Typical store-bought lotions do more harm than good... coating our body with harmful preservatives, dyes, perfumes and useless hazards that dry us out, speed up the aging process and even cause cancer and many other health and skin issues. Creams, lotions and overall skin care products need to be free of toxins, because they are used everyday and because they are designed to stay on and soak into
our skin...and eventually us! Solstice Organics can make healing, soothing and regenerating moisture become a part of your everyday life! Don't let naturally preserved products scare you away! We bottle most of our products in smaller containers so they may be used up before they expire and lose their benefits. In my humble opinion, I would rather deal with sour milk than cancer or the hundreds of other side effects we are exposed to through toxic preservatives. Moisturizers work best when the ingredients are fresh anyway. All natural and handmade body, bath and skincare products made in Seattle using unrefined, organic, fair trade, local ingredients. All of our products are 100% preservative, chemical and dye free. About the Ingredients:
Unrefined Cocoa Butter absorbs easily allowing it to pe*****te skin deeply. It softens skin by forming a protective barrier around it.

It contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A so in addition to helping maintain skins elasticity, it also protects skin from harmful UV rays. Castor Oil is the staple ingredient used for the Oil Cleansing Method. The ricinoleic acid in castor oil works to inhibit many viruses and bacteria, and as castor oil is able to pe*****te skin tissue deeply, this makes it an effective treatment for acne and an excellent way to keep skin looking young and fresh. It breaks up internal and external scar tissue and prevents new scars from forming. Many people also use Castor Oil on their hair for hair growth as it is known to prevent hair loss and regenerate hair. Coconut Oil is anti fungal, anti bacterial and anti inflammatory.

Whole Milk is high in skin softening lipids and mild exfoliating lactic acid. It makes a pampering bath additive and skin cleanser for normal, dry and sensitive skin. Raw, Local Honey is truly called natures healing nectar and it has so many healing properties that I am unable to list them all in this limited space! Raw honey has antibiotic, anti fungal, anti septic and anti bacterial properties. It heals wounds, reduces scar formation, increases collagen fibers and improves skin elasticity. It is wonderful in assisting cell regeneration for more youthful looking skin. Honey also combats acne in many ways. It removes impurities by unclogging pores and preventing breakouts and heals acne by reducing bacteria and scar formation. Another amazing raw honey benefit for skin is its protection against sunburns. Antioxidants present in raw honey protects the skin against harmful rays of sun. Jojoba Oil is not actually an oil. It is a liquid wax. It is lightweight, anti inflammatory, anti bacterial, and fights acne. Jojoba is similar to our own skin sebum, allowing it to absorb easily and pe*****te deeply. It can improve or relive an assortment of skin conditions including psoriasis, chapped skin, sunburns and eczema. Rosehip Oil is a wonderful oil with many healing properties. It's primary constituents are Essential Fatty Acids, Vitamin E, Vitamin C and Beta Carotenes. Vitamin C antioxidants stimulate collagen production and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It is also known to reduce scars. It protects against UV rays that cause photo aging. Rosehip oil aids in removing redness and irritation which also it it a possible treatment for Rosacia. Due to it's small molecular structure, Rosehip oil pe*****tes the skin deeply. Vitamin E Oil (56,000 IU) is used as a natural preservative.

All caught up on orders, several boxes and large envelopes shipped out this weekend/today...just in time to receive another round of orders :)
On another note I would like to donate some of our proceeds to the Seattle Pug Rescue in Lilly's name so I am finishing the details on that. I'm thinking I will run a special for a week or two where 75-100% of sales will be donated to the rescue...
