We reserve the right to shift and change our recipes, because we are creative, and because there are so many sources of inspiration! Exact ingredients will always be printed on each jar. Feel free to email or call if you have questions about specific ingredients. Each lotion and cream will be marked with its unique Blend #, so you can find out exactly when it was created.

Creams & Lotions

Four Jars of Lotion

1/3-oz $5.00 1-oz $10.00
2-oz $20.00 4-oz $35.00

Peppermint Foot Cream
To nurture and heal your lovely feet.

The Story: Lisa is a photographer who spends long hours on her feet, and a swimmer as well, which can dehydrate her skin. She asked for a soothing, healing foot cream, and thus Ms. Lisa's Peppermint Foot Cream was born in 2008! Rich shea butter to nourish dry skin, herbs to support healthy tissue repair, chamomile & peppermint to soothe and cool hardworking feet. It's also great for knees, elbows, and hardworking hands! **Do not use on puncuture wounds.**

The Ingredients: Almond oil infused with chamomile, plantain, gotu kola, comfrey, and calendula, h2o, coconut oil, shea butter, beeswax, sodium borate, essential oil.

Body Butter
For deep moisturizing and healing.

The Story: Gabrielle wanted a rich cream for her dry skin, especially for summer sundress and sandal season! This luxurious cream is deeply moisturizing for dry skin, hands, knees, and elbows.

The Ingredients: Almond oil infused with chamomile, plantain, and calendula; aloe gel, h20, coconut oil, shea & cocoa butters, beeswax, sodium borate, essential oil.

For "Summer Lovin'," try Ms. Gabrielle's Mix to keep your legs and feet sandal-ready: her custom-blended scent of lemon balm, sweet orange, and ginger. Or, for "Winter Healing" try warming Ginger-Cardamom to protect your hands from cold-weather chafing.

Medium Lotion
An all-over lotion for hands, body, and dry face.

The Story: Tricia (that's me) wanted a year-round lotion for her dry-ish body and face. This gentle yet moisturizing lotion is heavy enough for arms and legs, but light enough for a dry face -- it finds the perfect middle-road of balance. There's a bit of cocoa butter for richness, coupled with almond oil, which blends perfectly into the skin.

The Ingredients: Almond oil infused with chamomile, h20, coconut oil, aloe gel, cocoa butter, beeswax, essential oil.

Try luscious Lemon Balm, the scent that launched Leafyhead Lotions and Potions!

 

Light Lotion
For your lovely face or hands.

The Story: Christine is a busy working mom, an actor, and a swimmer. She needed a light but moisturizing lotion for her delicate skin. This is our very lightest concoction, to moisturize without heaviness or greasiness.

The Ingredients: Almond oil infused with chamomile, h20, coconut oil, aloe gel, beeswax, sodium borate, essential oil.

Try Soothing Lavender, Ms. Christine's favorite!

 

Infusion-Based Creams

Creams and lotions are always made with a portion of water. These special infusion-based creams use herbal tea in place of water, adding another layer of healing action to these creams! The down-side? The product doesn't last as long. **Infusion-based creams must be refrigerated if you're not going to use them up within 2 weeks.**

Itch & Inflammation Cream
For itches, rashes, and mild wounds.

The Story: Beth is a bartender, and she asked for a cream to soothe her dry, cracked hands after an evening of washing glasses. I created this potion for her, and then realized that it relieved my allergic hives! And then, it performed brilliantly in calming Martin's reactions to mosquito bites and cat-induced rash! The herbs in this mix have been used traditionally to help the body moderate inflammation, and aid the healing of skin.

The Ingredients: Almond oil infused with chamomile, calendula, and plantain; infusion of chamomile, calendula, plantain, and gotu kola; aloe gel, coconut oil, castor oil, beeswax, sodium borate, essential oils of lavender and/or tea tree.

 

Light Lotion: Green Tea & Rose
For your lovely face.

The Story: Most Leafyhead products are formulated to support dry skin, and I wanted an option for those of you with oily skin. This infusion-based lotion is the same recipe as our standard Light Lotion, using green tea and rose water in place of h2o. Green tea and rose are both gently astringent (drying) and anti-oxidant. Because it contains no essential oils as preservatives, the shelf life of this cream is 3 months when refrigerated.

The Ingredients: Almond oil infused with chamomile, infusion of green tea, aloe gel, coconut oil, rose water, beeswax, sodium borate.

 

Lip Balms & Salves

Lip Balm Tubes

.15-oz tube $3.00
10 mL jar $5.00

Boobie Balm
For chafes, scrapes, rashes, and super-chapped lips.

The Story: Ann was breastfeeding, and her baby's nursing followed by the strain of pumping (wet and dry, over and over) made her nipples chaffed and painful. She declares, "After trying many other products, it was the Boobie Balm that finally eased my pain enough to make nursing comfortable." It's not just for boobies, of course; apply it to any rashes, scrapes, or chafes you may have, including especially chapped lips. Castor oil is deeply healing and moisturizing; chamomile modulates inflammation, and comfrey supports tissue healing. **Do not use on puncture wounds.**

The Ingredients: Almond oil infused with chamomile & comfrey root and leaf; beeswax.

 

Beautiful Cuticle Cream
For your cuticles.

The Story: Her husband wanted to create a fabuous gift package for her birthday. I asked what sort of skin she had -- dry? oily? -- and he didn't know. I asked what sort of scents she liked -- lavender? peppermint? -- and he didn't know. What he did know was that she had ragged cuticles. So this cream is for her! (Names have been withheld to protect the innocent.) Rich shea butter moisturizes, castor oil deeply moisturizes and aids healing, comfrey and gotu-kola encourage tissue regrowth.

The Ingredients: Shea butter, almond oil infused with gotu kola and comfrey leaf & root, castor oil, beeswax.

 

Lip Balm
For your lips.

The Story: I was a lip balm/ chapstick/ carmex addict for my entire life! The thought of making my own darn lip balm filled me with passion, and here I am today. This simple, gentle salve will NOT contribute to a lip-balm addiction; it will work to moisturize and heal your skin. Chamomile is soothing and cools inflammation, and all-natural oils moisturize the skin, while beeswax locks in the moisture.

The Ingredients: Almond oil infused with chamomile, coconut oil, cocoa butter, beeswax, essential oil.

Flavors include Cilantro, Coffee, Fennel, Ginger-Cardamom, Lavender, and Patchouli, and Peppermint.

 

Bath Salts

Bath Salts

12-oz jar $15.00

The Story: Do we really need a story about bath salts - what's not to love? Soothe your muscles, relax your body, and ease your mind.

The Ingredients: Epsom salts, sea salts (such as Hawaiian red salt, Himalayan pink salt, Celtic sea salt), herbs (optional), and essential oils.

Bath Milk

12-oz jar $22

The Story: Andrea wanted a soothing, nourishing bath milk for her skin, so we created this for her. Milk proteins soften the skin, and salts detoxify the body and relax the muscles. Now, her toddler son refers to it as "Tricia Bath." So sweet!

The Ingredients: Epsom salts, organic goat's milk powder, sea salts, and essential oil.

Relax: Lavender (with optional lavender flowers)

Uplift: Peppermint

The best part for me about the Leafyhead products is their versatility.  The Boobie Balm doubles as a great lip balm, the Peppermint Foot Cream is also great on your hands.  And all is gentle enough for me to also use on my babies."
