Hello and welcome to IMBUE BOTANICALS blog! It's my little tiny corner of the inter webs where I will be able to unload my constant mind wanderings, ideas, dreams, products, and even bits and pieces of my home life. <-- you're excited about this. I know.
The last few years I have been reading, researching, experimenting, second guessing, and envisioning a real passion of mine. Natural homemade skin care. Ever since I can remember my skin has hated me. I've tried so many products labeled for "sensitive skin" with very little success of making my skin happy or healthy. After receiving a pile of soap making books from my grandma, I had a thought. What if I made my own skin care products? Using all natural ingredients I have had much better results in taming the beast that is my skin. I know what's going into a product I make, I know where the ingredients come from. I'm not adding any harsh chemicals or unnecessary additives, just pure lovely natural ingredients. After testing out recipes and sharing with family and friends I had an idea that has just stuck ever since. I would love to be able to offer these products to more people. That's how Imbue Botanicals came to be a dream of mine. Developing small batches of skin loving products for people who want healthier and more affordable alternatives to the big box stores "natural" or "sensitive skin" products. I plan on using as much local, fair trade, organic ingredients I can find. I am still in the testing stages, but hope someday soon it will be something I get to do everyday.
So there's that. Now, you know the backstory of my dream. Would you like to look into the future with me too? Great. I will give you some visuals. Imagine a cottage in the woods. Chickens and goats. Vegetable and herb gardens. Prairie lands and wild flowers. Wood burning stoves and vintage aprons. Soaps curing and bees buzzing. Doesn't that paint a lovely picture. Well, if not.. it does for me. And if you don't know me well enough, I am a dreamer. Just ask my family. I get out of control sometimes, like drive us all crazy out of control. BUT we're supposed to dream big right?
