Spring 2010 Recipes

Featured Recipes
 
One of our greatest requests is for recipes.  We have a new Spring 2010 Recipe Package Available that shares a wide range of recipes with you.
 
When we are putting together a recipe package we try to give a broad representation of products.
 
In this recipe package you will find skin moisturizing recipes including an anti-wrinkle cream using Squalane and natural AHA from our Multi-fruit BSC extract blend, an eye cream, an MSM hand & body lotion and a Shea Butter foot lotion. 
 
We have also included some Mineral Make-up and cosmetic recipes, including a silky dusting powder using Tapioca Starch, Natrasorb and Silk Peptide Powder, an oil free liquid foundation, and a detoxifying mineral mask using natural clays and extracts.
 
A big part of any skin care regime is cleansing.  In this recipe package you will find an energizing daily shampoo recipe using our Vital Hair & Scalp extract complex, a detoxifying creme cleanser and conditioning shampoo bar to name but a few.
 
As a bonus you will also find recipes for a moisture rich lip balm as well as a peppermint mineral foot soak and a soothing aftershave balm.
 
We hope that you enjoy all of the recipes, and don't forget it is very very easy to adjust recipes to make them unique to you.  Excepting cold process soap recipes, oils in any skin care recipes can be exchanged for any other oil, proteins can be substituted, preservatives can be changed etc....  
 
Part of the fun of making your own products is experimentation.  We encourage you to experiment and make changes so the recipes better reflect your vision of what product you want to make or market.
 
As always, please feel free to Contact Us  if you have any questions, or any problems with formulas and we will help you to the best of our abilities.
 
Greetings!

Skin Care Image
 
Spring is just over a week away and we thought it was a perfect time to focus on skin care.  As seasons change and the days get longer we spend more and more time outside and often forget to look after the largest organ in the human body - our skin.  To kick start this focus on making products that look after our skin we have created a New Spring 2010 Recipe Package that shares over a dozen popular product recipes .  The recipe package can be obtained in the Newsletter Section of our web site, and then saved to your computer or printed.  
 
We hope that you had a healthy winter season and we encourage you to explore the range of products that our new recipe package presents for you.
 
Sincerely,

We have many great ingredients and packaging options on sale right now.  A full list of
Specials can be found on our site.  Some of the featured items include some ingredients that you will find used in the recipes found in our new Spring 2010 Recipe Package
 
These include Olive Oil Squalane.  Squalane is naturally extracted from olive oil, and enhances the skins ability to naturally regenerate as it helps to nourish, hydrate and oxygenate dry or damaged skin.
 
We are also featuring our new Acai Biofunctional Botanical Liquid Extract.  Acai berries are rich in antioxidants that are beneficial to the skin, helping to combat the aging process, keeping the skin looking more firm and youthful. 
 
Some of the other ingredients that are on sale are our white and natural beeswax pastilles, carnauba wax, e-wax emulsifying wax, Vitamin E, and jojoba oil clear.  As well, we have a wide selection of floral botanicals on sale, a perfect way to jump start our way into the spring season.  Added to bath products, or packaged and put in with gift baskets, floral petals are a sure hit in any product line.
 
At Voyageur, we are known for our packaging.  The packaging that is on sale this email are our 1oz, 2oz, 4oz and 8oz bullets with disc caps, and our white 4oz Malibu Tottles. 
 
We have also recently launched many NEW Packaging Options including 1oz, 2oz, 4oz and 8oz Amber Boston Round bottles, stackable clear containers, and a full range of amber plastic jars.
Thanks for all your support!!!
Thanks again for all your support and patronage over the past winter season.  Later in March we will be launching a large selection of new products, and our next email will have a focus on natural cleaning, and the ingredients that can replace the chemical based commercial cleansers that too often are found in our cupboards.
 
Many of the new ingredients and packaging that we are getting ready to introduce this month are as a direct result of customer requests and suggestions.  So if you have an ingredient, a style of packaging, or a product that you think we should be carrying then please let us know.
 
Thanks again,
