Men’s Line of Pure GRACE Soaps…

Posted on by

Tobacco and Bay LeafWe released the new Men’s Line of Pure GRACE Soaps today. They were very popular at Market this morning selling out of two of the three scents. These scents will be available year round.Dragons Blood 2

Tobacco and Bay Leaf smells like your grandpa’s pipe. It was an instant hit with both men and women. It contains activated charcoal which is great for your skin, especially if you have any oily areas.

Dragon’s Blood is a very strong incense smell. We have added French Red Clay to the bar which will help detox and purify your skin.

Finally the Lavender Forest is the mildest of the three scents and smells very woodsy with a hint of the familiar lavender scent. The bottom layer of this soap has dried organic mint added for the speckled effect. The top layer of soap contains French Green Clay which is great for your skin.Lavender forest 2

These soaps will be restocked for next week and can always be pre-ordered, if you like, by messaging us on FB or sending us an email.  All bars are $5 each.

Lavender Lemongrass Baby Shower Favors…

Posted on by

Babyshower ChristinaWe were so delighted to meet Christina at a recent Farmer’s Market.  She was new to town and working on hosting a small baby shower for a close friend from Chicago.  Her friend, the Mom-to-Be, loved both Lavender and Lemongrass scents. Christina asked us to put together some favors for the shower for all of the guests in attendance to take home with them.  We were so happy to do so!

We worked with Christina over a period of about two weeks to design just the right favor for her shower.  She ended up choosing a full size Lavender Lemongrass Soap Bar along with a half-size Lavender Lemongrass Bath Salt.Babyshower Christina 2

The shower was being hosted at a restaurant and although the restaurant already had lovely ambiance and decor, Christina still wanted to put a personal touch on the favors and match them to the custom centerpiece she made.  She choose a white and lavender gingham fabric that we use frequently to incorporate in the favors and tie around her basket.  She also placed flowers in complimentary colors on the main table.

Since the deadline for the shower was only a couple of weeks away when Christina contacted us we decided quickly we would have to use a soap scent already in stock.  Since Lavender Lemongrass is one we carry year round it worked out perfectly.

The shower went off without a hitch and Christina let us know the guests were very pleased with their favors.   In in email she told us,

Lavender Lemongrass soap and salts for baby shower packaged         “I was inexperienced in the realm of planning showers and I was so relieved to meet Julie and M. Grace at the Terre Haute Farmer’s Market. Pure GRACE Soap created the perfect product for my baby shower favors, something that made the guests feel really special. They also helped me create an ambiance and centerpiece for the shower, and the event went flawlessly – everything was perfect! My guests were so impressed by her lemongrass lavender soap and bath salts. I am now a loyal fan and follower!”

We really loved working with Christina on her baby shower and thank her for the opportunity!

Pure GRACE Soap routinely takes custom orders and would be very happy to speak with you about an upcoming event or need.  Please contact us at info@PureGRACESoap.com.

Bath salts benefit not only our skin, but our entire bodies from the inside out…

Posted on by

Bath salts carry many benefits beyond looking beautiful and smelling great – the benefits of bath salts are far-reaching, and after using bath salts you’ll feel the difference in your skin, your mood, and more.

Lavender

A blend of salts, lavender essential oil and lavender buds.

Bath salts benefit the skin in many ways.  When used in their natural, pure form, bath salts contain many beneficial minerals and nutrients that keep the skin smooth, soft, and supple. Some of the minerals found in bath salts include magnesium, potassium, calcium, bromide and sodium. These minerals are easily absorbed into the pores and help to cleanse and purify the skin on a molecular level which improves the skin’s radiance, tone, and texture.

-Magnesium helps to fight stress and combat fatigue
-Calcium helps to keep water retention correct, promotes healthy bones and can help slow osteoporosis
-Potassium balances moisture levels in the skin
-Bromide soothes tire, sore muscles
-Sodium plays a significant role in managing the balance of lymphatic fluid in the body

Lemon Rosemary Bath Salts not only smell great but rosemary is known for its health benefiting phyto-nutrients, anti-oxidants, and essential acids while lemon is praised for ability to fight all sorts of infections, help with immunities, and even spike weight loss efforts.

Bath salts also help detoxify the skin.  Bathing in a solution of warm water and bath salts will work to draw out impurities, pollution, oil and dirt from the skin. Bath salts can even bring you the added benefit of looking younger – regular use of bath salts and bathing has been shown to decrease the appearance of fine lines by plumping the skin and balancing moisture.

The benefits of bath salts extend way beyond the time in the tub – after your bath, you will feel calm, relaxed, and happy.  Bath salts infused with essential oils such as lavender or chamomile will soothe you and prepare you for a good night’s sleep; if you take your bath first thing in the morning, bath salts infused with citrus or green tea essential oils will perk you up, so you can start the day with focus and energy.

Bath salts are safe for everyone, easy to use, and very affordable. Pure GRACE Soap keeps a current stock of several scents of bath salts, each one customized for its beneficial properties.  Add Lavender to your bedtime routine or try Good Energy first thing in the morning.  All of our bath salts weigh 12 ounces are packaged for 3 baths but you can use as little or as much as you want.   Each costs $5.  Contact us today or visit us at the Downtown Farmer’s Market if you would like some.

Bugs fear M. GRACE…and with good reason…

Bug Be Gone Lotion Stick at Horse Camp June 2014M. GRACE just finished a 3 day Horse Camp at a local college. Having been riding for a little over a year now she knew what to expect but the days were long, hot and buggy.  Luckily before the first day of camp we threw our Bug Be GONE Lotion Stick in her backpack – just in case…

She ended up using the lotion stick each and every day and said it helped tremendously!  She even joked we should get some for the horses.  While we have not personally evaluated the Bug Be GONE lotion stick on horses we have tried it on ourselves and many other folks.  Everyone agrees this product really does a great job at decreasing or eliminating the annoying biting creatures.

It glides on smooth straight from the tube, no messy globs and no sticky spray here.  You don’t even have to rub the product in.  Open the tube, glide it across your arms, legs, neck, anything that is exposed and go enjoy the outdoors.

Bug Be GONE Lotion Stick group

A basket full of bug protection.

Our Bug Be GONE Lotion Stick has a light herbal smell to it – nothing that will make you cringe and nothing to make the person next to you suspect you are wearing it.  In addition to the gentle smell it is also gentle on your skin – no chemicals here!  This product is all natural made up of avocado butter, beeswax, sweet almond oil, meadowform oil, cedarwood essential oil, lavender essential oil, rosemary essential oil, clove leaf essential oil and cinnamon essential oil.

Avocado Butter is a soft butter with a mild scent obtained from the oil of the avocado tree.  It is known to help moisturize and soften rough, dry, and cracked skin.

Beeswax is known to lock in moisture, foster cells, and protect skin from damaging environmental factors. It effectively softens skin and creates a long-lasting protective coating against the elements. It is also a naturally nourishing moisturizer.

Sweet Almond Oil is a pale yellow carrier oil extracted from the sweet almond nut.  It contains Vitamin E which nourishes the skin and helps relieve irritation, inflammation and itching.

Meadowfoam oil has received its name because of its resemblance, while in bloom, to the white foam blowing on the ocean.  When applied to the skin, it forms a moisture barrier and will assist the skin with preventing moisture loss.

Cedarwood essential oil comes from the Cedarwood tree which is native to North America and grows up to 100 feet and ages up to 1,000 years.  It has a soft, woody and “pencil-like” smell. Cedarwood essential oil has been in use as a mosquito and insect repellant for a long time. When used in vaporizers, it drives away mosquitoes, flies and other insects in a large area around the house. It is regularly sprinkled on pillows or sheets at night so mosquitoes and other similarly irritating bugs and pests are driven away while one sleeps.

Rosemary

Rosemary from our garden.

Lavender essential oil is extracted mostly from the flowers of the lavender plant, primarily through steam distillation.  The smell of lavender essential oil is potent for many types of bugs like mosquitoes, midges, and moths.

Rosemary essential oil is mostly extracted from the rosemary plant leaves.  It has antimicrobial and antiseptic qualities that make it beneficial in efforts to eliminate eczema, dermatitis, oily skin, and acne.

Clove essential oil comes from an evergreen tree which produces a flower bud that has numerous medicinal properties.  These health benefits can be attributed to its antimicrobial, antifungal, antiseptic, antiviral, aphrodisiac and stimulating properties.

Lavender

Lavender blooms.

Cinnamon essential oil is one of the most popular herbs for flavoring and medicinal uses and also a great mosquito repellent. Research has now proven that cinnamon oil is very effective in killing mosquito larvae. This research has paved the way for finding an environmentally safe solution for solving the global menace and disease-spreading capacity of mosquitoes.

It is important to note that the Cedarwood essential oil and Cinnamon essential oil are both very strong and potent.  It is recommended to avoid Cedarwood during pregnancy.  For that reason, we suggest you check with your doctor before using our Bug Be GONE Lotion Stick if you are pregnant or plan to use it on an infant.

The Bug Be GONE Lotion Stick is available all summer long.  It comes in a convenient 2 ounce twist top tube for $9.
