Creative Inspiration- Skinfolk... Getting Creative and Inspired with Self-Care

Califia- Queen of the Californias. 
by Skinfolk

It's been a little while since I posted one of my own favorite etsy shops and my own creative inspirations.  Today, I'd like to share an etsy gem with all of you.  I love sharing :-).

Readers, meet Skinfolk, a lovely shop on Etsy.  Skinfolk is a fantastic shop that is brimming with luscious body butters, healing herbal soaks of all sorts for your body, mind and spirit, fantastic healing salves... and more!  Also meet Tisha who is the amazing owner and creative mind/healer behind Skinfolk.  Tisha has a home base in the San Diego, CA area.  She loves learning and teaching (I feel connected to her on that level also!)  In her etsy profile she states that she "feels abundantly blessed to teach about our wonderful Mother Nature".  Rock on Tisha!  She also shares that her passion in life is "increase awareness of our beautiful sameness... trees, seas, babies."  If you are in the San Diego area you can check her out locally at the Hillcrest Farmer's Market and take in her pure, organic products and holistic healing blends first hand.   

Just some of the highlights of what makes Tisha's products at Skinfolk and her methods special and extraordinary include: 

Organic, raw, fairly traded ingredients
used by Skinfolk

• creating her recipes from scratch 
• using solar infusions of virgin olive oil and *organic* herbs in EVERY creation
• including *natural* ingredients in her products including natural preservatives of vitamin e, honey, citric acid, and essential oils.
• embracing a globally ethical and sustainable business model which results in the best ingredients for her products and the best energy going into her products.   
• only uses fairly traded, organic, raw and sustainable items which she herself loving picks from reputable suppliers. 

In addition, she makes a choice to NOT do what many other companies do and this makes her products and company also stand apart.  For example:

•  She doesn't add water to her product.  
•  She doesn't add mineral oil to her product. 
•  She doesn't use hydrogenated oils. 
•  She uses NO chemical preservatives!!!
•  She never uses fragrance oils.  Only the real stuff :-)

Throughout the shop, within the description of each product, you can read customer reviews of that product, as well as Skinfolk in general.  Here are some of the things people have to say... 

  "Love how this feels, very nourishing! Thanks so much for such great products!"
