✨ Did You Know? One of the stars in my lotion dots comes from a palm tree! 🌴💛

One of the ingredients I love using is carnauba wax—a beautiful, natural plant wax harvested from the leaves of the Brazilian carnauba palm. The tree naturally produces this wax to protect itself from the intense sun and dry climate, and it’s carefully collected from the leaves without harming the tree. 🌿

So why do I choose it?

✨ It helps create a protective barrier that locks in moisture.
✨ It leaves your skin feeling silky smooth—not greasy once it’s fully applied.
✨ It gives my lotion dots a firmer texture, making them easier to use.
✨ Because it has a naturally high melting point, it also helps my lotion dots hold up better during warm summer days and outdoor markets.
✨ It’s a renewable, plant-based ingredient that aligns with my passion for creating products with clean, high-quality ingredients.

When I formulate my products, every ingredient has a purpose. I spend countless hours researching, testing, and perfecting each recipe because I believe you deserve products that are as thoughtful as they are effective. ❤️

Nature has given us some incredible ingredients, and carnauba wax is one of my favorites!

Have you ever heard of carnauba wax before? Let me know in the comments! ⬇️🌿

✨ YOU BLEW US AWAY! ✨

A few weeks ago at the Red Barn Acres Market, we experienced something we are still so incredibly grateful for… we SOLD OUT of our Lotion Dots! 🤍🌿

Seeing so many of you choose our handcrafted products and love the simple, clean ingredients that go into each batch truly means the world to us. Every Lotion Dot and Lotion Tart is carefully made by hand with thoughtfully selected ingredients like plant-based carnauba wax, African shea butter, organic coconut oil, and phthalate-free essential oils and fragrance oils. ✨

Because of your amazing support, I’ve been busy in my kitchen preparing more batches so I can bring plenty with me to the Satek Art Show on Saturday, August 15th! 🎨🌿

I’ll have more Lotion Dots and Lotion Tarts available, along with many of your other favorite Crooked Lake Candles & Cosmetics creations.

If you missed out last time, this is your chance to stock up! 🛍️🤍

Thank you for supporting a small, handmade business and allowing me to continue creating products made with care, intention, and ingredients you can feel good about. 🌱✨
