As winter blows in with colder temperatures and lower humidity, our skin can take a beating. Lack of moisture leaves skin dry, irritated, itchy, flaky, and older looking. Healin' Hollers produces some great all natural products to help you keep your skin nourished, moisturized, and healthy.

$3.00 per bar C. F., Kingston, AR I have used Burt's Bees products for years on myself and my 2 year old son.  I was very pleased with the results until I began using them on my 5 months old daughter.  She has developed atopic dermatitis (eczema). I tried several different Burt's Bees products on her with no avail. I discovered the products I was using had fragrances added, and I think that was probably the irritant. I found some Healin' Hollers Lye Soap at a natural food store and began using it.  After only two times of bathing her she was noticeably better. In fact, I used to bathe her every other day, but now I bathe her everyday because it really seems to soothe her skin.

Homemade Lye Soap Many people have an immediate negative reaction to the thought of “lye soap.” What they don’t understand is that all soap is made with lye. Soap is the result of a chemical process called saponification, a process that mixes vegetable oils or animals fats together with a water solution of a strong alkali (lye). The resulting reaction creates soap that contains natural glycerin. Soaps that are mass produced in factories and called “bath bar,” or “deodorant bar,” or “beauty bar,” are actually synthetic detergents, not soap. They contain no glycerin because soap manufacturers remove it and sell it to other manufacturers who use it in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products. Grocery store soaps are also filled with synthetic ingredients that have nothing to do with cleaning or taking care of your skin. Many of these ingredients are the very things that dry skin and cause allergic reactions. Healin’ Hollers Lye Soap has no lye in the final product. It has all been reacted with the fats to form soap and glycerin. And the glycerin is what helps to moisturize your skin and keeps the soap from drying out. No chemicals, emollients, artificial fragrances, or colors are added. Just a pure, white, wonderful bar of soap. Gentle enough to use on dry, damaged skin. Gentle enough to use on your baby's skin.

Witness the anti-oxidants of Green Tea nourishing and healing your skin. Witness the collagen strengthening effects of Gotu Kola. Witness Oil for smoother, firmer, healthier skin.
