Beeswax Salve - $5.50 - 4-oz. jar and $10.50 - 8 oz. jar


All-Natural Beeswax Salve!  4 oz. jars (OUT OF STOCK IN 4 oz.)
8 oz. IN STOCK - in lavender and unscented

Ingredients:  Olive Oil & Beeswax.  DOES NOT CONTAIN PETROLEUM PRODUCTS!!!

~Available in Unscented and Scented with Lavender Essential Oil~

How To Use:  Apply Unscented Beeswax Salve to wounded, chapped or flaky skin.  Great for sensitive babies' bottoms, too, as a barrier to prevent rashes.  Apply Lavender-Scented Beeswax Salve to your chapped, flaky, and dry skin to form a protective barrier between your delicate skin and the outdoor elements.

C.S. from Duluth, Georgia says this:  "I use the lavender beeswax on Emma and she stays cleared up ... She does not cry when applying and it keeps her from being chapped to the point where she would cry when she wet her diaper. Our small jar is half gone and I will be ordering more soon."

All-Natural Laundry Powder




All-Natural Laundry Powder:  No chemicals, safe for your septic system and safer for the environment than name-brand laundry detergents. 

Ingredients:  Sodium bicarbonate (Baking Soda), Sodium Tetraborate (20 Mule-Team Borax (TM)), Sodium Percarbonate & Sodium Carbonate (Oxi-Clean Laundry Booster (TM)), Grated Castile Soap. *This product does not contain a sudsing agent*



How To Use:  Use 1 Tablespoon for regular loads, 2 Tablespoons for heavily soiled loads.  Add directly to water, then add laundry.

Large Bag: Up to 48 loads - $8.00/bag
Small Bag: Up to 32 loads - $6.00/bag

Why use my all-natural laundry powder?  Baking Soda is an all-natural cleanser and deodorizer.  Sodium Tetraboarte, a/k/a Borax, is a boron mineral and salt that’s mined directly from the ground. Borax is wholly natural. It doesn’t cause cancer, accumulate in the body, or absorb through the skin. It is not harmful to the environment. In fact, the largest borax mine in the world – found in Boron, California – is considered by many to be the most ecologically sound and environmentally sustainable mine in the United States.  Borax is not boric acid.  Sodium percarbonate (Oxi-Clean) is solid hydrogen peroxide and is used in many eco-friendly cleaning products.


I have used this product myself for countless loads of laundry and have never experienced a rash or skin irritation.  This laundry powder gently cleans my regular loads of laundry, and super-cleans my heavily-soiled loads of laundry.

Tip:  Add 5 - 10 drops of your favorite essential oil directly to your laundry load.

~Safe for HE washing machines!~
