no. 9

Ooh, it's getting a little racy in here!

Around Valentine's Day, I had a request to make a "spicy" massage oil. After blending together some of my favourite sensual oils, I decided to name this blend "no. 9"...it's quite the love potion!

Some key ingredients:

Jasmine essential oil is sweet, yet masculine, while Sandalwood is warm and calming. And Neroli! Can there be a prettier scent? Enjoy the soft fragrance of sweet orange blossom and promote circulation at the same time.

All in all, a perfect mix to get those love vibes going...

Full "no. 9" ingredient list:
Sweet Almond oil, Apricot kernel oil, Essential oils of Lavender, Rose, Sandalwood, Jasmine and Neroli, Vitamin E.

Coming to the shop soon.

High Five!

My friend Rebecca, besides being one of the nicest and most talented cooks I know, happens to also work at a retirement home, where she helps prepare the daily meals with lots of love. Needless to say, her poor hands get quite a beating with the constant use of sanitizers and commercial soaps.

Rebecca is also allergic to most nuts, and so we decided that a custom hand oil blend would be ideal for her. I developed the High Five blend using a wonderful combination of soothing and nourishing oils to protect and heal dry, chapped and irritated hands - and it's free from nut oils too!
 
Some key ingredients:

Calendula Oil has excellent regenerative and restorative properties. A great choice as a salve for irritated, sensitive skin.

Avocado Oil comes from one of my all-time favourite foods! It comes as no surprise that this oil is packed full of nutritious goodies such as Vitamins A, B1, B2, D, E, and Beta carotene. Fantastic for feeding dry skin.

Geranium Essential Oil has traditional applications as a balancing and calming oil, and is used in preparations to treat dermatitis.

High Five full ingredient list:
Apricot Kernel Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Avocado Oil, Carrot Oil, Jojoba Oil, Calendula Oil, Essential Oils of Rose, Geranium and Sandalwood, Vitamin E.

I am currently selling High Five in the shop.
