There's a story behind the development of this new product. Some of you know
that 2002 was a difficult year for us, on a personal level. We mourned the loss
of dear ones, and I personally was left bereft. Days were busy, and okay, but
once I came home from work, the nights were so very empty and lonely. I knew I
had to do some things to nurture and take care of myself, of my spirit. One of
these things became a nightly ritual...a warm bath, beeswax candles, soft music,
and rose oil in my bath, because our pure Bulgarian Rose Otto nourishes a
woman's spirit, as well as her skin. Bath salts weren't the answer for me...my
more than mature skin finds salts too drying. I needed a bath oil, but they
float on top of the water and feel greasy, not soft and nourishing.
I experimented with a friends formula for a "blooming bath powder"...and thus
our Bliss Bath was borne. A container of powder, each wee bit moistened with
nourishing, rich Jojoba oil, with my beloved Rose Oil added with a generous
hand. Add a scant scoop of this magical stuff to the tub as it fills...the
powder dissolves, dispersing the moisturizing jojoba, and the silky soft powder
throughout the water, so that every inch of your skin is caressed with its
silken touch. The Rose Oil soothes and nurtures both the skin and the spirit.
You leave the bath with your skin feeling soft and silky, your spirit rested and
restored. The soft scent of roses surrounds you.
This feather light powdered balm is tightly packed in a PET
bail jar (for safety), so you can
securely seal it to keep moisture out. We are legally required to sell it by
weight, and I'm embarrassed to admit that it weighs only 2 and 1/2 ounces. But
it measures a full 16 ounces by volume by the time we finish packing it. One
container will give you between 15 and 30 blissful baths, depending on how
extravagant you are with it.
We debated whether or not to offer this product. It's costly, when the
supermarket is filled with $2.98 bottles of bath oil. But every woman who
sampled it begged for more. Two young women, not Rose Oil lovers, emailed me
that it was a "Four Star!!!", those who love Rose want to stay in the tub all
evening, and one husband wrote the following glowing review:
"Nature's Gift Bliss Bath caresses her body, leaving her skin soft
and silky smooth. Enjoy a relaxing soak in Nature's Gift Bliss Bath before
your next romantic interlude. Entice and delight your mate with the velvety
touch of your supple skin."
Now, folks, I didn't design this as an aphrodisiac...I designed it to make ME
feel better. But who am I to argue with this nice young man.
I finally gave in to Courtney's pleading. For a limited time we are also
making our pampering Bliss Bath with a generous amount of our Jasmine
Grandiflora.
If you want to pamper a woman who is NOT a rose lover, this is the perfect
answer.
Designed at the request of a mother whose little one suffers from
eczema...living in the High Desert of Colorado she just can't keep his skin
moistened. So we used our rich, moisturizing Bliss Bath base, and added
soothing, skin healing Lavender. Safe for her little one, soothing and restful
for you. The ideal bedtime bath for anyone.
We have a friend with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. She can not
use any aromatic product on her skin, not even our pure essential oils in the
lowest dilutions. But she wanted the emollients of our Bliss Bath to soothe dry,
flaky skin. Marge whipped her up a batch of Unscented Bliss Bath...rich with
Jojoba, and she loved it. Then Courtney suggested that people could add their
own essential oils or blends to the Unscented Base. Voila! Add approximately 1/4
cup extra jojoba, with perhaps 3 mls of your favorite synergy or essential oil.
Blend in very well, and there you have it - your own custom made Bliss Bath. We
packaged this in cellophane bags, for ease of mixing. (When we package Bliss
Bath in our Bail Jars, it is
packed TIGHT and would be hard to work with.) If you are making this as a gift
for a friend, you might want to purchase a Bail Jar
for the presentation.
See our "Week of Bliss" gift set on our
Aromatherapy Gift List. Seven Blissful Baths,
with another gift for relaxation.
Refills
Available
We're offering refills for our best selling Rose Bliss Bath. Packaged in
cellophane to save time in packaging, we can offer it at a lower price. (Hint,
you can order a refill, and one of our Bail Jars
and package it yourself, and save several dollars.)
Mineral rich and less drying than normal sea salt, dead sea salts have been
used for millennia to nourish the skin and ease aches and pains. The Salt
derived from the Dead Sea contains at least 21 different minerals, 12 of which
are not found in the water of any other ocean or sea.
Dead Sea Salts have been used to treat skin conditions such as eczema and
psoriasis, reduce the pain and inflammation of arthritis and rheumatism, and
generally aid in relaxation. We all find a bath in Dead Sea Salts leaves us
relaxed and ready for a good night's sleep.
We offer fine grained salt, which will dissolve more quickly in a bath.
Please note that Dead Sea Salt is a natural product, and like all natural
products it is likely to be differ from time to time.
New and just for fun! We received a sample of these fascinating salts, and
Courtney couldn't resist. We normally use very fine grained salts for bathing,
because there's nothing worse than a scratchy tub, full of undissolved salt
crystals. The larger crystals LOOK wonderful, but aren't as comfortable to use.
Enter the Bali Salts, hand harvested from the Pacific, using millennia old
methods on the Island of Bali.
These totally natural salts are subtle shades of pale gray, and MUCH larger
crystals than any of the other salts we use in our bath salts. But they dissolve
almost instantaneously in your bath. The salts are extremely porous and light
weight, helping them both absorb and hold your precious essential oils, and
dissolve extra fast in water. If you are creating your own bath salts, either
for your own use, or for gift-giving, you simply must try some of these textured
salt crystals!
Another interesting effect of these wonderful Bali Salts is that a bath in
Bali Salts is refreshing and invigorating. A Bali Bath is energizing, rather
than sedating, while our Dead Sea Salts leave us all ready for a long nap.
For examples of the relative sizes, the first bowl, below, shows our normal,
fine-grained sea salt. The center bowl contains our fine grained Dead Sea Salts.
And the bowl on the right contains our new Bali salts.
Cleopatra is said to have bathed in milk...and she knew what she was doing.
Milk of all kinds have long been known to rejuvenate and moisturize the skin.
Goats milk is unique in that it contains caprylic acid which aids the skin's
mantle in shedding dead skin cells and it helps to balance pH. Goats milk is
also rich in vitamin E.
Goats milk soap is extremely gentle, very moisturizing and gives the most
luxurious bathing experience we have experienced. Wonderful as a specially
indulgent facial soap, or for the whole body. Please note...soap with milk in it
will never be pure white. The addition of the milk always colors the soap
somewhere between a pale creamy beige and a deep rich brown.
Nature's Gift Goats milk Soaps use Goats milk as their liquid, and are made
of a blend of Palm Kernel Oil for a hard, long-lasting bar, Olive Oil for rich
conditioning and creamy lather, Virgin Coconut Cream Oil for fast bubbling
lather, Shea Butter to condition your skin, and Castor Oil for conditioning and
extra lather. Sodium Hydroxide is used to turn these solid ad liquid oils into
the gentlest soap we have ever experienced.

"Got to have more soap to keep my skin soft. I have never
felt so clean and had such soft skin. I have stopped using any lotion. I
just don\'t need it anymore.
Thank you, thank you.:)"
I never can predict how a batch of soap will turn out. Last time I made this
it came out a really pretty lettuce green. This time, unfortunately, it came out
the shade of olive my father used to call "sweet baby yellow." It is one
butt-ugly soap. NO ONE will buy it to decorate their bathroom. Well, I hope not.
Hate to think what their bathroom must look like.
It has a saving grace though. It is probably the gentlest and most soothing
soap I have ever used. Calendula infused olive oil, with just a touch of
moisturizing unrefined avocado oil, and a tiny bit of gentle palm kernel and
castor oils to give it a rich, lotiony lather. German Chamomile CO2 to soothe
irritated skin. It smells like a cup of Chamomile Tea. Gentle enough for a
baby's delicate skin. Soothing for dry or irritated skin. Hide it in your
medicine cabinet or behind the shower curtain. Your skin will thank you for it!
Ruth Gilbert ordered several bars, and wrote:
Thanks for making the calendula soap
again. My husband has diabetes and it has saved his skin. It may not be
beautiful, but it is incredibly soothing and nourishing.
I've also given it too a student who had
chemotherapy and radiation and she found it wonderful for her burnt and damaged
skin.
The last batch of this rich facial soap I made sold out in less
than a week. We've been waiting for the next batch to cure, and it's
finally ready.
Lush Goatsmilk and Shea butter soap, richly scented with a blend
of Frankincense, Myrrh, Sweet Myrrh and Rose, highlighted with
a bit of blingbling ...gold, fit for the Queen of the Nile.
I had not planned to make more of this favorite until winter, but
one of our best clients from Texas wrote begging. She said
she and all her friends really rely on it, and their supply from
last year is running out. She says "We tried
the 3 Kings and LOVED IT!!!! It makes the BEST face soap -- summer
or winter. It was the best of all worlds. It doesn't dry too much,
no blemishes, no allergic reactions and our faces felt just --
cleaner!
Now, obviously, 3 Kings is a Christmas name. but this blend
of anti-aging Frankincense and Rose, antibacterial Myrrh, and
the rich Goatsmilk, Shea and Cocoa Butters base makes it
truly a soap for all seasons, and fit for royalty.

Reunité Soap - Orange
Blossom
Rich with Neroli, Vetiver and other essential
oils designed to nurture mature skin (and smell WONDERFUL!), this decadent
goatsmilk soap is lavished with shea butter and virgin coconut oil.
Now, I designed this soap with my own mature
skin in mind. But at least one client has written:
"By
the way, I started washing my face with the Reunite soap just because it
felt good and I loved to have the smell close to my nose. It was the first
thing to clear up my adult acne without drying up my skin-- better than
anything the dermatologist has had for me, everything else has been too
irritating. I know it wasn't promoted for this but thought you would like to
know :-)"
For those who simply don't have time to luxuriate in a Bliss Bath, we have
designed our moisturizing Rose Shower Gel. A gentle blend of saponified oils,
enriched with extra glycerine to leave your skin soft and moisturized. We blend
in generous amounts of both our Bulgarian Rose Oil and Rose Absolute, to
surround you in a cloud of rose scented lather. What a wonderful way to start or
end the day!
Debbie M wrote of our Rose Shower Gel:
I have to tell you, when I first received that gel, I was
certain that there was heroin or something in it--it was so addicting and I just
couldn't take enough showers with it! ;-) I must've really needed the
nurturing and balancing that Rose provides!
The texture of the shower gel is wonderful, too, especially when compared to
other natural liquid soaps. You and your team are definitely masters of the art
in the realm of aromatherapy products--and I appreciate you all so much!
I've learned an abundance from your website--thank you for all the information
you provide!
Restore, refresh, revive with this stimulating blend of Peppermint, Rosemary
and Tea Tree Essential Oils in our gentle, moisturizing Liquid Castile Soap. It makes a
wonderful morning wakeup, or the perfect refreshing restorative after a long
hard day when you need to keep going all evening. T requested this because, she
says, NOTHING works as well after a day spent working in the garden in summer's
heat.
To protect your precious handmade soap, keep it high and dry. (I bought some
of these when a bar of Mille Fleur rather glued itself to the side of the
tub...took a screwdriver to pry it loose.) Crafted of Southern White Pine. Now I
have one at every sink in the house. Soaps last longer and stay neat.
Our older pine soap decks did keep our soaps "high and dry" but sometimes the
bar of soap clung to the dish after it dried. Voila! our favorite woodworker to
the rescue. These newly designed soap dishes both allow the bar of soap to dry
thoroughly, but resist sticking as well.
Our Clarifying Synergy in a base of gentle liquid castile soap.
This special liquid soap base allows the healing qualities of our precious
essential oils to come through, since they are not subject to the stresses of
the saponification process, as they would be in a solid soap. No artificial
colors or preservatives to trigger possible irritation or allergic responses,
just pure liquid castile (created from saponified Olive, palm and coconut oils
with aloe vera gel added) and our wonderfully effective essential oils. We
recommend following with one of our healing
hydrosols to further tone and condition the skin. Please note, some Rosacea
sufferers have also reported excellent results from using this soap.
A gentle unscented liquid castile soap to contain your
favorite essential oil or blend! Our liquid castile is crafted from saponified
organic olive, organic palm and organic coconut oils, with organic aloe vera gel
added, ready to receive your favorite ingredients. Use in the bath or shower,
dilute for a natural vegetable wash, or use for hand washing delicate fabrics.
Add up to 1.5 ml of essential oils, and shake to blend well. Packaged in
Essential Oil safe PET cobalt plastic with a flip top for your convenience.
Some time ago we were contacted by a holistic
nurse/client in Wisconsin and asked to take part in a
research project. Reading she had done indicated that a
body wash, containing lavender and tea tree essential oils,
if left on the skin for a period of time, could be effective
against MRSA (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus).
We tested different strengths and combinations until we
found the mixture that was 100% effective in the
laboratory. This particular combination killed the MRSA
bacteria in a laboratory culture. The results have
been repeated and replicated. Oddly enough, we found
that no single essential oil completely killed the bacteria.
(Although the most effective was a rare Spike Lavender from
France, which, of course, we promptly imported!)
We later went on to test a "leave on" version. The same
blend, at a different dilution, in our gentle organic aloe
vera gel. It too kills the MRSA bacteria under laboratory
conditions.
Human trials are being organized in Wisconsin even as I
type. But we are unwilling to wait to release the product
that has been tested. (And the nurses want to order it for
their personal use!)
Will our MERCY Body Wash and/or Treatment Gel kill the
MRSA bacteria if you come in contact with it? We don't
know. And even if we did know, we couldn't say so, due to
various federal laws and regulations.
What we can say is that the soap will clean your skin,
and contains proven natural anti-bacterial ingredients, and
that the treatment gel will soothe your skin, while also
providing proven, natural all organic anti-bacterial
ingredients.
I wish I had known of this research in Autumn 2005
when I was hospitalized for two weeks and spent months
recuperating....from MRSA!
For him - Sandalwood Shave Soother - a blend of healing Sandalwood
essential oil, in a base of Jojoba, Calendula infused Olive Oil, and Vitamin E, to
soothe sensitive skin after shaving. I have been told that both Jojoba and
Sandalwood can help heal ingrown hairs. I don't know if it's true, but the blend
might be worth trying. At any rate, it will soothe irritation from shaving, and
leave your man smelling wonderful!
One client wrote and told us her man, nothing...she is using it as a
wonderful after shower moisturizer. (I suggested she try one of our goatsmilk
soaps - she'll not need a moisturizer!)
For the ultimate Home Spa Experience,

Gloves overnight.
Body Polish
Now, I love what salt scrubs do for my body...gently remove all the dead dry
skin, leave me feeling soft and silky. But...in total honesty... some just leave
me feeling greasy. And the ones I used to make would separate...a layer of damp
salt on the bottom, and a pool of oil on top. Not really enticing. We decided we
could do better!
Rich, buttery, creamy soft...golden cream colored, no oil floating anywhere.
Just grab a handful out of the ...apply it gently...perhaps a bit more pressure
on the elbows and knees...and where that bit of cellulite wants to grow...
shower off... ohhhhh...nice...I don't feel greasy or oily...I just feel...soft.
All natural Shea Butter, the richness of Squalane, Jojoba, emulsifiers to keep
it creamy...pure sea salt to gently remove dry, rough skin.
Cleanse your body on the cellular level with the detoxifying
power of the sea...our exclusive seaweed essential oil, other detoxifying oils,
the gentle exfoliation of sea salt combine to give you a true spa experience.
Scoop up a small handful, massage into problem areas,
thighs, buttocks, knees and elbows, shower off and feel the freshness.
Renew your body and spirit, stimulate the cells of your body to throw off
toxins, leave your skin silken and soft.
Will this cleansing scrub remove cellulite? There are experts who say that this
combination of essential oils (Seaweed, Lemon, Juniper and Fennel) are effective
agents against cellulite. We don't know whether it will help you combat
cellulite or not. We just love the way it leaves our bodies and spirits feeling.
The ultimate pampering for your toes...and the rest of your feet as
well. Soak your tired feet, then gently rub away calluses, heel
bumps, and other rough spots with our Unscented Body Polish. Dry well.

almost all) and awake in the morning with satin smooth feet. 4
oz of the Body Polish and 4 oz of the Shea Soufflé.
