Lip Balms to Keep the Lips Plump and Moist

Lip Balms was on our “to do” list and thankfully we got them all done. We have THREE new flavors to add to our growing list – Chocolate Mint, Coconut Lemongrass and Raspberry Lemonade. Of course we kept Mango it is one of our best sellers along with LaVanilla which is a balanced blend of lavender and vanilla. The only difference with LaVanilla is it is now in an ALL VEGAN FORMULA along with Simply Herbal which will impart a little tingle on the puckers. Check them out on Etsy and Online.

Happy New Year - from Karess Krafters!

We are entering our fourth year and we would like to thank each of you for your continued support.

As you may already know, our focus is formulating superior products for your hair and skin using premium ingredients found around the globe and this year will be NO exception. As we journey through 2009, we will be making many changes to our bath and body catalog that will include vegan-friendly products and eco-friendly packaging.

We have slashed prices on many of our “soon to be retired” items such as our Clean Cut Shaving Soap, Lime Ale soap made with real Beer, Sugar Passion Roll-On Perfume and our Foot Soap with Pumice and Walnut Shell Powder to make room for the NEW! We will be introducing more goats milk and essential oil based handmade soaps like Citrus Splash, Hello Sunshine and Honey Almond Sugar Cookie to name a few. Also, we will be replacing our Roll-On Perfume fragrances with more earthy blends like Nag Champa, Egyptian Musk and Patchouli. Even though we are introducing many new products we will continue to offer our most popular items that many of you have come to love - Blue Passion Handmade Soap, Citrus Blossom Shea Monoi Butter, and our Botanical Shampoo Bar.

Lastly, the staff at Karess Krafters is elxcited to be introducing these exciting new changes. We hope that you all enjoy the wonderful surprises we have in store to share!

Sincerely,

The Karess Krafters Team

Happy New Year

Happy New Year – hope you all had a joyous and peaceful time during the holiday season. It was a wonderful, yet busy time over at Karess Krafters. Once the Christmas rush was over the Karess Krafters staff was able to get some much needed rest and time to spend with family.

What's New.!?

We have been soaping for the last past two days and still have a ways to go. We are gearing up for the new year as we prepare to phase out many of our fragranced based products and replace them with skin care treats scented with premium essential oils. Why? It is simple! We want to offer our customers the best product(s) that are formulated from as many plant-derived ingredients as possible. Not only will you see more essential oil scented body care products, you will also see new packaging for our soaps. We are nixing the soap boxes for 1) to help our customers save on shipping and 2) our new packaging will allow customers to see the product. What is the soap packaging replacement? Well, you’ll have to wait and see come the first of the year or you may visit us at Sanderson High School annual Christmas Craft Show on December 6 & 7. We plan to have our new packaging on display provided our old stock is “sold out” at the Christmas Carousel at the Jim Graham Building at the Raleigh Fairgrounds the weekend after Thanksgiving (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). Here are a few of our new soaps. Oh, did we forget. We also have a new recipe for our soaps. Not that the old one was bad, but we wanted to incorporate Safflower oil for its moisturizing, nourishing and restructuring properties. And your skin is going to love it. Well here are a handful of our new soaps

New Clean Cut Soap

Our Clean Cut soap has more to offer than just a sensual smell. It is a gentle, pure and natural way to shave, bath and/or shampoo your hair. Great for shaving beards, legs, underarms or any place else that needs a razor smooth cut. The addition of mineral clays allows a smooth razor glide and a silky feel, while the Avocado oil and Cocoa butter lend a generous dose of moisture. Its beautiful aroma is anchored with a spicy, yet sensual essential oil blend of Sweet Basil, Pink Grapefruit, Lavender, Lemon and Lime that can be appreciated by both male and female. Special Hint: Great for bathing and shampooing hair too.
