We honor the bees that provide us with the golden honey and beeswax that make our lotion bars so rich and yummy. They busy themselves at the abundance of sunflowers that grow here in summer--from cultivated, elegant gardens to roadsides. Our silky lotion bars infused with the healing properties of calendula will just plain make your skin feel better. Most salves come in a tin, but with my Lotion Bar you just hold the bar between your hands and rub— rub it anyplace where your dry skin needs soothing. While you are enjoying the sensual process of rubbing the bar (rather than digging some hand balm out of a container) the natural oils actually melt from the heat of your skin, absorbing quickly to moisturize dry skin and soothe chapped lips, softening and nourishing your hands and body. My lotion bars are uniquely suited for airline travel (a solid lotion!), massage, cuticle care, dry elbows and heels, cracked fingers and your most stubborn dry skin.

• Local (NM) beeswax, coconut oil, almond oil infused with organic, locally-grown calendula flowers and essential oils (in the scented products).
