We are a peanut free house, so we substitute with other nut butters.  Almond butter is one of our favorites.  This one is 100% natural with roasted almonds, honey, coconut oil, and just a pinch of salt, making a creamy, semi-sweet, and completely delicious spread.

We now have our awesome honey roasted almond butter with CINNAMON!  Yum!

Sunscreen ingredients: Coconut oil, avocado oil, beeswax, shea butter, zinc oxide, vitamin E, Raspberry Oil, Carrot Seed Oil

This comes in a 2.5 oz twist tube or a 1 oz push up.

This (almost) all natural and non-toxic cream is perfect for sore baby bottoms.  The natural butters, oils, and beeswax will hold moisture, while the (almost all natural) zinc oxide and aloe vera treat the itching and irritation common to diaper rash.  100% natural essential oils have anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties that will help heal that little butt quickly.

This product comes in a 2 or 4 oz, low profile jar that makes it easy to use.  As with all of our products, there are no preservatives, so we will make this product to order.  

Did you know that bee pollen contains almost all of the nutrients required by the human body to thrive? That’s why the German Federal Board of Health has officially recognized it as a medicine.

Bee pollen is wonderful for natural allergy relief and is responsible for the many health benefits of raw honey. It’s rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, lipids and fatty acids, enzymes, carotenoids and bioflavonoids — making it an antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral agent that strengthens the capillaries, reduces inflammation, stimulates the immune system and lowers cholesterol levels naturally.

In fact, bee pollen contains more protein than any animal source and more amino acids than equal weight of eggs or beef … and those are just some of the top bee pollen benefits.

Our all natural and domestic honey bee pollen granules have no additives of any kind and is sourced from the great lakes region.

That's right you magnificent hairy bastards. We now have a line of manly-man beard balms made with all natural ingredients to tame and soften those burly whiskers while moisturizing your skin underneath!  Our beard balms have gone through rigorous testing with a panel of esteemed beardos from around the country.  Each tester will forever be remembered, as they will have a special formula designed with them in mind!

Pick up a sampler pack of all 5 formulas!!

We have five formulas:

Brewmaster's Balm - This balm is made for those who need extra help to tame those wild whiskers and prefers the richness and full scent of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Tea Tree, and Vetiver.  

Tester:  Jimmy, the brewmaster extraordinaire, who can often be found surfing the mid-Atlantic waves when he is not making magic with a tub of hops!

Leon's Burly Balm - This was a favorite amongst the test crew, with a smooth consistency and light woodsy fragrance of Tea Tree, Patchouli, and Cedarwood.  This one will tame the beardruff with no problem.

Tester:  Leon, who spent decades packing parachutes for Special Forces before embarking on a second career of growing an epic beard that would make Chewbacca blush. 

Full Flannel Jacket - The same moisturizing and conditioning formula as Leon's Burly Balm, but with a milder and crisper scent that is less "hipster" and more "ahh, that's nice" with Cedarwood, Tea Tree, and Pine Needle.

Tester:  Graham, a beer connoisseur and apt brewer with a nose like a bloodhound, who cares little for the mainstream hipster scents. 

#vintageHipster - Extra moisturizing with a combination of Hemp and Argon oils to loosen the balm and add a touch of creaminess.  Scented with an old school blend of Patchouli, Ylang Ylang, Tea Tree, and Sweet Orange.

Tester: Jonny, of clan Illuminati, was sporting kilts at RenFests and liberating the oppressed before the modern generation of beardos could even spell patchouli. 

Talented Mr. Crowley - A nice, smooth, and pliable balm that melts right into your facemat.  "Give me something that smells like the Great Northwest," he said.  Well, here you have it with a blend of Clove, Bergamot, Ylang Ylang, and Pine Needle.  

Tester:  Rob - Esquire, liberator of the oppressed, smelter of ore, distiller of mead, and litigator of commerce - not someone to take lightly in a battle of wit or test of skill.

Sno Bros Special  - Specially formulated for a group of former Green Berets who make the pilgrimage to Southern Bavaria each year to ski, drink, and tell many lies.  Formulated with cedarwood, tea tree, fir balsam, and black pepper oils, these boys' are going to be pulling the snow bunnies off the slopes with ease (relative to their creaking bones of course).  

For every tin of Sno Bros Special, we donate a portion to the Green Beret Foundation.

The perfect addition to your lips!  Our long lasting and non greasy formula moisturizes and protects.  Our "healing balm" contains propolis, which has incredible healing properties, but you won't even know it's in there with the refreshing peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils.  You will be amazed at how quickly your chapped or irritated lips heal.  I even put this on small cuts and scrapes to help them heal quicker.

All of our lip balms are 100% NUT FREE based on feedback from our customers.  We now use avocado oil as the base oil for our formula. Besides being a great cooking oil with a super high smoke point, check out these exceptional properties...

"Avocado oil is a rich and extremely penetrating oil abundant in Vitamins A, B1, B2, D, and E, lecithin, and potassium, as well as proteins, beta-carotene, and more than 20% essential fatty acids. It is also high in Sterolins, which are reputed to reduce age spots, help heal sun damage, and scars. It is considered to be an extremely effective moisturizing and nourishing oil that assists in the rejuvenation and regeneration of the skin.

One study found that avocado oil significantly increases the amount of collagen in the skin. Furthermore, it is easily absorbed into deep tissue and helps to relieve the dryness and itching of psoriasis and eczema. This oil is highly recommended to those with sensitive skin, problem skin, and other irritations."

This all natural nursing cream soothes sore, chapped nipples from breastfeeding.  The oils soothe dry skin, while the herbs and lavender essential oil reduce skin inflammation and promote healing.  All ingredients are safe for ingestion, so it does not need to be washed off prior to breastfeeding. This product comes in a 2 oz jar that makes it easy to use and carry with you.  As with all of our products, there are no preservatives, so we will make this product to order.  

This Bug Balm is 100% natural and it actually works!  Just say no to DEET and other nasty chemicals. Who wants to put that stuff on or even worse, on a little one?  Our mixture of beeswax, mango, coconut, and shea butters, Jojoba, and vitamin E will keep your skin silky smooth, while the mixture of essential oils keeps the bugs away.  As loyal "Off" users, we were skeptical at first, but sure enough, the Mrs. can finally sit on the porch without a swarm of mosquitos attacking her legs! 

This comes packaged in a 2.5 oz twist up deodorant-type tube or a 1 oz push-up perfect to drop in a back pack, tackle-box, or just to have handy by the back porch!  

Zika Virus Update – I have been using our bug balm, and I have been putting it on my family since we first started making it.  No one in my family has contracted the Zika virus, West Nile virus, African Sleeping Sickness, or Malaria.  Coincidence? Perhaps; but, I am willing to put my trust in our products! Spring is here, the mosquitos will be out soon...just sayin. 

Ingredients:  

beeswax, mango butter, coconut oil, shea butter, jojoba oil, vitamin E, and a blend of Citronella, Lavender, Geranium, Tea Tree, Lemongrass, Peppermint, and Eucalyptus Essential Oils

All-natural burn cream combines the power of Aloe with lavender and sea buckthorn berry oil.  Aloe contains active compounds that may reduce pain and inflammation and stimulate skin growth and repair. It is also an effective moisturizing agent. For this reason, aloe has gained tremendous popularity for burn relief.   Sea Buckthorn is well known for tissue regeneration which is of particular interest because of the mounting research showing its efficacy. Tissue regeneration is a critical concern for those recovering from severe burns.  

Our burn cream is made from steeping calendula blossoms, plantain leaf, and lavender in olive oil for 6 weeks, then using that oil as a base for the cream.  Other ingredients include super-moisturizers Shea and Mango Butters, and pure beeswax.  

Comes in a 2 oz jar. 

Around here, we love cashews.  We also love honey, so what better butter could there be than cashews and honey?  As a peanut free home, we love tree nut butters, and when we add a dash of our wildflower honey, the magic happens!  

Try this all natural, paleo approved, gluten-free alternative to peanut butter.  It's thick and rich and sweet and creamy.  You are gonna love it!

After steeping Calendula blossoms, plantain leaf, and St. John's Wort in olive oil for several weeks and mixing in beeswax and skin-healing essential oils, we are thrilled to offer our cracked skin balm.  We have tested this product on old-school, cracked and leathery soldier's feet, and can attest that our all natural formula works well.  What does this combination of herbs offer?  Calendula blossoms are well known for their healing abilities, and plantain leaf is believed to reduce irritation.  St. John's Wort can speed the healing process of burns, bruises, and scrapes by stimulating circulation of oxygenated blood to those skin cells so that repairs can begin.

Our Cracked Skin Balm comes in a 2 oz. twist up deodorant tube for clean and easy application.   We recommend application at least twice per day, particularly after bathing.  For cracked hands, apply at night then wear a non-permeable (latex, nitrile, etc) glove - this really seems to work well!

Ingredients:  Olive oil (steeped in Calendula, Plantain, and St John's Wort), Beeswax, Mango Butter, Vitamin E, Propolis, and a blend of Pine Needle, German Chamomile, Lavender, Geranium, and Tea Tree Essential Oils.

Creamed honey is raw honey that is forced to crystallize with super tiny crystals. This produces a thick and creamy texture in the honey, making it spreadable with the consistency of smooth peanut butter.  It's perfect for toast, biscuits, or any other use for a honey spread!  Also, since it is thick, it doesn't spill, making a perfect compliment for tables with clumsy children.  

Our creamed honey comes in our awesome Wildflower flavor and in our exceptionally popular Cinnamon Infused Wildflower honey.  Whether you are keeping this for yourself or giving as a gift, this is surely a product you will want more of!

***NEW AND IMPROVED!!

We have received a lot of feedback on our deodorant.  Most of your suggestions have to do with the "earthy" scent, which to some of you (including my dear bride), can sort of smell like a bit B.O. itself.  Fear not!!  We have a new formula with improved "glide" and a much more feminine floral scent.  Still 100% natural, we added a bit more here and a bit less there, and swapped the earthy essential oils for more floral ones.  We hope you love the new product!

Our all-natural deodorant actually works.  It has just the right consistency, the right glide, and the right mix of ingredients to tame the toughest B.O.  This deodorant is aluminum, paraben, AND baking soda free, making it great for those with sensitive skin.  What makes ours work is the combination of awesome ingredients such as activated charcoal, diatomaceous earth (diatoms), magnesium chloride (mineral salts), and anti-microbial essential oils.  

After over a year of formulas, testing, rebatching, throwing away, more formulas, more testing, and more trials.....we finally have a product that we are proud of.  This is the 9th formula we tested and easily the 12th or 13th that we put together.  This one works!

Ingredients:  Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Mango Butter, Cocoa Butter, Sunflower Oil, Witch Hazel, Arrowroot Powder, Mineral Salt (Magnesium Chloride), Diatomaceous Earth (Diatoms), Activated Charcoal, and a blend of Bergamot, Tea Tree, Clove, and Basil Essential Oils**

** the new formula has a blend of Rose, Honeysuckle, Jasmine, and Tea Tree essential oils. 

This product is NOT an antiperspirant

This product may cause some discoloration on clothing.  For best results, wait several minutes after applying before dressing. 

The tastiest cold syrup you will take all year!

Anyone who has sipped a cup of tea with honey for a sore throat knows just how soothing it can be!  Add the immune boosting properties of echinacea, the anti-oxidant properties of elderberry, and the time-proven powerhouses,  Ceylon cinnamon, and ginger, and you are ready for cold and flu season. 

Elderberry is used for its antioxidant activity, to lower cholesterol, to improve vision, to boost the immune system, to improve heart health and for coughs, colds, flu, bacterial and viral infections and tonsillitis. Bioflavonoids and other proteins in the juice destroy the ability of cold and flu viruses to infect a cell.  Ginger has been used for centuries to relieve a sore throat and loosen up congestion, and the warming Ceylon cinnamon stimulates circulation and increases the elimination of toxins. Echinacea contains active substances that boost immune function, relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and have antiviral and antioxidant effects. Of course, our Raw Wildflower Honey mixed in calms inflamed membranes and eases a cough. 

Each bottle contains 4 oz. of our miraculous mixture.

NEW AND IMPROVED FORMULA - Several of our customers let us know that our hand and body cream was very thick.  While all said it rubbed in very nicely, it was a bit odd to have such a thick paste.  We have added just a dash of avocado oil to the formula to loosen it up just enough to make it silky and luxurious.  Thank you for your continued feedback! 

This all natural hand and body cream is sure to please!  Of course, we add beeswax to the mix to give that extra bit of awesome to this silky smooth but non-greasy cream.  Our formula is 100% natural, so we make it in small batches.  

All varieties come in 2 oz containers

Baker Street is a nod to a favorite literary character, not the chart-topping late 70s snoozer by Gerry Rafferty.  Where Old Havana elicits thoughts of a beachfront sojourn with a fine tumbler of Cruzan, Baker Street transports you to an old London flat filled with books and at least one telescope. The rich aroma of pipe tobacco accentuates the very nicely lathering addition to your soap collection. 

When we made Bar Harbor, we went through our normal routine of "what should we call it?" This soap smells divine and it is colored with spirulina powder...that's right...seaweed. So we thought of the sea, and we looked at the color and thought...Maine! So step up and add some chlorophyll to your hygiene routine!

California Dreamin' is a single color of dark antique pink. It has a very unique fragrance that is sure to please. We added calendula blossoms into this soap. Calendula's antibacterial and immunostimulant properties of the plant make it extremely useful in treating slow-healing cuts and cuts in people who have compromised immune systems. The herb stimulates the production of collagen at wound sites and minimizes scarring.

Step into the sumptuous world of raspberry gumdrops, fluffy clouds of vanilla cotton candy, and rainbow skittles...that is about how awesome candyland is.  It's as fun to look at as it is to lather up.  Jump in with no guilt and never look back. 

Our handcrafted soap is made from all-natural saponified (word of the day) oils, beeswax, natural colorants (at least I think they are natural) and fragrance.  They have a PH of 7.8 to 8 so are very mild on the skin.  All of our soaps are chock full of imperfections, which we like to call "unintentional rustic," because we are just figuring out the soaping world.  All of our soaps lather very nicely due to the castor and olive oils inside.

Colorado Trail subtly calls out the Bohemian buried deep inside us all.  The beautiful colors remind me of Red Rock and the diverse geological nature along the Colorado Trail.  The fragrance is a soft patchouli, and we have added finely chopped calendula blossoms to promote skin health.

Fresh Montana reminds me of good ole Big Sky country and fresh air.  I close my eyes and imagine sliding into some freshly pressed sheets on a summer day.  Elsa thinks it smells like an indescribable "citrusy - spicy but very fresh" smell. Whatever it smells like, it's pretty darn good.

This is about 100 times better than honey and oat Cheerios.  It may smell good enough to eat...once...but you would be wasting the goodness in your mouth.  If October had a smell, this may be it.  Not spicy, not sweet, but pure pleasant.  

No added colors or fragrance in this one!  It's well....just soap!  You get the same silky feel, the same soft and moisturized skin, and the same "feel great" glow...just no fragrance.  

Marrakesh is just a dream. This soap is 40% olive oil and contains Moroccan Rhassoul Clay and Tussah Silk just to make this something close to magical. The Moroccan Clay is mined in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and contains naturally high levels of skin-loving, beneficial minerals and can improve skin tone, texture, elasticity, and clarity while eliminating dryness and flakiness. The silk makes the lather smooth and creamy. This is the perfect soap for soft and dry skin. You are really gonna love this.

Old Havana smells just like a fresh Cuban cheroot. We had these curing in a storage room for 6 weeks and it smelled just like walking into a humidor.  While not a fan of cigars, I do love the smell of fresh tobacco, and this one nails it! Colored with natural black walnut, this soap exfoliates as well as cleans. Win-Win!

Pacific Rim is one of my favorite soaps only because it looks and smells totally awesome. This one has the benefit of activated charcoal to really treat your skin with some solid detox. In fact, if you have a sassy little brat, you can wash his/her mouth out with this soap and it will absorb any poison they might have ingested too! What kind of badass soap is that!?! 

Relaxez vous et profitez mon cheri....Relax and enjoy!  This is one of our freshest and cleanest smelling soaps.  It's pretty much the same as taking in a day at the spa somewhere off the Champs-Élysées, sipping champagne, and being French...just without being French.  A nice soak with this one though and you can be whatever you want!

Pineland is a throwback to "the land of the longleaf pine....a summer land where the sun doth shine."  All Green Berets have been there, and this soap is about that heritage.  Pineland has the fresh and fragrant scent of a pine forest and the exfoliating properties of fine pumice.  Viva la Pineland!
