By Bridget Hudzik, Beauty Guru

 
I'm talking about shea butter, you silly goose! Where is your mind wandering...

Hazelwood Soap Company makes this super ah-mazing raw organic shea butter. A great treatment for the dry and damaged skin thes COLD weather conditions create!

Chapped lips, cracked hands and feet are no match for this stuff!
Even... scars, burns and even stretch marks. Its an amazing natural moisturiser well known for its skin healing properties.

A family owned business, Hazelwood Soap Company specializes in artisanal bath, body and home products utilizing natural ingredients and essential oils.

Products are hand-made in small batches, as their budget is not spent on costly advertising, but rather on quality oils, organic shea butter, and superior packaging. They are only a phone call or e-mail away to providing you with the benefits of aromatherapy.

Their Story is incredible...  We thought you should know!

Shea Moisture is an All-natural, face, hair, bath, body, shave, waxing and baby care remedies, from age-old family recipes carried down through the generations. (AMAZING)

They strive to make a positive impact beyond skin.
The company purchases ingredients directly from women cooperatives and indigenous farmers in Africa, paying above market prices to help improve the standard of living for those suppliers.

They are working closely with local and international organizations, including ECOSERVE and AFRICARE, to protect the integrity of ingredients and improve production processes to ensure sustainable harvests.

Partnering with organizations such as The Liberian Education Fund and Todee Mission, the company is working to build schools and provide access to education for impoverished girls in Africa, many of who are suppliers of Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter and other natural ingredients.

Argan Your Skin

By Bridget Hudzik, Beauty Guru
Argan oil makes everything better, not just hair.
Josie Maran Argan Balm glides onto dry skin with ease after warming it up in your hands.
This multitasking balm is the natural solution for dry or dehydrated skin.
Don't worry about using too much, it's easier to control Argan in a solid form than it is when it's a liquid. T
he balm also contains shea butter and essential oils for added hydration.
Argan Balm creates a protective barrier to seal in hydration and leaves skin softer and more supple by instantly providing visible relief for skin in distress. Apply it liberally all over your body to instantly send relief to rough patches, dry lips, and even frizzy hair. (perfect to have on hand in this humid climate)

It's paraben, toxin, and cruelty free.
