Don’t let the Tobacco in the name put you off. I have never smelled anything like this one of a kind scent that makes me think back to olden days, also my lovely Grandpa; not the yucky, tobacco scent.

Whipped Sugar Butter, Wow what a delight to use.  I had tons of fluffy bubbles in my bath with this stuff. I love that is doubles, even triples as an exfoliator and a light moisturizer.

Smells like amber, sandalwood paired with vanilla, nutmeg, bergamot, galbanum and Ambergris, YUM.

So here we have Melissa’s Wax Tarts which are 80% pure Soy and 20% Paraffin wax. All 3 of the tarts have a perfect scent throw. I can’t stand it when I get a candle/wax that has almost no scent!whats the point?. They all melted well, and just one tart made my entire house smell beautiful. My personal favorite is Lemon Fluff Bunny.  I am sorry to say that currently she is sold out of these tarts, but I am sure it will not take Melissa long to whip some up.

About The Owner, you should read this too!. 

Love & Lotus Naturals is owned and operated by Melissa Buck.  I live in Shakopee, MN with my four beautiful children and Nate, my significant other of seven years, who has been and continues to be encouraging and supportive of my love for producing quality, luxe body products from the sidelines.  I have a degree in Executive Office Administration and have owned a successful private home cleaning business for 18 years which has helped me begin this new adventure in my life.  My love for body care came years ago when one of my children suffered from eczema and NOTHING was helping.  When my pediatrician suggested something with steroids I KNEW I needed more time to try something else first.  I scoured article after article, website after website, anything I could find to try to do this naturally.  The world opened up to me.   I was determined.  I learned about oils and butters I never even knew existed. I researched how oils were extracted (that’s important), I learned about fair trade companies, I learned about chemicals and the science behind the chemicals, I joined groups with Herbalists, Cosmetologists, Chemists and Skin Care Professionals, I have watched webinars and taken online classes.  In the end, I was not only able to find a better way to help my child but also a way to put my passion to work for me.  I am a completely self-taught crafter who absolutely LOVES anything body care related.  My products are made with many natural and organic ingredients as well as love, passion and the desire to provide you with quality skincare.  I hope you enjoy my products as much as I enjoyed making them.  I appreciate your business and support more than you know.  Because of you, I have more time to do something I love.  Thank You for joining me on this journey to healthier skin.
xoxo,
Melissa
