More Changes!

Oh we are full of them lately, you just aren't going to keep up with us...

No, we aren't trying to make you crazy, we are trying to make it better for everyone. We loved the pump bottle and we know you do too, but, the cost is just too high and they are more difficult for us to fill, leaving us to only offer you a very limited amount of scents, sooooooo.... we are going back to the jars. The pumps will be used for unscented only until our supply is depleted.

Other changes which I think you will LOVE: We will be adding more soaps and more fragrances very soon. If you haven't signed up for our newsletter, do so to get our up to the minute updates.

I will also post them here if you don't want any email from me.

Soaps currently available:

Black Pumpkin
Poison Apple
Ruby Red Rock Star
Sexy Laundry Day
Coco Java
Cubano
Smash Ball Sweets

On the curing rack:
Linzer cookies: Halloween
Spicy Chai Latte: November 5
New design! Ruby Red Rock Star November 18
Mar Bar: November 22

Have a great day!

Mama Bomb - POW!


I know I had the devastating news about discontinuing the whipped shea butter but I have good news on this fine morning....

We have begun to make Mama Bomb at the soap studio and it is wonderful. What? You didn't think I'd take a jar right off the top for my very own self? Pishaw! I put it on yesterday and this morning I am smoother than baby's skin.

Look at these butters:

Doesn't looking at it make you feel saved? Ahh, perhaps I look at it and start dreaming of being teeny tiny and climbing around the cocoa butter and then diving into the shea butter and then sliding right into the smoothitude of the macadamia nut butter. Oh heaven in a jar.

So whether you want to protect your skin this winter or you have a bun in the oven, Mama Bomb might help you rub out that tight, dry, itchy skin. Feel it nourish you. You know you want it.

(it's also good as a lip conditioner right before bed)

Catch it here

Some Changes


As companies grow, I notice that some expand their offerings and some trim the fat and hone in on a few products. Because we are a company that believes in making things fresh and keeping our customers happy, we have decided to trim the fat and hone in on what we believe are our best products so we can make them better every time we create a new batch. We will polish our skills every day. That way we won't spread ourselves too thin.

I believe we had spread ourselves too thin. We weren't making junk, but we were too busy making too much and I am ready to zone in and focus.

These are being discontinued immediately:
  • Coconut Milk Bath Soak
  • Whipped Shea Butter
  • Salt Snow
I understand if you all want to come after me with lit torches for discontinuing the Whipped Shea Butter, but I won't make it anymore. Our Creme Fresh is lovely and our Mama Bomb is very nourishing. I hope you can understand.

I am sorry :(



I do hope you enjoy our soaps. I will be adding more and more every month. Also, keep your eyes peeled for salt bars soon.....

Reducing Waste



As customers, you may have received a box from us that had an amazon.com swoop on the side or a Brambleberry box. We purchase shipping boxes so that we have the proper sized boxes to ship your orders in, however, our studio is half filled with boxes from all of the supplies that we order to make the products you order. It seems irresponsible to buy boxes and then recycle all the others and not reuse some that would work just fine, right?

So instead of buying boxes and recycling ALL the ones that come into our studio, we have made the decision that if an order fits perfectly into a box that is in-house, whether it has been shipped before or not, and it is in good, sturdy condition, we will use it. Or should I say, reuse it.

We have always tried to be environmentally responsible. We recycle, reuse when we can and we use sustainably grown organic palm oil in our soaps so that the orangutans aren't massacred. Please read this article if you haven't already, on the palm oil issue, especially if you soap with it.

If you get your order in a box from amazon.com, you were chosen to be a part of our reusing/recycling efforts. Be proud with us! And no, we don't use anything from amazon.com in our products, but my husband reviews things for them and loves books.

Lounge Perfume Oil



Lounge is our newest perfume oil that smells like a warm and comforting combination of worn in leather, amber, sandalwood and vetiver, an essential oil that smells woody and smoky. When I smell it on my skin and close my eyes, I feel like I'm in a warmly lit lounge with large leather chairs, antique furniture, giant crystal chandeliers, paintings, candles and creaky wood floors.


Thank you for waiting. It was worth it.

Lounge is finally available at our Etsy shop in our 2 ml glass shortie vials and in either of our sample perfume sets: Set of two 1 ml vials and set of four 1ml vials.

our 2 ml shorties


Set of two 1 ml vials


set of four 1ml vials


Lounge will be available in 4ml glass bottles shortly once the label design is complete. The reason I didn't wait was because my customers (YOU) were chomping at the bit so I give you a taste while you wait.

October Scent Reveal

If you aren't aware of the Scrub Of The Month (SOTM) subscription, I'll briefly describe it, but go here if you want more fun details. We've designed 12 unique, limited edition Crush On You scrubs (our most popular non-soap product) in limited edition packaging that we're selling to our customers on a subscription only-basis. We are releasing the scents one at a time, each one only being announced once the previous month's scrub has shipped.

Because we just started and our September shipping date was the 15th of September, we have our new scent reveal. The Scrub Of The Month October scent is

BLAZE
pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, amber, black pepper


I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
September's scent was Caramel Apple and my teeth hurt just making it.

You may join the subscription at any time!

Lounge Is Coming


Lounge is a new sensational perfume oil that I've formulated. I created it for men and women specifically because I believe there just isn't enough offered at Product Body that appeals to men. Lounge smells like a warm and comforting combination of real, worn in leather, amber, sandalwood and black vetiver. When I smell it on my skin and close my eyes, I feel like I'm in a warmly lit lounge with large leather chairs, antique furniture, giant crystal chandeliers, paintings, candles and creaky wood floors.

The perfume oil will only be available first in our 1 ml and 2 ml glass vials in our Etsy shop as sort of our "soft opening" until we will have it available on our Product Body website and Etsy shop in our 4 ml size with a fully designed label shortly after that.

Stay tuned... next weekend, Lounge arrives.

Update: due to sickness, Lounge will be delayed in its appearance until next weekend. Our apologies.

New Perfume Oil Bottles



For now, we are just trying these awesome new perfume bottles out with our new fragrance, Poison Apple. (Update: After many email pleas, we have decided to offer these in all of the scents we offer... See? We do listen!!) They are adorable standing short at 2 ml, twice the size of our mini vials. They are different because they have a phenolic screw-on top, they don't leak and they are way better than the tiny vials. Why? ... you ask? Because, I don't know about you, but every time I try to open one of those vials, I feel like the whole thing might separate and fly out of my hand. Could be I am just a clutz. I've been known to walk into street signs and the occasional wall. That aside, because that is really not the point here, the glass vials have those flexible stoppers and those get me in trouble. It's like they don't like me.

These shortie bottles are now available on Etsy (we like to start there), we are selling 2 ml glass jars of Poison Apple perfume oil in my etsy shop for only $5. If people show interest, we'll start to sell other perfumes in these bottles. (now we do in the etsy shop)


ps: The Poison Apple fragrance does not last all day. But it is heaven and totally worth five bucks to wear it. It will make you want to wear black and paint your nails dark red.

See how cute?

VEGAN, and cruelty free of course!

Laundry Day Treasury



Sweet Melly Jane created this Etsy Treasury and included my Sexy Laundry Day Green Lovelies soap. How nice. Mellow visions for laundry days, yes?

Also, I recreated the sample labels due to the time consuming mess I created for myself, and I quite like the new design way better. Hope you do, too.



That's it for right now. The scrub-of-the-month-club information is around the bend so stay tuned scrub addicts!!

;)

The Scrub-Of-The-Month Club

I am getting so excited about The Scrub-Of-The-Month Club! I have been spending every waking hour planning out scents for the upcoming year.

We have decided to offer limited edition scents available ONLY to Scrub-Of-The-Month Club (SOTMC) members. Each scent will be a proprietary blend of fragrance and essential oils that will be hand blended and created by me. No one else will have these fragrances, so these will be one of a kind signature Crush On You scrubs. We might even surprise you with a new look of the jar....

The details of the pricing and blocks of months have not been established just yet. SOTMC will be available mid August :) Keep your pants on!

I am so excited...

New Perfume Oil Sampler Set

We recently launched our perfume oils which our customers are raving about and samples are flying out of the door. We thought it would be nice to offer a little gift set with all of the perfume oils all snug in a chocolate colored jewelry box tied with a pretty ribbon to make it even easier to smell them all, either for yourself or for a friend.




We include all four great scents, including:

MAZU SCENT (pronounce Mat-zoo): Coconut milk, lemongrass, blackened vanilla, crushed Indonesian lime leaves, smoky clove, a whisper of jasmine and a tiny hint of dark musk.

RUBY ROCK STAR SCENT: Sun-ripened, freshly picked, ruby red grapefruits hand squeezed over rock candy clinking in a crystal goblet garnished with one tiny baby black orchid.

SEXY LAUNDRY DAY SCENT: A fresh, vibrant, yet seductive scent made from a blend of ylang ylang, rosewood, musk, mimosa, and hints of baby rose and jasmine, softened with notes reminiscent of ocean breezes and clean linen.

INIQUITY SCENT: Deep chocolate, smoky sandalwood, with a whisper of crushed almonds. Dark, mysterious....


Each glass vial carries 1 ml of perfume oil.


We are so happy with our perfume oils and we hope you are too. I ask that you send us your feedback because we love to hear your experience. Positive or negative. It helps us serve you better!

Email me directly: jo at productbody dot com

xoxo

Smelly good!!
