Bulk olive oil

Take home just the amount you need of unrefined extra virgin olive oil, an ideal moisturizer in body scrubs.

Oatmeal is naturally soothing as it hydrates and softens skin. We carry organic or conventional rolled oats.

Bulk sugar and salt

Take home just enough white or brown sugar for your body scrub recipes. We also carry bulk sea salt.

Redmond Clay

Try this healing bentonite clay as an anti-aging mask to detoxify the skin (tip: it also soothes insect bites, bruises and rashes).
