  In fact, my little sample nugget has lasted a good long time now.  And the scent…heavenly, absolutely heavenly!

By far the most unique product I tried was the Deodorant Cream  – I've never tried anything like it!  A blend of organic oils, vegetable-based powders and clays, and lavender, peppermint and tea tree
essential oils, it is designed to inhibit bacteria and absorb moisture.  Granted, I'm not a super sweaty or stinky person, but it held up to a strenuous Rollerblade around the lakes the other day!  If you are trying to avoid conventional deodorants or just want to check out something new, I suggest giving this product a try.

Come next winter I'll be
ordering a bottle of Restorative
Face Serum to help combat my insanely dry skin.  I haven't tried it yet, but I'm thinking my skin could only benefit from such a rich blend of oils loaded with beneficial fatty acids and anti-oxidants.  Frankly, I'm guessing that anything you buy from Soapwalla Kitchen will be a delight!

Here's a little incentive to get you to try these delectable, homemade products:  10% off your purchase and free shipping over $75 with the following code:
MM10.  Good through June 30th.  Feed Your Skin!!

{Full disclosure:  Soapwalla Kitchen sent me mini-samples of the body oil, soap and deodorant cream for review.}
