We love it when a local gal churns her passion and energy into something amazing. That’s the story with Hothouse Botanicals. Founder and Valley resident Stephanie Reynolds was inspired by her mom and aunt, both breast cancer survivers, to create a bath and body line free of potentially harmful preservatives, toxic ingredients and synthetic fragrances and colors. Her mission is underlined by a commitment to use sustainable ingredients and earth-friendly packaging. All Hothouse products are 100% vegan, not tested on animals and are packaged in recyclable containers. Plus, the company continually supports locals charity efforts including our own Summer Spaaah Series events. And we love that!
Here are a few Hothouse Botanicals that you must try (we insist!):
Bergamot/Ylang Ylang Whipped Sugar Scrub: This pure cane sugar treatment is a killer addition to your daily shower. Especially for us Arizona girls (and guys), this scrub makes even the flakiest of skin smooth and soft. Post shower, your skin will feel like you’ve already lathered up with lotion. Despite being sugar-based, this scrub doesn’t smell super sweet — it’s more of a fresh, herbal aroma. Also available in Bourbon Geranium, Lavandin/Litsea Cubeba and Vanilla/Lime aromas ($16).
Vanilla/Lime Body Butter: If you have seriously dry skin , this body butter will soothe and saturate it with hydration. It smells delish (so good that you might want to snack on it) and doesn’t leave an oily residue that creamy lotions frequently leave behind. The rich formulation is made with shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil and rose hip oil — a fantastic combo. Use this after the Whipped Sugar Scrub and your skin will feel seriously luscious. Also available in Mimosa, Bourbon Geranium, Lavandin/Litsea Cubeba and Bergamot/Ylang Ylang aromas ($20).
Cocoa/Lime Hemp Lip Balm: All lip balms are created equally, right? Well, not really! This is one lip quencher you might consider chomping on in a wave of hunger. No beeswax here, only vitamin-rich hemp seed butter and a healthy dose of organic coconut oil, organic cocoa butter and natural vitamin E ($3.99).
