Hello, SultrySmooth friends!

I began my journey of making skincare products in 2011 by falling in love with a lavender grapefruit essential oil combination that was randomly given to me by a local massage therapist in Upper Sandusky, Ohio. I searched and searched the internet for this scent in a lotion but came up empty-handed. I wasn't a fan of store-bought lotions as they would leave me with a sticky residue and contain a bunch of unnecessary chemically-laden ingredients that I couldn't pronounce. I wanted a SAFE, non-greasy, smooth lotion with a luxurious feel and radiant scent. During this time, I was on a cake baking kick and decided to try to make my own lotion, hoping it was easier than baking cake. I found a random recipe online and it turned out to be the most high-quality sultry smooth lotion I've ever used! I then figured out that the world was my scent oyster and I could make any scent combination I wanted! SultrySmooth Essentials (the most beautiful and only name I even considered) was born.

I started selling my lotion at farmer's markets and local craft shows. I was blown away by the kind-hearted souls I met! They started to ask me for handmade soap. To be honest, I had never even considered making soap. I had no idea how to make it! The customer demand was so high that I began to research and thanks to countless YouTube videos and books, I started to make cold-process handmade soap in 2015. I then learned how to make an array of other goodies such as emulsified body butters, essential oil rollerballs, facial moisturizers (I've been using the Lavender Tea Tree Facial Moisturizer since I originally created it!), eye cream, facial toner, beeswax products (baby balm, salves, lip balms), beard oils, facial toner, shower gel, shampoo and bubble bath. You could say that I ran with it!

Making skincare products is my passion. My passion to create has provided a creative outlet and therapeutic escape over the years. My tears of heartbreak have fallen on my creations and each product has an essence of my soul. I have many local customers as well as many repeat customers all over the United States. I've become close to many of you and I thank you for your support and friendship over the years. All the SultrySmoothness and Love to you!
