Understanding Body Butters

Our customers love our handmade, small-batch body butters and so do we! Why would someone use a body butter instead of a lotion you may ask? Most importantly, in our opinion, a body butter can be made with 100% natural ingredients and will provide skin penetrating, lasting moisture. Let’s discuss what goes into our body butters that makes them so great for your skin... Shea and Mango Butters Shea butter is extracted from the nut of the African shea tree and mango butter is expressed from the kernel of the mango fruit. We love to add these to our body butters because they are so rich in vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and fatty acids. These components rejuvenate and hydrate the skin and are especially beneficial for those who suffer...

Why Choose Unscented Natural Soap!

When we get feedback from people who love and use our products, we always hear similar stories...they used to buy large commercial brand soaps/body washes until one day they began to experience extremely dry, irritated skin. For many people, the adverse reactions didn't stop there - they found that they would also experience migraine-like symptoms because of the very strong and cheap fragrance oils that were used in these products. Our bodies change as we age, so what we loved and tolerated in our youth may not work for us today! Luckily, we have products at Artliss that are natural and unscented. The Problem With Commercial Soaps We touched on this briefly in a previous blog titled "Can Your Skin Tell The Difference When...

How Are Essential Oils Derived?

  When shopping for natural products that contain essential oils, you may have wondered from time to time how essential oils are derived and why prices can vary so much. There are a few different methods to extract essential oils, and which method is used can have an impact. Prices of different essential oils, and sometimes the price for the same essential oil sold by different companies, can vary greatly. As a maker of body care products that contain many different essential oils, we thought we would give our customers some in-depth information about how essential oils are produced. Essential Oils and Their Pricing If you have ever shopped for essential oils yourself, you may have noticed that the price for one essential...

Why Artliss® Lip Butter Is Better Than Chapstick

We hear from customers all the time that they are concerned with making sure their body products are as natural as they can be....but we are asked an astonishingly low number of questions about the importance of using natural lip balm. This is odd to us because it is probably the one body product that can be the most easily ingested. We would think people would be most cautious about using lip balms that are not all natural considering how many times a day most people apply their lip balm. Additionally, our lips are one of our most sensitive parts of our body as the skin on them is so thin and very susceptible to being harmed by the environment Think about...
