Ditch the Water, Keep the Moisture: Why Solid Lotion Bars Are Your Skin’s Winter BFF
When you live in a dry climate like Colorado, you know how it goes: as soon as the cool weather hits, your skin seemingly gets dry overnight and you start scouring your cabinets for more lotion. Traditional lotions, which can be up to 80% water, evaporate quickly and often come in wasteful plastic. They can also be heavy and are prone to leaking - not exactly what you want to stick in your pocket or fave purse when you are on-the-go.
Enter our All-Natural Solid Lotion. Our lotion, available as round bars or solid sticks, is 100% pure, concentrated goodness. They melt at body temperature, sinking deep to create a powerful, lasting barrier against the dry air. No water means more powerful ingredients, longer-lasting moisture, no need for synthetic preservatives. Skin friendly, eco-friendly, and travel-friendly.
If we have learned anything watching our customers sniff out our soap bars, it’s that everyone’s nose is different. Our skin is different too, and different ingredients work best for different people. So, we carefully tested, listened to feedback, iterated, and settled on 3 fabulous lotion bars options. All of our bars feature locally sourced Colorado Beeswax, which gives them their solid form and acts as a fantastic natural emollient, locking all that moisture into your skin.
HOME ON THE RANGE. Scented with bright Orange and earthy Rosemary essential oils, this bar is special because it features Colorado Beef Tallow and Colorado High-Oleic Sunflower Oil, both sustainable, local ingredients that are great for dry skin. Tallow is deeply restorative and mimics your skin's natural oils, making this the perfect choice to conquer the harshest Colorado dryness. Sunflower Oil acts as a skin-softening emollient and aids in moisture retention. This one is our personal fave!
MIDSUMMER DREAM. This bar is a daily luxury, featuring the lightweight moisture of Shea Butter and Apricot Kernel Oil—rich in vitamins for soft skin without feeling heavy. The scent blend of calming Lavender, Bergamot, and Frankincense makes this your ideal companion for everyday hydration and relaxation.
QUIET BLOOM. When your skin is stressed, sensitive, or irritated, leverage all the botanic goodness packed into this bar. Featuring moisturizing Shea Butter and Mango Butter, this bar is infused with skin-healing herbs like Calendula, Dandelion, and Chamomile. The invigorating scent of Peppermint and Eucalyptus combined with precious Helichrysum offers a refreshing, soothing remedy for troubled winter skin.
We know our customers care about the planet as much as convenience, and we created two fabulous packaging options to meet your lifestyle needs and limit waste. Both come in 1-oz or 2-oz options.
- The Reusable Travel Tin: The ultimate zero-waste container. The tins contain round lotion bars, which you rub between your hands to warm up the lotion and then apply where you need it. If you’re the type to forget your lotion in your car (where it may melt on a hot day or in direct sun), this option is best! The tins are also super-sturdy and durable in a purse, backpack or wherever you stick them when on the go.
- The Biodegradable Push-Up Tube: The mess-free option! Swipe the bar directly onto dry patches without getting your hands messy. When you're done, toss the label (not biodegradable) and compost the tube.
We hope you enjoyed learning about our lotion bars. Take good care of your skin this winter!
