Lemongrass Spa

Along with healthy eating I have also tried to start using healthier cleaning products around the house. By this I don't only mean mean cleaning solutions, I also mean how we clean ourselves. One of my favorite companies to buy soap, lotion, and shampoo from is Lemongrass Spa. All Lemongrass Spa products are handmade in Colorado of all natural products with no harsh chemicals added and are a great price.

Some of the natural moisturizers and components used in creating Lemongrass products are:

Almond Oil - Sweet almond oil is a good general lubricating oil suitable for most skin types. It is rich in protein and vitamin E that softens and smoothes the skin. Used in creating most of our Body Polish, Lotion Bars, Peppermint Foot Balm and others.

Aloe Vera - from the Aloe Vera plant, this natural liquid is used in our Body Crèmes, Hand & Body Lotion and Body Spritz products. It helps soothe irritated or dry skin because of the polysaccharides contained therein help improve skin's ability to hydrate and protect itself.

Mango Butter - Obtained from the kernels of the mango tree. It has a high content of stearic acid, which makes it similar to cocoa butter. Mango butter has good emoliency and lends protection against the sun. Prevents dry skin, reduces degeneration of skin cells and restores elasticity of skin tone. Featured in some of our Body Polish products and moisturizers.

Allantoin - A healing, moisturizing, soothing and anti-irritating natural component found in comfrey root. It is a cell-proliferating healing agent, which stimulates healthy formation of tissue. Excellent in the treatment of acne, sunburn, abrasions and mature skin ailments. Used in the Face Crème and Tea Tree Face Crème products.

Jojoba Oil - excellent natural oil for improving moisture in the skin. Is most like the natural sebum, or oils in human skin. Used in Body Crème, Hand & Body Lotion and more.

Vitamin E Oil - An anti-oxidant that helps slow skin's natural aging process. Used in most of our skin care product line.

Shea Butter - Contains a high content of fatty acids that moisturizes and retains elasticity of skin. Shea Butter is found in the tropics of Africa. It is extracted from the nuts of the Shea-Karite tree which begins to bear fruit after about 15 years; and can take up to 30 years to bear a quality crop of nuts with a high content of irremovable fatty acid. It is this irremovable fatty acid that gives Shea Butter its unique healing properties and makes it far superior to other vegetable butters. Used in creating Whipped Body Butter, Almond Body Butter, Body Crème, Hand & Body Lotion and several body polish products.

On a regular basis I use the facial creme with botanicals, shampoo and conditioner, deodorant, and my favorite Oatmeal Milk and Honey Body soap. My favorite scent from Lemongrass if the Grapefruit Lily and I regular use the hand soap, lotion, deodorant and shower gel.

I love that I can purchase the products from my good friend and business partner Carri's sister Kristin, but it is also difficult for me to plan ahead and when I run our of lotions I can't just run down to the Vitamin Cottage and get more. I actually have to place an order and pay a little extra with shipping costs. Although they make it very easy to place the order through a consultants website, or I can have a home party and earn commissions to use on lemongrass products. I did have a party once and it was great fun and of course I have attended many!

I highly recommend Lemongrass Spa for natural, chemical free, handmade products.
