It’s a really pretty park on the intercoastal with excellent sidewalks, excellent parking, food trucks, and lots of space for the kids to run around.
They have a really cool playground, lots of shelters, it’s about a 15 acre waterfront recreational area that is very nicely put together.

Watching this limited edition balm, solidify is mesmerizing! 

FINALLY figured out how to work with Irish sea moss and create a supportive skin care product.

This moss was located in County Clare, Ireland it was harvested by hand and sent to us all the way here to Florida. 😱

This balm is made with the Irish sea moss, beeswax, sweet almond, extra virgin olive oil, raw cocoa butter, h**p seed and a little bit of magnolia that I had left over.
You will not smell the magnolia, but it certainly made a huge difference so you don’t smell like seaweed! 🤣

Irish moss is a beneficial seaweed that offers a natural carrageenan. It provides a deep hydration, skin barrier and some pretty neat skin soothing properties.
The seaweed contains complex sugars that act as natural humectant. It is packed with polyphenols, vitamins, A, C and E, and a ton of minerals that neutralize free radicals caused by pollution and UV exposure.
The minerals like magnesium and zinc alongside marine extracts are anti-inflammatory and gives collagen support.

This balm can help to firm the skin, replenish, soothe, and heal compromised skin.
This would be excellent for psoriasis, eczema, severe dry, cracked skin, mature skin, elbows, feet, knees, cuticles, and hands.
This is a pretty strong balm, and so I am not going to recommend for the face unless it’s for a spot treatment, but you can absolutely use it as a full body balm.

It took us about a year to work with this Irish sea moss to extract it and for it to be completely shelf stable offering high-quality results. Completely organic.

With its fun green coloring and the fact that it’s seaweed… We thought this would be the perfect time to offer it during our Halloween online event for October 10th. 🎃

Sacred Seaweed Skin Balm will debut on the website October 10th and it will be a limited one time batch due to the scarcity of the ingredients. 

OUT OF OFFICE 

We will be taking a small break next week starting
Thursday, October 1st to October 5th.

We will be participating in a celebration of life for my father ❤️

Thank you for understanding, and if you have any particular items that you need replenished, we are able to do this up until next Wednesday night before we close. 


Our bar soaps are very popular!

Completely plant based, and they are long cured to ensure a long lasting bar that will not melt down the side of your soap holder.
You will not find gooey sticky soap underneath the bar between use .
They can be easily cut in half to have one bar for the shower and one bar for the sink or to share between bathrooms.
You can cut a small piece off at the end and bring it with you for travel.
Our bar soaps are lightly scented naturally and will absolutely not smell like perfume or synthetic fragrances.

Some of the bars are very light due to the herb, such as lavender, where some of the other bars are a bit more stronger because of the Bass notes of that specific herb/spice such the nag champa and the vanilla coconut.
We have bars that have no scent such as the activated charcoal and the red mineral bar.

These bar soaps can additionally have multipurpose uses… And there’s no problem with using them to scrub down produce or wash dishes.
I personally use the activated charcoal to wash down produce with, or our all purpose cleaner. 

Our vanilla coconut bar soap is back in stock!

Grab one before they are gone!

We are working on the pine bar soap today, but it will still need time  to cure.🫣

Bar Soap - Vanilla Coconut This is a popular naturally scented hand crafted bar soap that can be used for both the face and the body. Completely plant based with plant oils, extra coconut and vanilla essential oil. It smells good enough to eat! Keeping your skin hydrated requires protecting the natural oils in the top most la...

Have a couple of orders going out that are practically duplicates  but being shipped out in opposite directions 😊

This is a perfect set up for your routine skin care.

Personally, I like to think of it as a feed your face regiment 🤪

The suggested way to layer your skin care before makeup is to go from thinnest to thickest in consistency and with always giving each product a minute or two to absorb.

When I’m applying my skin care, I will do a task in between such as making the bed, brushing my teeth, brushing my hair type of stuff to allow time for my products to do their job.

Cleanse first- This order is offering our lavender bar soap, which is a wonderful gentle plant-based cleanser for the face and body. I like to think of this as washing it before your meal. 

Toner- this of course is optional, but as I’ve grown older, I have very much learned to appreciate this product. Applying a thin layer after cleansing will additionally hydrate, pick up any extra dirt oil, and help to balance the skin. 
I always like to think of this as my skins appetizer before its meal 🤣

Serum - a beautiful face treatment that only requires a few drops that gives your skin and nutritional boost and hydration.
The detox oil in particular is very soothing, helps with redness and helps to fight oxidative stress. This is your skin food.

Moisturizer – the lavender face cream is a lightweight moisturizer and again only needing a few dabs because it is concentrated and has the beeswax as your final protective layer. This helps to evenly lock and hydration and make sure to wait three minutes for it to fully sink in if you can.
This is your skins beverage.

If you want to serve your face some dessert, then I highly recommend our facial mists ❤️❤️❤️

Keep in mind that each person is different and if you have oily skin, it is just as important to moisturize the in a different order.

For oily skin..
It would be cleanse, toner, lotion moisturizer and then serum.
Our “lotion“ moisturizer has a low water content and so it is thinner than cream. We offer a lavender lotion, frankincense, and a cucumber lotion that works very nicely for the face.
( we plan on restocking the daytime lotions very soon as several are sold out) The butterfly lotion is in stock right now.

Oily skin in particular needs to be moisturized because you were challenged by two different things. Sebum (oil) and hydration (water & plant derived oil)  
When you skip moisturizer, your skin becomes dehydrated and it then produces access sebum oil to try and make up the difference.
Your oily complexion goes into overdrive when not hydrated and this sometimes makes people feel that they shouldn’t use a moisturizer because their skin is already oily and that’s not true.

At Oakwood Natural Living, our products are handcrafted in small batches with the finest and freshest ingredients possible.
We create clean, natural, and toxin free products that your skin will love! ❤️❤️

Wax working this week for our October 10th Halloween online event!

Here is a sneak peek at a few things that will be available during the event.












Make sure to take a peak outside to catch a glimpse!

Working on fire starters for our Halloween online event coming soon.

This Lovely has all the scents of fall!

Pine, cinnamon, anise, clove, orange and calendula.

Hard to decide… Do I wanna drink it or burn it? 🤣

The scent is very aromatic and will most definitely make you feel warm and toasty while enjoying your outdoor fire pits and campfires.
I know a couple of you are heading up north in November to do some camping 🥰

This will be a good one for your campfire and being able to roast marshmallows without chemical starters.🫶🏻
