gift guide

 

   the manly man 

 cavendish soap is well liked among men and women, but has a very deep, tobacco and earthy scent with ground loofah in it for a light scrubby feel that just might be a great fit for a grandfather, dad, husband or boyfriend who wants a masculine smell in the shower!

unscented liploves are great for men who work outside in the winter, or even just are prone to dry lips who don't want to feel like they have "gunk" on their lips. its moisture without grease that lasts long and won't burn or agitate skin!

solid lotions are perfect for any manly man who's too stubborn to moisturize their skin! we get it here at bg... you don't want to smell fruity all day... etc.. well, these lotion pucks are as manly as it gets all while still being the best for your skin, without smelling fruity. you tip them out into your hands and they warm up with your body temperature and soak in, creating a protective barrier over your skin against natures harsh winter elements! (and they're the same shape as a can of chew in a back pocket if they want to hide the lotion from their friends - just saying)

    simple for her

spa bar is simple, clean and perfect for any woman in your life - when the world gets crazy and there just isn't quite enough time to go relax at the spa... bring the spa to her!

fleur de sel is a new bodywhip that we brought out this holiday season and it is already a growing favorite! this scent is very subtle and light but is just enough to give you a whiff of fresh clean flower fields and all things soft all through out the day. a new must have. 

     son, daughter / niece, nephew

we all get breakouts - but its no secret that young adults suffer from acne. hormones, stress and diet all play a part, but most important, the products we use make the biggest difference! 

 crud! a magical mineral rich soap that is sort of a cure-all for skin issues. we recommend crud for pretty much everything, but only because it works. it can be used as a face and body bar by anyone! not just young adults or people who suffer from acne. for many people, (myself included) this is their every day soap. - oh, and yes, another thing is to really get the best results, only wash once a day! less is always more. 

crud is amazing  - but it has an awesome sidekick - treatment serum! treatment serum is a specially formulated to treat and restore skin.. it has a natural SPF of 40 and abilities like restoring elastin and collagen, fighting free radicals, soothing irritation, cell regeneration, helping to even out unbalanced skin tone, balance oil production, reduce scarring, fade discoloration, minimize breakouts. pretty cool right? we thought so too. it can be used as a daily moisturizer, or even as a mild spot treatment!

last but not least, rose hydrosol (rose water). rose is a well known skin rejuvenation ingredient, with its anti aging, circulation, regenerating properties.  - rose also has additional amazing anti-inflammatory properties and so much more - rose water is a simple and beneficial addition to any skincare regimen.

     mature skin 

remedy serum is something that all skin types can use, however if someone is looking for something that will pair well with mature skin, remedy serum is our go to recommendation.  this formula has the ability to calm inflammation, help the process of healing wounds ( burns, surgeries, bruising etc), minimize scarring, fade discoloration, reduce the signs of aging, help control dark under eye area, heal broken capillaries, tone, revitalize, and restore / rejuvenate skin. 

frenchy is a simple soap. lavender, oat flour, and its exceptional lather are the highlights of this bar. it is smooth, simple and well loved by mature skin! these two go great together.
