I've finally found a “green” packaging for deodorants – cardboard tubes! I'm so excited to be able to offer no-plastic deodorants! These actually hold slightly more than the standard tubes (3 oz vs. 2.5), and look smaller to boot – they have a more compact shape. I love that these are completely recyclable or compostable, including the paper label I apply, and the fact that they are so much more attractive is an added bonus :) These tubes simply push up from the bottom – it may take a bit of effort to get the contents sliding, but it is such an ingeniously simple design! Because these are paper, and my deodorant is oil/butter/wax-based, there may occasionally be a bit of staining/bleeding on the paper at the mouth. Obviously this won't affect the function, just the absolute visual perfection :), and of course I will not sell anything with more than minimal blemishes. My recipe is based on much research, and then trial-and-error tweaking, resulting in a formula that contains: Shea butter, beeswax, almond, castor & coconut oils, cocoa butter, arrowroot powder, kaolin & bentonite clays, and essential oils for both fragrance and, more importantly, anti-bacterial/anti-microbial power. This formula is the perfect balance of firmness (beeswax), meltable/glide-on-ness (oils), moisturizing (butters) and function (arrowroot & clay powders) – and there are no harmful ingredients - technically, you could ingest it and it wouldn't do any harm! I do not use any baking soda - my research found that many people are allergic to/irritated by the soda in natural deodorants, resulting in rashes. It appears that often users develop a sensitivity to the baking soda with continued use, so I have avoided it in all my deodorants, and use arrowroot starch instead. Scented with Bulgarian lavender, a slightly sweeter, more floral/less pungently herbal variety of lavender.

The fragrance is my own blend of cedarwood and bergamot essential oils, chosen for both their great woodsy and dark-citrus aromas, as well as their antibacterial powers. Bergamot can be a photo-sensitizer, but for skin application I've made sure to use the premium Bergaptene-free version, so it will not bother your skin.

These sweet florals are tied together with the vanilla-like base note of Peru balsam.

All-natural laundry soap, made with Solace Farm soap and only 4 other ingredients - no fragrance, the most common allergen and skin irritant in cleaners, cosmetics, soaps, etc, so this is great for sensitive skin, cloth diapers, baby clothes, and such. There are no phthalates, chlorine, laureths, or other questionable ingredients, it is simply: Soap - to clean! Washing soda - to lower the ph for better cleaning Borax - boosts whitening and cleaning power Citric acid - keeps precipitates in suspension, helps rinse clean - esp. good for hard water. Bentonite - known for drawing impurities, also acts a carrier for the fragrance/essential oil. This will work great in an HE washer - that's what I have myself - as the handmade soap does not produce a lot of bubbles when paired with these other ingredients. The recommended dosage for HE is ~1 Tablespoon/load, and doubled for a non-HE washer - that is 42 loads based on HE usage. This laundry soap comes in a repurposed plastic bottle I received soap-making lye in. It has, of course, been washed first :-) This powder will come as either a loose powder, or pressed tablets, depending on the time of year (humidity levels). Add a message or email ahead of time if you have a particular preference. I have priced this laundry soap (based on HE usage) similarly to 7th Generation, Mrs. Meyers, Biokleen, etc. as priced on Amazon - but without the cost of the fragrance! "Natural" laundry powder costs averaged about $.22/load, ranging from $.16 to $.30. This price is $.10/load, which I can maintain if my packaging costs stay low, so please return containers if at all possible!

These lip balms have quickly become my best-selling item in my Etsy shop and at craft fairs. Please choose a scent from the list below - if you don't add a note with your choice, I will choose for you :-) I apologize for the run-on description, the formatting of this site doesn't allow line spacing. My handmade grass-fed tallow lip balms have had a makeover – I've tweaked the recipe slightly to be even better, and I'm loving the difference. While the previous recipe was wonderful, this version is even creamier and smoother, hands-down the best thing I've put on my lips. • NEW - Lanolin for the most moisture-packed lip balm possible • NEW - Castor oil for extra conditioning and shine • Same amazing grass-fed tallow full of vitamins and nutrients • Same eco-friendly plastic-free paper tube and label I've been using my grass-fed tallow balm, made with our own Scottish Highland beef or sheep tallow that I render here at SFH, for several years now and love it, and have always used it on my lips, but I had never poured lip tubes because I just hate the plastic! There's more plastic than product in those little tubes, and I just couldn't justify that – but then I found paper tubes!! They are the same size as the standard plastic tubes (both the .2 oz fill and the overall tube size), and simply push up from the bottom instead of the screw mechanism. The caps don't snap on quite as tightly as the plastic ones, but they usually fit on fairly snugly, I trade them around if one is loose until I find a good fit (and a customer has helpfully pointed out that a cap from a commercial lip tube will also work well). These tubes are entirely paperboard, with a waxed interior to prevent leaking, and I use paper labels, so they are entirely recyclable or compostable. I do pay a good bit more for these than the plastic tubes, but I really believe it's worth it. These are available in a large selection of fragrances as well as unscented and even custom blending, just add a note in the optional text box. Lanolin is just amazing, I've found it to be one of the most repairing substances I've ever put on my skin. It is simply the oils from sheep wool, purified into a rich, creamy, sticky wax-like substance. It truly has an amazing ability to soften and hydrate dry skin – I've been known to use it pure, directly on my lips, in times of great need :-) If you've used my lip balms before, I think you'll also notice, and appreciate, the added benefits of lanolin in this improved recipe. And this stuff lasts - I am definitely able to go longer before re-applying. Castor oil also contributes to the creamier feel of this balm – it is a much thicker oil than most, and adds shine and gloss to lip products. It's also known for being great for our skin, encouraging collagen and elastin production and helping penetrate and heal dry or damaged skin. The rest of this lip balm is the same fantastic ingredients of grass-fed tallow, local beeswax, shea butter and olive oil. If you have an allergy or sensitivity to any of these ingredients, just contact me for a custom-made lip balm, I can substitute any of the ingredients for you. These lip balms are scented with either essential oils or flavor oils (fragrance oils specifically for safe lip use), and I've added a very small amount of all-natural sweetener to enhance the fragrance. This sweetener is simply stevia and coconut oil, and I use just enough to give the scent a well-rounded aspect, similar to using salt in food – it just seems a little flat without it, but these are not candy-sweet, like many commercial lip balms. If you prefer a lip balm without sweetener, I can do that - but be aware that it may just seem a little "off" or flat in flavor/scent. Our senses of taste and smell are so intertwined, so much of the "scent" is actually the taste (the stevia), and without it the fragrance may not really "bloom" for you - but I'm happy to make that if you prefer. I do have a few flavors that are pre-sweetened with saccharin, and these will be clearly indicated in the selection drop-down box with “PSW”, and below in the individual descriptions. If possible, I use a natural essential oil, and second preference is an unsweetened flavor oil, so that I can add my own stevia sweetener, but some scents I can only find in pre-sweetened form. Current options are: Pure Essential Oils with a Touch of Stevia Sweetener: • Cedarwood & Bergamot – Woodsy and dark-citrus, these essential oils make a great lip balm for men • Citrus Blend - Grapefruit, Lime and Orange. I can customize which I use, just let me know. • Coffee Bean - Actual coffee EO, this is a light scent of true coffee - no vanilla, mocha, latte, etc. • Ginger Lime • Grapefruit • Lemon • Lime • Orange • Peppermint • Star Anise – This pure essential oil is classic black licorice, pure and simple. Essential Oil/Unsweetened Flavor Oil blend, with a Touch of Stevia Sweetener • Apple Sage - A blend of red & green apple flavors, with pure Dalmation Sage EO, this is my new favorite • Chocolate Mint – Chocolate flavor oil, with pure Peppermint essential oil, and a hint of stevia sweetener. This is a very light scent, no tingle/burning at all from the Peppermint, but the decadent fragrance comes through really nicely. If you'd prefer a stronger fragrance, message me for a custom blending. • Coconut Lime – Coconut flavor oil with pure essential oil of Lime for a tropical summery fragrance. • Mint Julep – Bourbon flavor oil, with pure Peppermint essential oil, a touch of unsweetened Honey flavor, and just enough stevia sweetener to round out the fragrance. This truly smells like the classic cocktail, I was impressed when I first tried the Bourbon oil, and is a great lip balm for the guys who don't want a typical “girly” lip balm. • Orange Vanilla - Vanilla flavor oil with real Orange EO, this is both warm and citrus, bright and mellow. Pre-Sweetened Flavor Oil with Saccharin • Root Beer – The classic lip balm, this truly smells just like root beer. Kids will love this one, as will anyone who grew up on this staple of the lip balm world. Stay tuned, I'm attempting to reformulate this one with essential oils for an all-natural root beer lip balm. • Dulce de Leche – This is the aroma of warm caramel, just delicious. • Mango And of course, I offer this lip balm in Unscented as well, either with or without sweetener. I also have this same balm available in a reusable, recyclable metal tin. It comes in 4 sizes, from a tiny pocket-size, all the way up to a 4 oz container, see my Grass-fed Tallow Balm for details.

Handmade lip balm, made with local beeswax (or candelilla wax for a vegan version), cocoa and shea butter, and castor and olive oils. Please choose a scent from the list below, if you don't I will choose for you :-) Beeswax gives this balm staying power, the butters are super-moisturizing, and castor oil is famed for being great for our skin, encouraging collagen and elastin production and helping penetrate and heal dry or damaged skin. It also adds a natural gloss and shine to this lip balm. If you have an allergy or sensitivity to any of these ingredients, just contact me for a custom-made lip balm, I can substitute any of the ingredients for you, and as mentioned, I can also make a vegan version with candelilla wax instead of the beeswax.

Woodsy, herbal cedarwood and sage essential oils give this solid lotion a masculine fragrance. This all-natural balm is ultra-moisturizing with almond & olive oils and shea & cocoa butters, and always-local beeswax makes it last. This balm comes in a 2.5 oz metal tin with lid - please recycle it or return it to help keep my costs and material footprint (and therefore yours!) as low as possible. Why use a solid moisturizer? Solid lotion balm has no preservatives, unlike liquid lotions that require some kind of preservative to avoid harmful bacterial growth that can occur anytime water is added. Also, you get more for your money, since you’re not paying for all that water, preservatives, colors (even in white lotions often!), and unpronounceable, mystery ingredients. A solid lotion is also great for travel - it won’t leak and avoids the liquid restrictions for air travel. Lastly, it makes a great lip balm, for a fraction of the price of the tiny little tubes! If you’re interested in a moisturizer that’s even more sustainable, eco-friendly & bio-ethical, local, and hand-produced, check out our grassfed tallow balms and salves as well! Also, stop by our blog at SolaceFarmHomestead.com and browse the photo galleries to learn more about our farm, family, what we do, and how we do it here at Solace Farm.

This is my new favorite scent - my own blend of zingy lime and earthy ginger, tied together with a hint of lavender. I’ve tried blending ginger and lime before, but it never balanced until I added just a touch of lavender - perfect!

Also, you get more for your money, since you’re not paying for all that water, preservatives, colors (even in white lotions often!), and unpronounceable, mystery ingredients. A solid lotion is also great for travel - it won’t leak and avoids the liquid restrictions for air travel. Lastly, it makes a great lip balm, for a fraction of the price of the tiny little tubes! If you’re interested in a moisturizer that’s even more sustainable, eco-friendly & bio-ethical, local, and hand-produced, check out our grassfed tallow balms and salves as well! Also, stop by our blog at SolaceFarmHomestead.com and browse the photo galleries to learn more about our farm, family, what we do, and how we do it here at Solace Farm.

This is my new favorite scent - my own blend of zingy lime and earthy ginger, tied together with a hint of lavender. I’ve tried blending ginger and lime before, but it never balanced until I added just a touch of lavender - perfect! I like this so much that I also made a goat milk soap and a deodorant with it, as well as my tallow balm and tallow salve. This all-natural balm is ultra-moisturizing with almond & olive oils and shea & cocoa butters, and always-local beeswax makes it last.
