To my loyal customers....a big thank you!!!

Scentful Indulgence started as a partnership. In the beginning, it was a wonderful partnership. Formulating was and is still my favorite part which has now turned into a passion. A passion and a drive to bring to you the best ingredients to pamper the lifes of my clients is the reason that I can't get any sleep at night (story for another blog entry ;P). The collaboration between my partner and I was amzing....but we all know partnerships a can weaken and sour quickly.

Our once flourishing partnership hit a deep tail spin. I had no idea that I would be able to keep Scentful Indulgence afloat all by myself. I mean, it was a brand new baby and barely walking yet. I spent many sleepless nights trying to figure out how to make this thing work....formulating, changing, adding....it seemed like I would never be able to do this.

And then a sales, growth spurt if you will, hit me and it was like I suddenly had this group of cheerleaders...my customers. On the very days that I wanted to throw in the towel, were the days I woke to multiple orders. Almost as if some of you were reading my mind and saying, "Oh no sister, you cannot give up on us now!"

So I give you all my word, I haven't given up on any of you. This sole proprietorship is taking some getting used to but thanks to the support of my loyal customers, you have made it impossible for me to even think about giving up. And, you didn't even know that you did!

Thanks so very much to you all for holding me up when all I wanted to do is fold up and fall down. There will be lots of new things coming down the pike for Scentful Indulgence Bath and Body Boutique, so keep your eyes on this blog for all the updates.

A sneak peak of what's to come:

July 1~The Boutique Body Oils will be replaced with convenient Roll-On applicator bottles.
July 1~I will be adding Lotion Bars to the line up.
July 1~Everything But the Kitchen Sink Soap will debut in more scents and shapes.

What's in your moisturizer?

I challenge all that are reading this bulletin to do one thing. Pick up your favorite lotion or body butter and read the list of ingredients. More often than not, commercially made skin care lotions and body butters have one of the following as the largest amount of oil in the formulation.....Lanolin, Mineral Oil or Petroleum.

Lanolin is a wax derivative of sheep's wool which can cause allergies and be comodegenic (pore clogging).

Mineral Oil & Petroleum are generally skin protectants. both of these products, byproducts of petroleum/crude oil production, leave a film on the surface layer of the skin, which can lead to clogged pores.

Some of you may have heard some old schooler's tell you the best way to soften your feet is to use Petroleum Jelly and put socks on your feet before you go to sleep. And yes it works--but only on the surface! The best way to soften your skin is with non-comodegenic oils that will penetrate the skin. Softening the surface is only putting a bandaid on the real problem. Not to mention it's messy! The path to beautiful, well hydrated skin is to get beneath the skin's surface with natural penatrating oils and butters.

Our Shea Souffle Lotion & Body Butter will NEVER contain any of these products! Homemade skin care is on the rise.....visit our store and see why there's nothing better than homemade.
