I'm really loving the Calendula soap that I made recently. I'm working on a cream as well, experimenting on myself of course lol. Seriously though, I have some of the most sensitive skin on the planet apparently. Even many natural scents, herbs, and oils do not work with my skin, and I also wanted to come up with something gentle enough even for children and pets. I tested it on the pugs, and their coats came out so so nice!
Once I'm sure that I'm totally happy with it, I will offer the soap and cream on Etsy mostly likely.
She's butter...where the heck have you been all my life?!
I may offer a few other things such as a chapstick balm/stick I'm working on for a quick, mess-free and portable way to apply some peppermint based balm for headaches and nausea, as well as a healing salve.
I will not offer anything to others that I haven't used successfully on myself, my pets, and my family!
I will be planting my own calendula and a few other new things next year for my soaps and creams. I've grown my lemon balm and peppermint as well as a few others for several years now.
We need to return to the old ways and skills that have been all but lost, especially in times like we're living in these days.
