Keeping Your Skin
in Harmony &
Walking In Beauty
with native inspired bath and
body care.
Made locally by Victoria White Eagle Noorlander,
Native herbalist, Reiki Usui and Karuna Teacher.
Victoria
uses her native training in sacred herbals to create a unique
line of soaps, alcohol free lotions, massage oils, soy candles
and healing salve. Victoria is known throughout Utah and Colorado
for her healing salve, made from locally grown piñon
pitch and other ingredients, gathered by her family in the
Moab area. It is
a remedy that has been used by Native Americans for hundreds
of years. The traditional way of making salve was to melt
the piñon pitch with bear fat. When the Diné
people started using sheep they would mix it with mutton fat
or Vaseline bought from the local trading post.
Today Victoria blends the pitch of native piñon trees
with coconut oil and soy oils to make this natural healing
salve more soothing to dry skin and so that it doesn’t
clog pores. Piñon pitch is best known for its ability
to accelerate cell regrowth and is effect in killing bacteria.
It helps to alleviate skin problems such as Eczema, Psoriasis,
Bruising, Cracked Heals and Cuticles, Sun Burn, Chapped Lips,
and neutralizes the poison from insect bites. You can also
use the salve on pets.
Victoria’s unique line of hand blended bath and body
care consists of Sage, Juniper and Sweet Grass as well as
some of the old time favorites such as Lavender, Vanilla,
Honey Almond and Fresh Garden Cucumbers. Victoria uses locally
harvested plants, essential oils and all vegetable tallow
ingredients.
For those of us who have sensitive skin her body care products
offer a more natural way to keep your skin balanced and youthful.
Victoria test her products herself to make sure they are gentle,
soothing and don’t clog pores. Moisturizing for the
driest of skin even in harsh desert climates like Moab, Utah.
Loving aromatherapy herself but sensitive to colognes and
perfume, Victoria tries to offer products that are more user
friendly and safer for homes and the environment. Victoria’s
hand poured soy candles are a natural alternative for those
of us who love to burn candles but worry about carbon fumes.
Natural wax alternatives help support American farming. and
contributes to the reduction of dependency of crude oil and
has less soot output than paraffin.
