Lotion Update

I mentioned in a previous post that I was thinking about re-naming the Jojoba-Shea Lotions. Well, I did. Not without doing a bit of research first, of course.

I wanted to use a name that people actually search for on Google. At first, I thought I’d call them Aloe Vera Lotions, since aloe vera juice is the main ingredient. But then I read an article about Aloe Vera Creams, and their stance was that it should be at least 50%, and closer to 95% aloe if you’re going to actually call it an aloe vera lotion. Mine are about 40%.

So I went with a fairly common term instead. They are simply “Hand & Body Lotion” now. Same formula, different labels. In fact, the new labels wrap all the way around the bottles now. Hopefully no more peeling edges! Of course, I can only fit two labels per label sheet instead of four, but I think I can live with that.

These are the fragrances that are currently in stock:
Lavender Meadows (essential oil blend of lavender, patchouli, palma rosa, and ylang ylang), Almond Milk, Stress Relief (essential oil blend of eucalyptus, spearmint and peppermint), Grapefruit Parfait (brand new scent blend with a natural vanilla infusion and grapefruit & orange essential oils), and Black Raspberry Creme.

My goal is to create all natural scent blends, so once the current Almond Milk and Black Raspberry Creme lotions are sold, they will not be re-stocked. These are sold at Greatcakessoapworks.com for just $8.00 each, or if you purchase 3 or more, the price drops to $7.50. Update: Almond Milk lotions are sold.

Let me know if you have some ideas for natural scent blends!
