Hand Made All Natural Soap, Essential Oils and

Hand Made Natural Products
by TLC Naturally, LLC

TLC Naturally blossomed into a reality due to my ongoing search for natural and  organic ways to age nicely and gracefully and at the same time enjoy optimum health.  From that search came the wonderful world of designing hand crafted all natural soap and other personal products.  Our natural products also take advantage of the wonderful array of aromatherapy through pure essential oils.

We are located in the beautiful mid west region of the United States - specifically, the state of Missouri and we strive to provide our customers and friends with a range of quality essential oils and handcrafted natural products that not only are of the highest quality, but are reasonable in price.  Our products are not only personally tested by family, friends and neighbors, but come with a guarantee - you don't like it, we'll make it right! Needless to say our essential oils are also tested  pesticide free according to GC/MS analysis.

By sharing what we know through our ongoing recipe page for natural hand made soap-making and various creams and lotions and helping others to learn how to use fresh, high quality and organically grown hand-crafted herbs, we feel that in some small way we are contributing to help others to educate and inform themselves to improve their physical and emotional well being.  Our Resource page is an ongoing project and our goal is to offer tested and true recipes and supplies for all aspects of natural organic products.

Recipes for home made natural soap and other natural and home made products will also bring together family and friends whether near by or half way around the world so if you have a special recipe you would like to share or a link that others would enjoy and learn about the wonderful world of natural products, please drop me a note and I'll add it to our Recipe Page or our Link Page.

Quality Essential Oils - Short History

The history of essential oils is as ancient as the world itself. It was considered more valuable to ancient civilizations than gold. For thousands of years the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, priests and alchemists were using essential oils to heal the sick, lift the spirits and paint the body.  They left recipes, tinctures and salve recipes in their hieroglyphics, manuscripts and writings.  Many of these recipes can still be followed today and many have benefited from their effectiveness.

The distillation of essential oils from various herbs, bushes, shrubs and trees through distillation leaves behind the subtle, aromatic and volatile liquid that becomes what we know as the 'essential' oil.  Essential Oils come from concentrated plant matter and the 'soul' or 'essence' of the distillation is what gives the oil its characteristics. What will leave an impression on you is the healing source from the 'soul' or 'essence'  of that particular oil. Each oil is derived from a different part of the plant and each plant is as unique as a snowflake.

Essential Oils are also comprised of naturally occurring chemicals that work in synergy with one another. These naturally occurring synergistic chemicals cause a reaction within our brains; and these reactions can effect our emotions. Inhaling is the easiest way to enjoy quality essential oils.  But there are many other ways that safe herbs and  essential oils can be a benefit. Tinctures, face masks, steam, salves, teas and powders, are just a few of the many ways people use herbs and oils.  From sprained ankles to headaches, from back pain to eye strain, there is probably an herb or plant that may help you in the healing process!

Handcrafted  Bath and Body Products

The process of putting various organic and natural oils together resulting in wonderful, sudsy lathering facial and body bars still never ceases to delight me! I love trying out new recipes and adding that oh-so-unusual ingredient to make the soaps unique and special.  It is hard for me to have a favorite soap for long as the next batch is always ready and willing and able to take that position!

Our soaps and creams are made of the highest natural organic quality products. The oils that seem to always bring the best results are Unrefined Virgin Olive Oil, Organic Shea Butter, Organic Pure Natural Coconut Oil, Palm Oil and Palm Kernel Oil, Jojoba Oil and Sweet Almond Oil. These are some of my favorite oils and then adding a little Monoi de Tahiti (I LOVE this one!) with its addictive sweet gardenia smell - well, it's like being in heaven! Adding a little oatmeal flakes, grated orange peels, or another ingredient into the soap mixture always brings about a smile!  I've even added the pulp from carrots after juicing-and that was a really pleasant surprise!  At the final step, it sometimes can get perplexing on which essential oils to add...peppermint? lavender? gardenia? vanilla? So many choices!

And don't get me started on using Goat's Milk or Herbal Tea instead of water! Oh my!! Not to forget our loofah type soaps which will exfoliate and exhilarate your skin and our creams and lotions to caress you with sweet fragrances and creamy natural organic oils. This is one of my favorite parts of being involved with essential oils and home made natural products! Creating various new styles of soaps and creams is one of the most fulfilling and satisfying projects yet! Check out our recipes and give it a try! We can also help you find the supplies you will need for creating home made natural products! Or, of course, you can purchase these items through TLC Naturally and be completely satisfied!
