love – The Loving Essence Blog

I have been really in the holiday spirit this year. Everything from gift giving, cheesy (and I mean Cheesy) holiday movies, Eggnog, and even the ugly Christmas sweater has been on my radar of typical holiday indulgence. This is a huge shift for me this year as I have come to accept that the spirit of the holidays is something to cultivate, embody, and make my own!

This year, in support of enhanced self-care, holiday cheer, & gratitude, The Loving Essence has several Holiday Gift Sets for the season of gift-giving. Just a loving reminder that all of our products are phthalate and mineral oil free which is fantastic considering the new articles that have come out which highlight the unfortunate information that many of the hair products marketed to black women may contain high levels of toxins that can impact the reproductive system (post here).

HolidayDecadance_nopeace — Holiday Decadence Gift Set

One of my favorite gift sets (and our featured collection) is the Holiday Decadence Gift Set. It includes Cinnamon and Myrrh Body Butter, White Chocolate Lotion Bar, and a Cocoa Lip Balm. Together they make for a perfect combination of moisturized skin and lips, radiant glow, with a warm and welcoming fragrance that’s almost good enough to eat! You can also purchase each item individually.

Festive Pack — Festive Feet Gift Set Combo

For those looking for a way to pamper their feet, we offer our Festive Feet combo.This includes our Peppermint Foot Cream as well as our all new Peppermint Foot Scrub! This gift set is a definite feet treat because not only does it leave your skin feeling smooth, it also provides the added skin benefit of moisturizing and restoring dry cracked feet. It’s just one of the things that can happen when you combine a tried & true essential oil with natural oils, butters, & exfoliants to provide spa day quality and lasting results!

Natural skin care products (and making skin care stuff) has been a personal love of mine for years. I remember when I had a severe bout of contact dermatitis around the nape of my neck and behind my ears in my sophomore and junior year of college. Steroid creams failed to do the trick. It was during that time that I Chamomile Infused Body Butter really began to take a look at what I put on my skin.

In the very early stages of my skin care journey, I would utilized various skin loving oils and butters for the unique benefits that they had on my skin. Because different products have different effects, I would often use one oil and butter in the morning and another oil or butter in the afternoon. This evolved into finding ways to combine each product to get the best possible results from these ingredients with ease of use and improved effect.

Through research, trial and error, I have learned, and continue to learn, how to make healthier skin nurturing products for use. I enjoy sharing these products with others and it always makes my day when I hear and see another person celebrate the skin they are in. In that moment, I can truly see the loving essence in that individual as they are more confident and appreciative of their authentic beauty.
