Massage Oil - Does It Get Any Better?

Okay, let's talk about massage oil. What a grand creation! You mix oils together, add a little scent and, voila, a beautiful thing! What says love more than than a massage? Not to mention the health benefits of the oils, themselves, and the relaxation. Our formula does not leave a grease slick behind - the oil has great glide and is easily absorbed into the skin, making it supple and soft. We use premium sweet almond oil, coconut oil and rice bran oil, among others.

Some of our customers keep a bottle near the kitchen sink, and use just a little bit on their hands after washing dishes. A great idea. Wish we'd thought of it.

This oil is available in many scents, including Lavender Mint, Simply Lavender, Rosemary Mint and Eucalyptus. Check out our Etsy shop - tuckerhilltx.etsy.com.

Sugar Scrubs - How Sweet! Naturally!

Hi! Welcome to our blog. Let me tell you about sugar scrubs. Yes, they are sweet, but not to eat! They exfoliate your skin and moisturize at the same time, when you bathe or shower. We make sugar scrubs instead of salt scrubs because salt can irritate the skin and any nicks or scrapes you may have. We formulate our scrubs with natural products for people with dry skin who want moisturizing as well as people with normal skin who just want to exfoliate. Exfoliation removes the top layer of skin cells, renewing the skin beneath, making it much softer. Your skin will thank you! Instead of scoopable, messy scrubs, we make these scrubs in the form of cubes or balls. That makes these scrubs very portable - you can take them with you on a trip with no fear of a leaky mess. These scrubs contain soap and can be used in place of gardener's or mechanic's soap. We offer these scrubs in many scents, including mandarin orange, hazelnut coffee, sugar crush (like pink sugar), tahitian grapefruit, fuzzy peach, and more. We offer Sugar Scrub Cubes and our so cute SugarDust Sugar Scrub. Both types are pictured below. Please visit our etsy shop at tuckerhilltx.etsy.com.
