Lush is a very controversial company in the handmade soap circles. Almost every forum I have visited has had an argument thread or two about them. Regardless of what you think of their products, you can’t disagree that they are committed to green issues. In fact, they have made it a priority to reduce the [...]

Avocado oil is one of my new loves. It’s classed as a vegetable oil, but the avocado is really a fruit. It’s a deep penetrating oil, rich in vitamins A, D, E, lecithin, and potassium.Avocado oil also contains proteins, lecithin, beta-carotene and over twenty percent essential fatty acids.

Sea Spa by Faerie Made Soaps
I fell in love with the color of this soap, but the blend of tea tree, peppermint and other essential oils stopped me in my tracks. Combine that with dead sea mud and every day is a spa day!
