a blog for Kuntry Kreations at last!

I have to admit that blogging has never been my strong suite but I am going to give this a shot! I am hoping that this format will enable better communication with our customers as well as provide useful information.

I will post articles related to soaps, herbs, chemicals, and those things that are relative to the site. Most resistance I find to our products seem to be cost associated so I think in my first blog I would like to address this. The cost of our soaps has been set at the lower range of comparable natural soap pricing. I know that you can go buy "soap" at the supermarket for much less. Been there, done that and I still have spontaneous itching reflexes when I think about it!

I could go into all of the effects of using detergents on your skin but you already know about the dry, puckered feeling your skin gets. You already know that you spend a fortune in lotions and skin care products to try to re-moisturize after using these products. You most likely know about the chemicals and preservatives added that might make the soap last longer, lather better, and have a bright cheerful color.

So, I will tell you about the benefits of using our soaps.

• Olive Oil: This is the most wonderful gift for our skin. It has anti-aging and hydrating qualities due to the way it bind moisture into the skin cells without blocking the pores. It allows your skin to breath. "The benefits of olive oil do not only affect the skin’s surface temporarily; the body’s cells actually incorporate the valuable fatty acids from the oil, making the skin stronger and more hydrated (http://www.carefair.com/Skincare/Treatments/Moisturize_with_Olive_ Oil_867.html)". I will post this article in the next blog for you to read, it is one of many I have found.
  
• Essential Oils: Are derived from plants by distillation process.
• Organically grown Herbs: No chemicals used: no pesticides, no growth hormones.
  
• Natural colors: No chemicals or "man made" coloring. Simply clays, natural pigments, herbs and spices.

By using natural products to make our soaps the benefit to you is that you are going to be putting on your skin only those things that benefit your body.

• You will save the money you are spending on all those skin care products.
• Your skin will maintain it's elasticity therefore slowing the aging process.
• You will benefit from the natural occurring anti-oxidants that cause aging.

I cannot guarantee that you will never have a problem with any of our soaps. If you have allergies to scented products I would play it safe and use Castille or one of the herbal soaps. My personal favorite is the Lemonbalm, it smells good makes my skin soft and wonderful and doesn't make me itch!

I think I have said enough on this first post. I really hope this blog turns out to be a great source for exchanging information to all of us!

Blessings!
