We are excited about our new products!! 

 

Be sure to check out our 4 and 8 oz Cobalt Blue PET Jars with Gloss Silver Caps: we think they are fabulous! 

 

We are also introducing a full range of shrink bands and seals to fit all of our aluminum tins, cosmetic jars, and lip balm packaging.  Shrink bands provide safety, but we are also carrying the wider bands which can be used to protect labels on cosmetic jars.

 

To compliment our aluminum pumps and caps, we have now added  aluminum misters to the aluminum bottle family.

 

Finally, to our increasing list of organic ingredients, we are pleased to offer Organic Cocoa Butter and Organic Aloe Vera Juice.

We wish to extend a big thank you to a few of our most recent sponsors in the Operation Santa Clause drive: thanks to Yahk Soap Company, and Barb Van Ee.  Your generosity is most appreciated and we are proud to match your contributions bar for bar!! 

 

Remember, there's still time to donate, and all contributions will be graciously acknowledged in subsequent emailers.  We thank you; we couldn't do it without your help!!

 

Natural Melt and Pour Soap Base 

Want to try your hand at fabulous, fun and funky soaps?  Voyageur's Natural Melt and Pour Soap Base may be the perfect solution! Made from vegetable oils and moisturizing glycerin, the Melt and Pour Soap sold by Voyageur is 100% Natural and available in several fantastic varieties.  An economical, kid friendly project, Melt and Pour creations are as quick as they are versatile.

 

For a fun teacher "thank you," consider having your child print or type a personalized message that will fit your pre-selected mold.  Next, laminate or cover both sides of the slip of paper with clear packing tape trimmed to size to protect that very special message.  Then, simply pour a shallow top layer of soap into your mold, drop in the message face down, and finally pour remaining melted soap to fill mold completely.  When set (approximately 1 hour), unmold, flip and VOILA -- your soap complete with a very personal, very special "thank you!"  It's just that simple!!

 

Try experimenting -- Melt and Pour Soap can be coloured, fragranced, layered or "bedazzled" with gems, charms, or even plastic toys for the younger set.  So fun!!

Bath Salts Galore 

Who doesn't appreciate a luxurious, long soak in the tub after a hard work day?  In our opinion, it's a necessary indulgence and we're pretty confidant that your favourite teacher will agree!

 

Bath salts are so versatile that we are currently offering special savings on three of our most popular varieties: Epsom, Sea Salts Fine, and Solar Salts. 

 

Therapeutic Epsom mineral salts can be used in the bath to soothe and ease those tired and sore muscles and joints at the end of the long work day.  Salts are very versatile.  They can be used in foot relaxation soaks, be added to bath bombs, or be utilized in invigorating salt body scrubs so popular in the Spa industry.

 

The more decorative Solar Salt crystals colour exceptionally well with either the Liquid Lab Colours or the Ultramarine, Chromium Green or FD&C Lake powdered colourants.  Be sure to check out our brand new Ultramarine Sampler Pack!  The possibilities are endless: consider multiple colour layers for an especially decorative presentation.

 

This is another project that is kid friendly, so be sure to check out our favourite recipe for Skin Softening Bath Salts to learn just how easy and economical this teacher gift idea really is!  For an extra special teacher "thank you," consider packaging your fragranced, coloured bath salts in our brand new 4 or 8 oz Cobalt Blue PET Jars with Silver Gloss Flat Cap.  The packaging is dynamite, sleek and very trendy modern -- use ribbon to attach a wooden salt scoop, and presto magic, your fabulous teacher thank you gift is complete and ready to give!  Your kids will be so proud that they made it themselves and their teacher is sure to appreciate such a useful, relaxation treat.
