Hello, I'm the Caffinated Kitten and I have ultra sensitive skin. Dyes and perfumes can cause very uncomfortable rashes in painful places and normally the only shelf products I can use are too expensive to keep using. For a long time I thought it was just my fate to balance the itch with sporadic stretches of comfort. I was soo incredibly wrong. With the help of my bestest friend ever, Google, I found myriad recipes for making what I needed right in my kitchen with items that wouldn't annoy my very persnickety skin. Imagine my relief!
As I read them I realized they called for all kinds of essential oils for the scents. Let's face it, good ones aren't cheap. So I took the recipes, headed to the kitchen and began experimenting. Thus far I have 2 perfected scrubs and am working on more.
My favorite is the Lemon sugar scrub. I love the scent of fresh squeezed lemon and the rind & juice contain many things great for your skin. With the help of my handy dandy new food processor and a little common sense I now have a light lemony scrub that leaves my skin so soft that newborns wail in envy. It can be used from face to toes and, best of all I think, tastes exactly how it smells.
I am currently working out variations containing honey & chamomile as well as a lemon creme "flavor". Exfoliating has never been so tasty!
Eventually I will post a few of my recipes and hope to be able to organize selling the products themselves as I know there are many out there suffering with sensitive skin held hostage by top shelf prices.
If there is a "flavor" you like to see worked out into a lotion or scrub, let me know! I like a challenge :)

Keep it clean please, if you can't make your point without childish namecalling then you don't really have a point to make.
