Keeping Your Skin
in Harmony
& Walking in Beauty
with Native Inspired Bath and Body Care
Owner Victoria White Eagle Noorlander
is a 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 , all vegetable tallow ingredients and does not
test her products on animals.
For those of us who have sensitive or damaged 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.
