Au Naturel Essence

All natural treats for body and soul

About

Hello and welcome to my blog!  My name is Alia and I’m pleased that you found me.

I’ve been dabbling in the art of making natural products for some time now.  I’ve always enjoyed making things, whether it was beaded jewelry, new yummy food concoctions, or a homemade lip balm.  Simply put, it’s the perfect outlet for my creative side.

I started making homemade body care products after I received a gift from my brother in law.  It was a book about making perfumes.  I tried a few of the recipes and, while they didn’t come out perfect the first time, I instantly fell in love with this world of natural products.  From there, I branched out into sprays and scrubs and even ventured into soaps.

Everything that I’ve made has contained ingredients that are easy to pronounce and are easy to find.  It’s a relief to use a product that doesn’t have any mystery (or unpronounceable) ingredients.

Thank you again for stopping by!
