I’m really good at looking at someone and guessing which scent they like best. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been on this earth, if you are youthful at heart, you probably like tangerine.

That’s why, when I was looking for a new scent for my botanical face butter, I chose tangerine.

I worked for years to make the perfect face butter. My initial goal, however, was to make the best herbal face cream. After reading all the books, watching the videos, going to herb conferences, and getting through emulsification chemistry; I could see that all that work and the preservatives and emulsifiers (even if they are all natural) were there to sell people 60-70% water. Even the all natural preservatives like radish ferment burned the other testers and me under our eyes. The all natural preservatives just didn’t work for everyone either! It got me wondering what our ancestors did.

So a giant 3 ring binder of notes and years of sweat and tears later, this facial butter is my answer to facial bliss. It’s as close as I can imagine to what our ancestors would use. Herbal infused oils blended with butters! That’s it.

If you’ve only ever used face or body cream/ lotion before, you are used to squirting a lot into your hands and applying. With no water in the face butter and only the core, pure ingredients in each glass tub; you only use the smallest amount.

A lot of people that use it only on their face have told me it takes them a year to use the entire 1 oz tub. I however am a slatherer love it on the back of my hands, down my neck, on my elbows, and even on the tips of my hair!

There are two “melts” in this butter. The first when the shea warms to your body and you’ll feel it get a little thinner. Then the second as the sunflower seed lecithin melts. As it warms, it gets thinner and thinner going further and further. To activate it into a super moisturizer, splash on a little water for the lecithin to pull under your skin.

The botanicals in the facial bliss are grown right here on our farm. Rose hips, wild carrot seed, and coriander.

Organic Rose Hips promote collagen production and are rich in vitamin C, carotenoids, other vitamins & minerals and Omega 6. Historically used to even out skin tone.

Organic Queen Anne’s lace seed has a rejuvenating effect on the skin, softens and assists with cell growth. It has been traditionally used to increase elasticity, reduce wrinkles and liver spots, and to fight skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, sores and boils.

Organic Coriander (when available) contains antioxidants, complexion-friendly minerals and skin boosting vitamin C. It's a potent anti-bacterial, antiseptic, antifungal, disinfectant, anti-inflammatory and is soothing to the skin. It has been traditionally used for eczema, itchy skin, rashes and inflammation. The anti-bacterial properties of coriander seeds work as an effective home remedy for pimples, acne and blackheads.
