This summer we introduced a brand new scent, and reformulated some of our bars. We hope you’ll like the variety. First of all, we tested a bar containing beef tallow, on the extended family, and it seems that they liked the smooth creaminess of the suds. So we offered that change in our Tsola Bay bar to everyone. Next we used the same formula in our NEW Lavaminder bar, which designed to transport people back to the 70s, with a mix of lavender, amyris (a lot like sandalwood, which is now rare), a bit of patchouli and geranium. We also made the Tea Tree Lavender bar with that same tallow formula.
Most of our bars remain 100% plant based, but since we live on a beef farm, we thought we should express this a bit by making some tallow bars.
The hemp oil supply has been intermittent, these last 3 years so our only remaining hemp oil bar is Tea Tree Thieves. We had eliminated 2 of the hemp containing bars, and reformulated Summers Buzz without the hemp, which has allowed that scent shine through a bit better.
There are some new pictures up in the online store, to keep up with the changes and reformulations. In 2024, we will be eliminating Sweet Almond oil, keeping Olive oil, and increasing the castor oil content in most of our bars, so that they’ll share the creaminess of our 3 tallow containing bars We hope to introduce some new scents later in the year, after some animal testing on ourselves. 😀
