New All-Natural Skin Care Products Made in Virginia Conjure up the Fragrant Scents of Rural England’s Outdoors

Founded recently by Alyce Penn, The Good Earth Store features unique blends inspired by her memories of growing up in England.

Fairfax, Virginia (PRWEB) November 29, 2006

Lavender Soap. Lemongrass Soap. Ruby Red Grapefruit & Peppermint Foot Soak. Balsam Berry Relaxing Bath Milk. These fresh, made-to-order skin care products from The Good Earth Store evoke England’s traditional countryside not only because of their fragrant ingredients but also because of the hand-crafted, health-conscious, good-for-you way in which they are made (www. thegoodearthstore. com).

Founded recently by Alyce Penn, The Good Earth Store features unique blends inspired by her memories of growing up in England.

“Something I’m always struck by when I return to my family home in northern England is the fresh, clear air,” she says. “I’ve done my best to capture its vibrancy in flower and fruit extracts, herbs and botanicals that conjure up images such as quaint English flower gardens, fresh English seaside air, and old English apple orchards.”

Even better, The Good Earth Store’s no-detergent soaps and cleansers nourish the skin and the body with all natural ingredients like honey, shea butter, mango and cocoa butters, olive oil, apricot kernel oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil and aloe vera. Instead of harsh and potentially harmful chemicals to promote a long shelf life, the products use mild, organic preservatives. The fragrances come from original blends of essential oils.

“Since what we apply topically to our skin gets absorbed into the bloodstream, ingredients that contain anti-oxidants help protect both our skin and our inner organs from the damaging effects of free radicals,” Penn says. “Something like honey is just as good for us in skin-care products as in foods. Not only is honey a natural antibiotic and it’s believed to have healing properties that stimulate the re-growth of tissue, it contains vitamin B6, vitamin C, zinc, calcium and iron, as well as anti-oxidants.”

To many women interested in healthy living, the luxuriant pace at which The Good Earth Store’s body pampering products are hand made also fits the inclination toward simpler and more wholesome beauty regimes.

Not available in department stores, The Good Earth Store’s evocatively scented body and bath products range in price from $5 up and are available by visiting www. thegoodearthstore. com.
