During the research and development part of soap creation, AnnaKate Soaps seriously considers each and every additive we put in our soaps. From colors to scents to exfoliants, each addition to the soap is carefully planned.
One additive we particularly enjoy is Vitamin E oil, which is found in The Breakfast Bar and Massaloe. Vitamin E is found in many beauty products from soaps to lotions to hair products to body scrubs, do you've probably come across it before. Vitamin E oil is an anti-oxidant, meaning it helps stop oxidization of other molecules in the skin. Oxidization of molecules can lead to a buildup of free radicals, which can cause further damage to cells.
The four benefits that vitamin E oil gets the most attention for are anti-aging, sun protection, scar healing and moisturizing. During the summer months, using a soap with Vitamin E oil can really help prevent damage to your skin after a day in the sun. You can also use it to prevent sun damage before it happens. Some Vitamin E enthusiasts claim that adding some Vitamin E oil to sunscreen will help increase the sunscreen's effectiveness.
However you use it, or whatever you use it for, Vitamin E is a great treat for your skin!

Our last poll has closed and the results were pretty much what I was expecting for our market. The majority (66%) of respondents said all natural bath and body care products were slightly important in influencing their buying decisions. One-third of respondents said all natural products were not at all important to them. No one said all natural products were extremely important and no one was uninformed about what "all natural" meant (in the scope of this survey, at least). Thanks to everyone who participated in the poll! This information is really helpful to us and we really appreciate all your input!

Although most of us are use to buying aloe vera lotion in a bottle at the store, it is actually cultivated from a short stemmed succulent with thick, fleshy short leaves. When aloe vera leaves are cut, two different fluids with differing effects exude. One, a yellow, green sap containing aloin is an irritant, however, the transparent fluid exuded from the inner leaf is said to have soothing and healing properties. Aloe vera contains countless vitamins and minerals, enzymes, amino acids and agents which may be anti-inflammatory
and anti-microbial. Many beauty products including lotions, cremes, body washes and soaps are infused with aloe to assist in including these great benefits in your daily beauty routine, check out our Massaloe and Refresh Your Senses - they both are infused with aloe.
