Formula 5 Salve

A while back I received a request from a customer for a product that would contain zinc pyrithione.  Zinc pyrithione is best known for its use in treating dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis. It also has antibacterial properties and is effective against many pathogens from the streptococcus and staphylococcus class. Its other medical applications include treatments of psoriasis, eczema, ringworm, fungus, athletes foot, dry skin, atopic dermatitis, tinea, roseca, and vitiligo.

I sent a sample of my Anti-itch Salve.  With the primary ingredient of Pau D Arco Bark, a natural anti-fungal and anti bacterial, I believed it would show some results.  After increasing amounts and adding a few key ingredients, I developed a salve that has helped my customer and I wanted to take a few minutes to share some photos with you.  My new, all natural, Formula 5 Salve, a better way to help treat common skin conditions without the harsh side affects or expense of prescription medications.   Know someone who suffers from one of these conditions?  This will be the Best $13.50 they have ever spent.

Take a look at the photos below to see the difference for yourself!  Absolutely no altering or adjusting of the photos has taken place, these are exactly what she submitted to me!

Available on my website soon.

Now on to the good stuff!  We have been working on some great, new products for summer.  Our Bug Off Spray is a perfect fit for summer camping, boating, hiking, or just backyard cookouts!  We combined a special blend of Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil and Lemon Eucalyptus Citradoria Oil.  It will not only leave your skin feeling soft, smooth and absolutely great but will also help ward off those pesky bugs!

Why did we choose Soybean Oil?  Soybean oil can help restore the luster and the glow of one's skin. Also, soybean oil can aid in healing the damage that is done to skin by pollution and by sun exposure.

How does soy bean oil help restore the qualities of the skin? Well, soybean oil is full of fatty acids. Fatty acids are absolutely key in maintaining and restoring the health and the balance of the skin. In addition, soybean oil is absolutely bursting with specific anti-oxidants that have been proving in maintaining skin health and helping keep that special glow. Anti-oxidants such as Vitamin E and Vitamin B complex are key to helping restore the radiance and the natural beauty of skin. Vitamin and Vitamin B complex are also instrumental in helping to control and to prevent the development and the appearance of wrinkles.

In addition to helping control and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, soybean oil will help fix uneven skin and will control and restore more even skin tone. By improving the texture of skin, then soybean oil will help you develop more glowing and brighter skin. Because of the immense health benefits of soybean oil, more and more manufacturers of health products and beauty product lines have begun to include soybean oil in their different products. Soybean oil helps to even out skin tone and improve skin's texture resulting in brighter, more radiant skin.

Eucalyptus essential oil is obtained from fresh leaves of the tall evergreen eucalyptus tree. The tree, which has the botanical name Eucalyptus Globulus is also known as fever tree, blue gum tree or stringy bark tree. Eucalyptus is native to Australia and has spread in the past few centuries to other parts of the world including India, Europe and South Africa. Though many countries produce eucalyptus oil in small quantities, the prime source of eucalyptus oil for the world is Australia. Outside of a host of medicinal properties from helping to heal wounds, relieve respiratory problems, reduce muscle pain, it additionally helps to keep bugs at bay.

Bentonite Clay Facial Mask

One of Nature's most unique gifts, Bentonite Clay is becoming more popular for a variety of uses.  I have chosen to create a fantastic facial mask which tightens, brightens, and renews!

Bentonite Clay is a very unique substance, formed primarily of Montmorillonite, which is an extremely flat crystal flake, that carries a relatively strong negative ionic charge. The negative charge is compensated for by adsorbing a cation (either Sodium or Calcium) to the interior of the molecule, this is what makes it either Sodium Bentonite or Calcium Bentonite Clay.

Our clay is a natural mix of both sodium and calcium Bentonite, this will allow it to do twice as much as either one by itself.  The Sodium Bentonite has the highest Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and the higher the CEC of the clay the stronger the negative charge. This means that Sodium Montmorillonite has a stronger vacuum for pulling in heavy metals and toxins that it comes into contact with. Furthermore the Sodium Bentonite swells more giving it the ability to adsorb and absorb more toxins pulling them into the interior layers of the clay and carrying the them out of the body.   Calcium Bentonite does not swell as much as Sodium Bentonite and while that makes it less effective as a detoxing agent it is more effective as a remineralizer.

Another factor that makes Bentonite Clay Powder so indispensable is it’s ability to lower your body’s pH. The Bentonite will absorb some of the hydrogen from your cells enabling them to fill that space with the oxygen you so dearly need.

Bentonite clay's structure assists it in attracting and soaking up poisons on its exterior wall and then slowly drawing them into the interior center of the clay where they are held in a sort of repository.  As a result, reviving and rejuvenating your skin, revealing the brightened, tightened under layer after removing the dried, dead cells from the surface.

Also, look for our special Acne Targeting Bentonite Clay Mask coming soon!

Sea Kelp Sugar Scrub

Introducing our newest sugar scrub, our Sea Kelp Sugar Scrub.  Why sea kelp you might ask?

Sea Kelp Powder is a wonderful detoxifier which helps reduce cellulites. It also offers loads of other benefits for our skin. It helps fight Acne, Wrinkles, Lightens Dark Spots and heals sunburn. Sea Kelp/Marine Algae/Seaweed is a type of plant found in the sea. Sea Kelp has been widely used in face/body firming and anti-cellulite products.

Originally popularized in France, those in other countries took notice soon after because these ingredients really do revitalize, tone and moisturize the skin while producing the most radiant glow your skin has ever seen! Furthermore, these ingredients from the sea, when used in natural skin care products can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, cellulite, and acne all while improving the quality of your skin as a whole.
Some of the specific benefits Algae and Sea Kelp offer the skin include ~
• Algae are a good source of Omega3 fatty acids- Omega 3 fatty acids help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They also prevent dryness and fight skin problems like eczema and acne.
• Algae regulates the production of sebum- The production of sebum is necessary for the skin to be moisturized and thereby prevent dehydration of the skin.
• Algae offers antioxidant properties-Ffree radical damage is the number one cause of skin aging. Algae helps fight free radicals and also helps aid in the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential to having firmer skin.
• Sea nutrients such as Algae and Sea Kelp are loaded with essential minerals and vitamins. These offer regenerative, protective and intense rejuvenating properties to prevent the aging process while also repairing skin damage.

We have chosen to combine our organic sea kelp in our sugar scrub to add a gentle exfoliating quality and added apricot kernel oil for extra moisturizing ability.  Use our Sea Kelp Sugar Scrub on you face and/or your entire body for soft beautiful skin.

New Products, New Herbs and Summer Salves

Hi all!  As we all know, Spring is just around the corner and we are all looking forward to warmer days, outdoor projects that have been neglected all winter, and fun in the sun with family and friends.  I have been busy working on some great new products to help take care of your skin.

My research has lead me to some great herbal remedies and skin care products for summer sun.  With warmer weather comes itches, rashes, scrapes and bruises from Summer games, hikes, camping or swimming.  I will soon be introducing a couple of salves to make dealing with these common summer skin problems easier.  Bugs & Bubbles Everything Salve and our new Anti-Itch Salve.

My new Everything Salve is made of a combination of Echinacea, goldenseal, yarrow, and cayenne.  Echinacea is shown to have to have immuno stimulant, antiviral, antiexudative, anti-inflammatory, bacteriostatic, and fungistatic properties.  The proven actions of Echinacea are due to water-soluble polysaccharides. They act by sequestering the attacks of various microbes and allow the body to heal itself. Upon reaching an infected area, the polysaccharides have an immunostimulant effect, which results in the production of leucocytes (white blood cells). The resulting phagocytic action of the leucocytes effectively eradicates a number of infectious organisms.  The primary active ingredients in goldenseal are the alkaloids hydrastine and berberine, along with lesser amounts of canadine. Berberine appears to have a wide range of antimicrobial activity against pathogens, including Chlamydia, E. coli, and Salmonella typhi, as well as viruses and protozoans. The herb also  appears to stimulate the activity of macrophages, the immune cells that attack harmful bacteria. The herb seems to work quickly to knock these pathogens out. Yarrow has been used by acient cultures including the Greeks and Romans for- 

Bleeding, hemorrhage	Hair loss
Hemorrhoids	Nosebleed
Sore nipples	Wounds, burns

And, finally cayenne produces a warming effect while attacking bacteria, fungi, and assisting in reducing swelling and pain.  This salve is great for kids and adults and works on almost everything!

Bugs & Bubbles Anti-Itch Salve is derived from Pau D'Arco Bark.  The Incas and native tribes of South America use pau d’arco bark externally as a poultice or decoction for treating skin diseases including eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, hemorrhoids and skin cancers.The recent popularity of pau d’arco in western herbology is attributed to its anti fungal activity in treating systemic yeast infections like candida albicans.  It contains astringent compounds that shrink inflamed tissues and are anti-fungal.  My Anti-Itch salve can be used by kids and adults.  It is good for rashes (including diaper rash), fungal infections, yeast infections, and a variety of rashes resulting from contact with plants or animals.  It also works great for severe dry skin problems. 

Look for these and other great products in our store soon!
