Soothing Herbals Apothecary

Soothing Herbals is fantastic. My family discovered them at the local farmers market. I’ve moved away since then, so they’re no longer local, but I’ve started ordering from their website because I can’t find anything like it.
My must-​have products are the Floral Face Wash (a little bit goes a long way) and Soothing Rose cream, which smells delicious and natural.

I have two things to rave about Soothing Herbals! The first is the high quality of the products, and the second is the customer service.
I bought the eye restore serum, and requested a custom deodorant. It could be my imagination… but I swear the eye serum started working after the second time I put it on. The reason I tried it is because we all know the disappointment of buying store-​bought stuff that doesn’t work. With all the «chemistry», scientists, and fancy fragrances you’d think they’d be able to make the stuff do SOMETHING! (Besides burn a hole in your wallet.) Chin has used organic herbs she’s grown herself to make a serum that smells great, and really hydrates. It’s lightweight and safe to apply to the whole eye area. I’m a mom to two small kids, and I don’t get much sleep. I love coffee, I don’t drink as much water as I should, and from «time to time» I get stressed out. All of those things take a toll of the eye area. And everyone tells me I still look young, but I have noticed my eyes getting fine wrinkles. So I bought the serum. And I think I look younger already. In a «I-​get-​lots-​of-​sleep-​and-​have-​dewy-​firm-​eye-​skin» kind of way. It’s cool. In a weird way it makes me want to consider switching to green tea and spending more time praying while doing stretches in the early AM. Incredible, right?! Also, the bottle will probably last me 2 – 3 years (applying twice daily) because such a little bit is needed at a time.
Moving onto my favorite product: the custom deodorant. I came across this recipe online (at Crunchy
) and asked Chin if she could make it. I love DIY stuff as much as the next domestic goddess, but some things I want to leave to the professionals. Chin was more than willing! She whipped it up in about a week, and I am here to tell you it is amazing. It is the best smelling deodorant I have ever smelled! Chin suggested some essential oils that would compliment the ones in my solid perfume and the result is that I smell great everywhere. If there is a happier, sexier smelling/​feeling woman in this part of Virginia, you’d be hard-​pressed to find her.
I cannot wait to come back for other custom requests (face cleansing oil) and soap bars!
