Salts & Exfoliates

Dead Sea Salt- Dead Sea salt has wonderful antifungal, antimicrobial, and antibacterial properties that help cleanse and detoxify the pores by driving out oils, dirt and other impurities. This helps to eliminate acne, pimples, blackheads and whiteheads.

Epsom (Magnesium sulfate)- It’s a chemical compound made up of magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen. When Epsom salt is dissolved in water, it releases magnesium and sulfate ions. Epsom salt, or magnesium sulfate, have been known to help promote sleep and reduce stress, as well as relieve constipation, reduce soreness in muscles and aide in recovery from injury and helps to reduce pain and swelling.

We use naturally grown loofahs and place them in our exfoliating soaps to help make your skin glow.

Dried Flowers & Herbs- We use an array of different dried herbs and flowers in our products. Even though these are dried they still carry their natural “essential oils” within them when they are rehydrated or crushed.
