Skin MD Naturals Lotion Review

Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion is made with some really nice natural ingredients like Aloe and Arnica. It is Vegan, fragrance and color free. I started my week long test by discontinuing all usage of my emu oil products. The first thing I noticed about Skin MD Natural is its rapid absorption rate, it sinks right into the skin and you only need to use a little. It leaves no greasy, oily, or waxy feel either. I like this! I have severely dry, problem skin and before I started using emu oil products had to file my hands every day with a fine callous remover several times a day to remove the coarse sharp alligator skin I develop that tears nylons. I had got to the point where I needed only file my hands once or twice a week. Unfortunately, I had to end testing of this product after Day Four. My skin was so dry it hurt, and ragged due to rough, dry skin. While using Skin MD I had to once again file my hands every day several times a day due to rough, dry skin. I also had to reapply Skin MD Natural about every 2 hours. While Skin MD Natural is a nice lotion, it did not work well for severely dry, problem skin like mine. It would be satisfactory for lightly to moderately dry skin and for those wanting a vegan lotion with many natural ingredients that absorbs quick and leaves no residue on the skin.

New Soapie Direction: Vegan

I have noted some people are asking about my emu oil and indicating they would prefer not to have it in the soap and soy tarts. I have been wanting to offer a Vegan line but to be perfectly honest, emu oil is spectacular snd provides benefits that really can't be matched. There is no comparison. But last week I took a custom order for 2 pounds of Vegan hand milled soap and after quite a bit of research I am taking out the emu oil and adding evening primrose oil and mango butter to it. I cannot add much evening primrose oil to the soap so we will see what the customer thinks of it after she uses it. When I pour and cut up this batch of Mamere's Vegan Punkin' Pie Soap I will post a picture of it here. I will make some soy lotion tarts with almond oil which is nothing more than just a vegetable oil with no special properties and a touch of evening primrose oil and see how they test out. The tarts with emu oil will be a hard act to follow, feedback is awesome for them, they are simply better than any lotion tried and the skin moisturizing lasts for hours, far better than the best lotion.

Handmilled Peppermint Cream Soap with Emu Oil

This is my first attempt at swirling rebatch, as you can see, I was not real successful, more marbled and layered but still very pretty. These are 1" bars weighing 4.5 ounces and they sell for $5.50 each. find them in 2 weeks after they have cured some at my Etsy Shop I had a lot of fun making them!

Premiering Handmilled Emu Soaps

I am switching to handmilled (rebatched) cold process goatmilk and all vegetable oil soaps with added emu oil to further enrich the soap and add emu oil's famous healing powers to this luxurious and affordable soap with excellent lathering and moisturizing qualities. Right now I have 3.5 oz bars of Aussie Vanilla Dreams Goatmilk Emu soap and Aussie Pumpkin Patch Goatmilk Emu soap 4 oz bars all made in my soap goddess mold. Each of these bars are $1 an ounce plus $1 each to cover the extra labor involved in the handmilling process and the cost of the emu oil.
