Brittanie’s Thyme of Cedar Springs

Beginning this new year, Brittanie’s Thyme will expand with not only new and upcoming products but also with a little more detailed information about our individual products.  So this week we’d like to start with our Organic Citrus Cleanser and some of the benefits.

Ingredients: Organic Aloe (for hydration and gentle cleansing)

100% Natural Glycerin (softens skin, atracts moisture from the air)

Organic Jojoba Oil ( closest to our natural body sebum oil, readily absorbed)

Vitamin E (healing properties, antioxidant, preservative)

Organic Grapefruit essential oil (antioxidant, stimulant and cleansing)

Organic Rosemary essential oil (improves circulation, creates glowing skin)

This product is a gentle gel/liquid cleanser, providing you with hydration, light moisturizing and  essentail oils  that improve skin’s natural glow.  It is effective on all skin types without drying and provides the slightest moistuizing without clogging pores.  This is the reason you will not find any emulsifiers in this product. Once you’ve tried our lighter cleanser, you will feel the original softness your skin was meant to have.

Imagination to Creation Jewelry of North Muskegon

This Saturday I will be hosting my END OF THE YEAR sale again.  I usually hold this sale 2-3 weekends but it didn’t work out that way this year and I have had folks say “I wish you were having your sale again”, so I am.

EVERYTHING on the tables will be 50 % off.  I will have jewelry, purses, and totes.
