Days of bathe. — Day 3: Lip Balm!
Let's talk lips!
How many of you have at least 5 tubes of lip balm scattered between your purses, cars, nightstands, and random coat pockets. (And your dryer... don't lie. You know you have done it).
But have you ever wondered what's actually IN your lip balm or why your lips feel more dry after you used some brands?
I feel so proud of my lip balm recipe. It is one of those recipes where I started off making a basic recipe I found online and it evolved as I learned more and studied different ingredients that would be beneficial to a lip balm.
I make our lip balms with a blend of wax, oils, and butters chosen to help soften, condition, and protect your lips.

So, what goes into our lip balm, and why?
Beeswax – Helps create a protective barrier on your lips that slows moisture loss. It also helps give our lip balms some structure and helps with the melting point of the finished product.
Sunflower Oil – Rich in fatty acids that help soften and condition the skin. It's a lightweight oil that contributes to a smooth application.
Coconut Oil – An emollient that helps soften dry lips and gives our balm a smooth, creamy feel.
Jojoba Oil – Technically a liquid wax rather than an oil (we talked about this the other day when I went over Whipped Cleanser). Jojoba helps condition lips and reduce moisture loss while providing a silky feel without excessive greasiness.
Cocoa Butter (this will be replaced the next round of lip balms due to pricing, but the butter I replace it with will provide the same benefits) – A rich plant butter that helps soften lips and adds firmness and creaminess to our formula. I am exploring sal butter and kokum butter as an alternative to the cocoa.
Cetearyl Alcohol – I can hear at least 27.5% of you say something like... "alcohol in lip balm? Won't that dry my lips out"? Absolutely valid question, but before you panic, this isn't the drying alcohol you're thinking of. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol that helps improve texture, firmness, and glide. It's actually an emollient, meaning it helps soften the skin and like many of the other ingredients, it helps provide that barrier that our lips really need, especially in the coldest of winter months. Plus, this also helps increase the melting point of my lip balms..meaning you have a few extra degrees in the summer before you have a puddle of liquid lip balm in your cars cup holder.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol) – I use this as an antioxidant and it helps protect the oils in our formula from oxidation, which can cause them to go rancid. It also has skin-conditioning properties that we can never ignore.
Flavor Oil – Because sometimes you want your lip balm to smell like something yummy. Our lip-safe flavor oils add a slight scent but no sweetness. VERY RARELY will I add a sweetener or use a pre-sweetened flavor. I just prefer to not deal with the use of these sweetener, if I am honest. The other issue I find with sweetened lip balms is that they "trick" your brain into thinking the lip balm taste like the flavor I put in it, but honestly it taste like nothing but sweet. It is basically an illusion. When I think they taste good, guess what I do?!? Lick my lips. That is a terrible idea, so I prefer them unsweetened.

What makes our lip balm special?
I didn't just want my lip balms to feel good for five minutes. I want a lip balm that glides on smoothly, leaves your lips feeling soft, and helps protect them from moisture loss. PLUS, not make them feel drier after a few minutes than they felt before you put it on. Some lower quality, more affordable brands actually have very little in the way of moisturizers in their lip balms. They may provide a temporary barrier to cold and wind, but moisture isn't even on the table.

One little thing worth knowing: Lip balm doesn't actually add water to your lips. Instead, ingredients like oils, butters, and waxes help soften your lips and reduce the amount of moisture they lose.
*bonus* I also make a moisturizing lip scrub. Perfect for removing dry skin from your lips AND add additional moisture. My lip scrub isn't the simple version of an oil and sugar mixed together. Although, that does do the job of exfoliating, it does very little in the way of moisturizing. Mine actually have a very moisturizing base with sugar added in to provide the exfoliation.

Anyway, if you saw my post yesterday, I shared that I just got an order of 500 lip balm tubes. If you have a favorite flavor or a flavor you'd like me to make let me know! Except blueberry. I tried that... most people hated it. 😂

7 Days of bathe. — Day 2: Body Buttercream!
What is body buttercream?
Is it lotion? Is it body butter? Is it frosting?
It looks an awful lot like a thick frosting, but my guess is that it won't taste anything like a frosting.
Our Body Buttercream is a rich, creamy moisturizer designed to leave your skin feeling soft, smooth, and conditioned. I tell everyone that it is my favorite form of moisturizer because I can put it on in the morning and when I go home to change clothes, I can still tell that I put it on...and I am super lazy about moisturizing. I need it to last a long time.

What makes ours special?
When I formulate a moisturizer, I'm not just thinking about how it feels when you first scoop it out of the jar or squeeze it out of the bottle. I'm thinking about how it spreads, how it absorbs, and most importantly, how your skin feels afterward.
There is actually quite a bit of science behind creating a good moisturizer.
Here's a little skincare science for you!
Moisturizers generally work through three different types of ingredients:
Humectants – These attract and hold water, helping hydrate the outer layers of your skin.
Emollients – These help soften and smooth the skin by getting into those tiny gaps between dry, flaky skin cells.
Occlusives – These help slow water loss by forming a protective layer on the skin. Once again, I will dive deeper into this when I cover Body Oils.
A well-formulated moisturizer combines ingredients that work together rather than relying on one supposedly magical ingredient to do everything. Looking at you Tallow. 😂 OK, there is nothing wrong with Tallow. I just have big opinions about it.
How do you use it?
Apply a small amount to clean skin and massage it in. It is that simple. Don't over do it! I am guilty of this. If your skin remains greasy after using my body buttercream, you may have went a little heavy handed. I can't speak on other types of body butters, but just like most of my other products, a little goes a very long way. Now, mine does absorb into the skin a bit more quickly than some I have used in the past, but personally, I like that. That is why I made it that way. I really, really dislike having to work hard to not feel like a greasy piece of bacon.
One of my favorite tips is to apply moisturizer shortly after showering since your skin has absorb a bunch of moisturize and we wanna hold as much of that in as possible. You are basically taking advantage of the moisture already on your skin. That said, you don't have to wait until you just showered or bathed, use it whenever your skin needs a little extra love.

What do I use?
I actually use a combination of a few different butters and oils. I have always had a holy grail combination of butters I have used, but due to recent shortages, I keep having to tweak the recipe slightly. Typically, I use a combo of Shea, Cocoa, Mango, and Kokum. We needed to scratch cocoa simply due to pricing. It is just too expensive currently to justify using it in my tiny business. Some other butters are getting harder and harder to source due to the cocoa crisis, but I have found a new butter I am excited to test out and try. Sal Butter. I have high hopes for this stuff... stay tuned for what my thoughts are on it. I also use something called a modified tapioca starch. This isn't a regular tapioca starch...this stuff is like magic. It helps all of these heavy butters feel less thick and greasy on your skin. The tapioca starch mixed with a combo of MCT oil and Isopropyl Myristate make for a THICK cream that actually absorbs into your skin quickly and feel less greasy.

And, once again, just like yesterdays whipped cleanser post...the fragrances!
Just like many of our other bathe. products, our Body Buttercream comes in a variety of everyday fragrances, along with seasonal favorites.

Now I want to hear from you!
Have you tried our Body Buttercream? What's your favorite fragrance? And are you an everyday moisturizer person, or a "my skin is starting to resemble an alligator" person? Sadly, I am definitely getting alligator skin before I think I should probably put some moisturizer one... and I make this stuff. 😂😂😂

This is what 500 lip balm tubes look like!
It is time to restock for the holiday season and do a ton of combo sets with a matching lip scrub.
I had a special request for Cotton Candy....but what else would you like to see?
Please no one suggest blueberry. 😂😂😂 I tried that and pretty much everyone disliked it.

7 Days of bathe. — Day 1: Whipped Cleanser & Shave Soap!

What is whipped cleanser?

Imagine your favorite body wash and some yummy marshmallow fluff had a baby and created a bubbly, buttercream-textured cleanser.

Our Whipped Cleanser & Shave Soap is a thick, fluffy, creamy alternative to traditional body wash that also doubles as a shaving product. Just add a little water and work it into a rich, creamy lather!

What makes ours special?

You can find "whipped soaps" just about anywhere these days. When we first started making ours more than eight years ago, they were much harder to find. I can't prove it, but I believe I was one of the first in our area to make them!

I'm sure everyone who makes whipped cleansers has their own great product, just like we do. One of the biggest differences between makers is the ingredients they choose to add to their cleansing base.

So, what do I add to ours? Glad you asked!

Glycerin – A powerhouse humectant that attracts and holds water, helping to hydrate your skin.

Shea Butter – A butter that helps soften and condition the skin.

Sunflower Oil – An emollient that helps leave skin feeling soft and smooth. In leave-on products, it can also help support the skin's moisture barrier and reduce moisture loss. More about that when we cover body oils!

Jojoba Oil – This is a unique "oil" because, technically, it's a liquid wax made up primarily of wax esters. It helps condition the skin and provides a silky feel. Here's a fun science fact... Jojoba's wax esters are structurally similar to some of the lipids naturally found in our skin's sebum. This makes it an interesting ingredient for skin-conditioning products!

Kaolin Clay – Adds a smooth, silky feel to our whipped cleanser. It's also one of the ingredients I intentionally included when I decided I wanted this product to double as a shaving cleanser.

Kaolin clay consists of extremely fine particles and feels wonderfully silky when rubbed between your fingers. In our formula, it contributes to the creamy texture and the smooth glide I wanted for shaving. I haven't used anything else to shave with since I started making this product in 2018.

Nerdy Mandy Fact... with all these added ingredients, I've really pushed the boundaries of what our whipped cleanser base can handle.

I won't get too deep into formulation science, but there's a limit to how much additional oil, butter, and other ingredients a surfactant-based cleanser can accommodate before its texture, stability, and lather start to suffer.

Too much of a good thing can mean a product that separates, loses its fluffy consistency, or doesn't produce those big, beautiful bubbles. I really pushed this about as far as I could without sacrificing the products intended purpose.

How do you use it?

For everyday cleansing:

Scoop out a small amount. I tell everyone to literally start with about one finger's worth!

Depending on your water type and what you're using to wash with, you may need a little more.

I highly recommend using a loofah, but washcloths, sponges, and even your hands work well. Just add a touch of water and work it into a beautiful, creamy lather.

For shaving:

I scoop out about the same amount of product and rub it directly onto the skin I'm shaving, adding a little water to create a creamy, slippery lather.

Then shave as usual!

In my experience, it rinses easily from the razor without gunking it up, even with the addition of kaolin clay.

And the best part...fragrances.

Our Whipped Cleanser & Shave Soap makes a fantastic gift because it's available in a huge variety of everyday fragrances, plus we always have seasonal favorites! So even if you don't know what someone would like, I am sure we can find something for everyone.

Now I want to hear from you!

Have you tried our Whipped Cleanser & Shave Soap? What's your favorite fragrance? And what do you love most about it?
