What's Inside
I started WWW-Apothecary using whatever ingredients we had in the kitchen and created from my dining room table.
When it comes to whats inside, I keep it really simple. The point is luxury feel, luxury experience without questionable ingredients.
Bath Bombs:
Baking soda, corn starch, & citric acid are the basic ingredients for almost every single bath bomb on the planet. There are some alternatives however, for the hold & the fizz everyone loves, those are at the base.
I then add a blend of Argan, jojoba and avocado oil to my base to soften the water as well as the skin. I find them to be hydrating without being too heavy.
I use a water soluble emulsifier to beautifully blend the oils into the bathwater so they don't just pool at the top. Depending on the bomb recipe, I add Epsom salts, kaolin clay, mushroom powers or cream of tartar to my bases.
And as for fragrance, I use my own blend of essential oils, fresh or dried herbs, infusions I made myself & other natural ingredients found in your kitchen to give each bath bomb, shower bomb, scrub & body butter a story & a purpose. I will steep & soak, brew & whip my own blends together.
Body Scrubs:
The body scrubs are made with organic white sugars, organic brown sugars, my blend of avocado oil, coconut oil & argan oil along with the individual fragrance blend of essential oils. Depending on the particular scrub, I use other ingredients such as coffee flour, tapioca flour, rice flour, sea salts and fresh herbs.
WWW-Apothecary started with a body scrub so they are a very special product.
Body Butters:
The body butters are whipped together to provide a super soft yet non-greasy feel to the skin.
cocoa butter, shea butter, coconut oil, avocado oil, argan oil, sweet almond oil, organic aloe vera, marigold flower extract, chamomile flower extract, cucumber extract, lavender extract, rice bran extract & rosemary extract are all used to create this decadent touch and feel. Using a sprinkle of mica powder for color depending on the body butter, I fold in each body butter's individual fragrance blend of essential oils or infusions to create the scent.
Bath Soaks:
Bath soaks are a jar of deliciously fragranced Epsom salt & magnesium soaked salts, kaolin clay, jojoba oil and coconut oil.
Bathing Dusts:
Bathing dusts are my personal invention! It was during some experimenting that I came up with this concoction. Bath bomb powder, magnesium soaked bath salts to help relieve sore muscles & bring your body into deep relaxation. I add the individual fragrance blend I come up with for each product & story and add either herbs, crystals or liquid gold or all three!
Sprays:
The essential oils are blended in distilled water and a water soluble binder. Simple, effective, natural, fragrant & lovely. Alcohol free, gentle and memorable.
Perfume Oils:
avocado oil, coconut oil, argan oil & sweet almond oil mixed together with the individual fragrance blend to create the signature scent.
Shower Bombs:
Not in the mood for a bath? No problem. Shower bombs are shower steamers. I make them the same way as I do the bath bombs however the concentration of essential oils is double the concentration in a bath bomb. They are perfectly made for the shower! Place them on the floor of your shower, opposite your shower head and let it fizz. Breathing in and benefiting from the oils, herbs and botanicals without having to soak in the tub. Good for 2-3 showers
Body Washes & Liquid Bubbles:
aloe vera, witch hazel, whole milk powder, a coconut and fruit sugar derived surfactant, chamomile extract & the individual fragrance blends, sweet almond oil & a bit of mica powder.
Colorants & Shimmer:
I use vegan, cruelty free, environmentally friendly mica powders & shimmers. Good for our skin, the planet & beings & good for our drains!
Because I do not use any added preservatives. Please keep your products in a cool dark place to ensure you are getting the best out of your products.
