Rose Bliss Bath

(Also available in Jasmine, Lavender, and Patchouli as well as unscented for your own creations.)

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  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 (actually a special form of tapioca starch), 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 20 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.

Available as a gift set on our Aromatherapy Gifts page.

Jasmine Bliss Bath

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.

Again, it is enough for 15-20 baths.

Available as a gift set on our Aromatherapy Gifts page.

Lavender Bliss Bath

Again, it is enough for 15-20 baths.

Available as a gift set on our Aromatherapy Gifts page.

Unscented Bliss Bath

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 it was 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.

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.)

SALTS for your
Spa Bath

Dead Sea Salt

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.

Himalayan Crystal Salts

The world's purest salt. Produced by immense pressure in the heart of the Himalayas, these colorful salts are said to contain up to 84 different minerals all necessary for life. A bath in these naturally red and pink colored salts is said to detoxify on a cellular level, to soothe and rejuvenate the skin, ease muscle soreness and cramps, and relax and relieve stress.

SHOWER GELS

Rose Shower Gel

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!

(Bless her heart!)

Cleopatra's Secret

Because of the popularity of our Cleopatra's Secret products, we've been asked to create a shower gel. You asked for it, Sadie created it.

Our gentle, moisturizing organic shower gel, enriched with Frankincense, Myrrh, Sweet Myrrh and true Rose Otto. 4 fl ounce Malibu container.

(See our complete line of Cleopatra's Secret products here.)

REVIVE! Shower Soap

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.

UNSCENTED SHOWER GEL

You love our rich creamy shower gel in Rose, or Cleopatra's Secret. You've asked us to produce it with a range of your favorite blends or oils.

Now, for your own creativity, we're packaging our shower gel in a 4 ounce PET plastic bottle with a lotion pump top. 

Either use 'unscented' or add from 0.5 to 2 ml of your favorite essential oil, absolute or blend, stir well, and enjoy!  (note, you could safely add up to 3 mls of any non-irritating oil, but we find that the smaller amount is usually sufficient.) So the instructions should really read "to taste."

Contents: saponified Coconut, Olive & Jojoba oils, added vegetable glycerine, vegetable gum, aloe and rosemary oleoresin as an anti-oxidant.

Soap Savers  NEW and redesigned

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.

Special Purpose Soaps for Specific Conditions

Clarifying Soap

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.

Available with other Clarifying products on our Aromatherapy Gifts page and/or our Aromatherapy Skincare page.

Liquid Castile 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.

MERCY Soap and Treatment Gel

MRSA-(drug resistant "staph")

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!

Sandalwood Shave Soother

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, exfoliate and soften with our own exclusive Body Polishes and Whipped Shea Butter. For even more intensive skin treatment, use our Spa Booties and/or Spa 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.

Deep Cleanse Body Polish NEW with Dead Sea Salt

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.

Note: May, 2009

"T" hasn't been happy with the texture of our Deep Cleanse Salt Scrub, a blend of dead sea and sea salts, with our Detox Synergy meant to both exfoliate and soften the skin, while cleansing and detoxifying on a cellular level.  She went to work in our Production Kitchen, and came out with a wonder. The same ingredients, in a different order and method, give a light, fluffy scrub that leaves the skin silken soft and smooth.  Much nicer to use than its predecessor, and at no increase in price!

Nature's Gift Satin Soles:

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. For the ultimate beauty treat, rub in some of our Shea Soufflé, slip into our brand new Moisturizing Spa Booties (stretchy, one size fits almost  all) and awake in the morning with satin smooth feet. 4 oz of the Body Polish and 4 oz of the Shea Soufflé.

Body Polish to smooth away dry skin. A special scrub brush and a deluxe pedicure wand for problem areas add up to a beauty treatment for the most neglected parts of your body.

Slather your favorite emollient on hands and/or feet, don the gloves and booties, and go to bed. Rise in the morning with sensuously soft skin. (Our favorite emollient is our Whipped Shea Butter, but yours may be different.)
