Anti Itch Lotion Bars or Tubes

I’ve had my issues with itchy skin. You see it in my family, when we get a bug bite, we swell up. Often it’s the size of a dime, but sometimes it’s as large as a quarter just from a mosquito.

Years ago when I was pregnant with Sarah, I had a case of poison ivy. I couldn’t take anything because of the pregnancy, and by the time I delivered, it was all over my body. I’ve never been so miserable.

So last year I started to create one day, and I decided to make something for my itchy skin. When I was testing this bar, I took pictures of my swollen skin every 5 minutes to document how the bite disappeared. A half hour later I couldn’t even tell I had a bug bite, and for me that was amazing.

I sold quite a few last year, and then this summer it was fun to have people come up and ask about the bar instead of me begging everyone to try it. Then something crazy happened. I sold out! It was a Wednesday in Plymouth. When the market opened, I had a line of people waiting to buy my anti itch lotion bars!! It was crazy. I had a market the next day, so I went home and stayed up half the night making more. 100 more to be exact. I thought I’d have enough to last until the end of summer. But I was wrong. I’m running out again. Guys this amazes me. I’m so blown away. I can’t thank you all enough for supporting Sarah and I. We put our hearts into making these products, and it amazes us each time you tell us how this one lotion bar is helping your skin!!

Since I recently mowed down my basil to create the last batch of bars, I went to my favorite Trader Joes to buy some more plants. This week we will again make more of our anti itch bars!
