Summer is in full swing here in Moab, and so are the bugs. Unfortunately for many of us around the world, insects are simply a part of life during the warmer months. Unless you live in a bug-free paradise or never venture outside, you’ve probably encountered insects at one point or another.

Now that we are getting into the summer season, and are beginning to batch this year’s crop of essential oils and hydrosols, we thought we’d take a few minutes to answer some questions that we periodically receive from our customers about hydrosols. In this article we’ll discuss what a hydrosol is (and what it isn’t), how hydrosols are made, the benefits of hydrosols, and how hydrosols can be used.

We recently released our new line of all-natural shave oils and thought we’d take a few minutes to discuss the benefits of using a shave oil as part of your regular shaving routine.

For several years now, we’ve been making soap-based shampoo bars using the same cold process soap making methods that we use to make our face and body soaps. Based on customer feedback and our own research, we’ve recently decided to start making detergent based or “syndet" shampoo bars, as well.

Like many of you, for years we’ve been looking for a natural deodorant that actually works, and have never been quite happy with the ones we have tried. So, we decided to make our own!

When it comes to moisturizing your face, chances are, you rely on a cream, lotion, serum, or toner to help whip your skin into shape. While these skin care products are essential in their own right, there may be one product you’ve overlooked or decided against using: face oil.

We recently released our line of clay masks, and thought we’d share some of our favorite ingredients to mix them with.

Lotion bars? What are those? This is a common question from our new customers who haven’t yet discovered the benefits of these wonderful all natural, eco-conscious moisturizers. Deeply hydrating, pleasant to use, and travel-friendly, lotion bars are gaining popularity and can be a great plastic-free alternative to bottled lotions.

Frequently our customers ask us: “What is the difference between beard oil and beard balm?” They often want to know which one is better, and should they use oil, balm, or both? Of course, the short answer is, it depends. In this post we’ll address these questions, and help you decide which beard product is right for you.
