Earth Alkemie’s new products are finally up and it’s also time for the last mini sale! I am so sorry that the sale was later than anticipated (I was delayed due to health issues, and also I had ingredient issues so some of my supplies came late and in addition I decided to release different products than I was going to release, so had to redo the labels, website, etc. Still releasing the same types of products–soap, toner, cleanser–, but just different ones than I originally thought since a couple ingredients are no longer available or very hard to obtain).
There are three new products.
The first new product is an aromatherapy bar soap called New Day. I have taken an african black soap and have added lots of creamy coconut milk and rich shea butter. I then scented it with an amazing sunny floral earthy blend of orange, ylang ylang, lavender, and patchouli (it smells wonderful!). This soap is perfect for blemished skin (whether it is oily or mildly dehydrated/dry skin). I have been using it as a facial soap as well as a hand/body soap.
I have also crafted a lovely aromatherapy liquid cleanser. Warrior Aromatherapy Liquid Cleanser is soap based, and made with many herbs that are beneficial for blemished skin, including rosemary, dandelion, and licorice. It is super gentle, and perfect for oily, combo, and normal skin, but mildly dehydrated skin will also love it. This cleanser smells divine! I have scented it with a blend of several essential oils including rosemary, ylang ylang, and bergamot. I love this cleanser, and have been using it before and during my moon days to help keep my skin clear!
The last new product is Purity Toner. I crafted this for oily and blemished skin types. It contains certified organic rosemary, and ethically wild harvested witch hazel and lavender hydrosols, as well as leucidal (eco cert preservative). Rosemary hydrosol is thought to be beneficial for blemished skin, and aromatherapist S. Catty mentions that witch hazel hydrosol is high in antioxidants. I find lavender to be very balancing (whether skin is too dry or too oily) and helpful for blemished skin too. I love using leucidal since it is a super gentle preservative. I think most skin types can use it, unless a person has severely dehydrated/dry skin. My skin is balanced but can get dehydrated and I find Purity Toner very hydrating. I use witch hazel distillate/hydrosol and not the extract (witch hazel extract is usually made with the distillate and alcohol), so this formulation is really gentle. Great for aging skin too! Alcohol free.
Please note: though I usually recommend refrigerating products when not in use, I don’t recommend refrigerating Purity toner. Store at room temperature (in a place that isn’t too cool or too warm. Do not store in the bathroom).
Originally, I was just going to have just a few old items on sale, and wasn’t going to put the new products on sale, but I changed my mind and put the new items on sale 🙂 instead of a couple older ones (some items will go on sale throughout the holiday season). ALL of the new products are on sale for 15% off of the regular product price. 🙂
The grande size of Butterfly Terra Elixir is also on sale, for 20% off of its regular price (Butterfly was the customer pick for the last mini-sale).
I was only going to have a sale for 2-3 days (like the other mini-sales) but decided to run the sale for a whole week, to thank my customers for waiting so long for the new products and the sale 🙂
So the sale will run from now (Friday October 8, 2010) until Thursday October 14, 2010 11:59 pm EST. No need to use a coupon, the sale prices are already on the website.
Edited to add: the current gift sets will only be available until the end of the sale (since they have been available for a while). I will be adding new ones in the future.
