I made the new Skin Glow Facial Moisturizer available online, and sent out notices to my Preferred Customers early Monday morning. It was sold out by this morning. Fortunately, I just made another batch and we are good to go! You can read about all the wonderful ingredients of this unscented, natural moisturizer. You can [...]
It’s been a long time coming…first the requests from several of you for a facial moisturizer…then the various formulas I created that weren’t quite right…then “field” testing by real, live customers…and finally testing by a certified lab. I just found out today that it passed the lab testing with flying colors! I am very excited [...]
I’ve been working on formulating a facial moisturizer, and finally came up with something I thought was worth trying. I asked for volunteers to test it for me for a couple weeks, and just received the last of the feedback on Saturday. I wasn’t sure what sort of response to expect.

I can’t say enough about Melanie at Herbal Natures. She is my go-to gal when it comes to mineral makeup. She makes all kinds of foundations, blushes, eye colors, bronzers, concealers, and a finishing veil. My skin has never been so healthy!

This is it!! Third time was the charm. I’m ready to let my testers decide if this is truly a wonderful facial moisturizer. The final formula I made today has a smoother texture, is light yellow in color, and it is as un-scented as I can make it. Here is my ingredient list: Distilled water [...]
I made another test batch of facial moisturizer today. A very small batch. Good thing too! Do you see how bright yellow/orange it is? That’s Sea Buckthorn Berry CO2 Extract making it turn color. I don’t think that’s going to work. I tried adding some Vitamin C Esters, and they were a little tricky to [...]
I made my first test batch of facial moisturizer this week, and it didn’t turn out so well either. The texture is fine, but when I was putting it into sample bottles, the warmth from my hands caused some separation. If the emulsion isn’t stable enough to be handled, I’m going to re-formulate! The good [...]
Yesterday I mentioned that I would create a survey for you to get a better idea of what you are looking for in a facial moisturizer. I also decided to give you a little incentive for participating. I will choose a random participant to receive a free Great Cakes Soapworks facial moisturizer when they become [...]

Carla chose the Creamy Castile soap for her dry skin, and I think she’s really going to love the Facial Moisturizer & Replenishing Creme as well. This facial moisturizer is not for [...]
