Since I am in the thick of holiday craft show season, I figured, "Why not use this extra hour for something productive?" I know, I know... I'm such an overachiever! Ha! Seriously though, my husband took my daughter to a local production of "The Little Mermaid" (her absolute favorite), and my son settled in for his three-hour nap. There was no way I was going to let that precious 90 minutes of quite time go to waste!
I used my time wisely and made a couple of really great products. I know they are great because I have been sampling them myself all evening! I am trying to focus on making very "giftable" items for my holiday show, and this one is a winner!
Peppermint Lip Scrub and Balm Sets
I started with my favorite vegan-friendly lip balm, which includes cocoa butter, candelila wax, castor oil, vitamin E and peppermint essential oil. I use candelila wax because it is an extremely hard wax-even more so than beeswax. This allows me to use less wax and more of the good stuff. The lip balm alone smells awesome.... but wait!
The scrub comes next! For the scrub, I used USDA certified organic virgin coconut oil (AMAZING!), USDA certified organic sugar, local NY honey, vitamin E and peppermint essential oil. Holy cow this stuff is good! The coconut oil smells like the beach. Add the peppermint oil in, and it's like your drinking a peppermint pina colada. :) I kept trying the scrub on various body parts (lips, hands, elbows) because I just couldn't get enough of the gentle moisturizing effects. It leaves your skin so soft.
This little set would make a GREAT gift for the holidays or otherwise! I will be listing the Scrub/Balm set on Etsy tomorrow for only $6.50. I only have a limited number of sets (a dozen) to test. If you'd like to order, please visit my Etsy shop or email me directly.
Enjoy!
