Hiya and Happy Monday!
This is the last week of production and other busy work at
SweetSavours! I am happy to say that
despite a few distractions, I am on track to have things rock this weekend for
Small Business Saturday. I do want to
tell you about what's been savouring in the studio.
Last week I shared about the first lotion I made and how it
helped to heal my skin. A lot like
feeding our bodies when we get sick and eating chicken noodle soup, along with healing,
I needed my skin to be hydrated and nourished.
This is where the next set of products began to be formulated. There is one ingredient in this set, Red Tea
SkinSavours, that is an oddity.
During my recovery of the Valley Fever issue, Rooibos (Red)
tea was one thing I was encouraged by my doctor to drink. Some of the reported benefits of Red Tea are
that it is known to contain powerful antioxidants, improve blood circulation,
relieves stomach and digestive issues and improves severe skin conditions. I loved all the benefits this tea could give
me when I drank it, especially how it could help my skin. My "mad
scientist" alter ego began to think of what Red Tea could do if I put it on
my skin. Yes, I love my CoCo SkinSavours and like a mom with more than one
child, I can't say I love one product more than another, but.....................
I looked for ingredients that would nourish and hydrate my
skin. The core ingredients of Red Tea
SkinSavours are Rice Bran oil, Sunflower Seed oil, Shea butter and Cupuacu
butter. The list of benefits and
properties of these ingredients is long but those most appropriate to mention
are that they are super moisturizing, extremely nourishing, are vitamin rich,
high in all Omega vitamins, and are known to not only regenerate healthy skin
cells but also help prevent skin cell degeneration. WOW!!!
My biggest pet peeve is a greasy product. There is a misconception that with good, rich
ingredients you'll have a good greasy product.
My goal was to put this misconception to sleep and I did. The lotion and the crème I formulated are
rich but are both easily absorbed into your skin and are not slick and greasy
at all.
The Red Tea Latte crème's most unique ingredient is the Goat's
Milk powder, and what a treat it is. Did
you know that Goat's Milk is an awesome natural moisturizer? It is high in protein, contains vitamins E, B6
and B12, and works to hydrate and nourish skin.
Imagine a rich, creamy crème, with a warm amber fragrance that leaves
your skin cuddly soft. This is the savour of Red Tea Latte.
Red Tea Latte has a companion is this line of products, the
Luxuri Shea Blush lotion. Shea butter
and Sunflower Seed oil are the key ingredients that give skin super
moisturization, conditioning and smoothing.
The deep red color of the Rooibos Tea gives this Luxuri it's awesome
"blush." The savour of Shea
Blush is a delightful mixture of light white tea, soft apricot and spicy ginger,
with that warming comfort of amber. This
is a Luxuri you will savour!
The body is covered and now it's time for me to work the
savours for hands and feet. I will share
what's being done with these savours in the next blog. In the meantime, consider what you can do to
support you local communities this week.
Small Business Saturday in one day of the year where special attention
is given to the small, mom and pop shops that have been what our great country was

Savours to you,
Sherri
