4 out of 5 starsI like it, but my eyebrow hairs won't stay in place. Am I doing it wrong?

5 out of 5 starsThis very rich, thick cream for the hands is perfect for my very dry and overworked hands. Love it! It is absorbed quickly and the quantity seems generous. Shipped fast too! Thanks so much!

5 out of 5 starsThis is my first clear brow pomade that I ordered on a whim cause my Etsy credits were about to expire, and let me tell you, I'm in love. I was worried it'd be stiff or tacky or damaging, and it was literally everything but! My brows feel soft after application, and they aren't overly matte or shiny, very natural. The spool is also very soft, great quality. Defintely recommend for someone looking to try out a brow pomade!

5 out of 5 starsI like to use this at night--the scent is relaxing, and the lotion is not heavy or greasy.

To summarize. It's chaos.
About GlitterandGratitude
Always be present.
Glitter and Gratitude Apothecary was launched in September of 2015 after a battle with skin cancer. As a cosmetic chemist, I knew I needed to make changes so I left my job working with a local Italian brand and set out to start my own.
Each one of my products are 100% handmade, from scratch. Whenever I sit down to formulate I have a specific challenge I want to solve or a problem to fix. I blend each lotion, cream, balm, salve, and soap by hand filling, it with as much healing and meaningful goodness as possible.
I use only organic and nongmo butters and oils and as much locally sourced/grown/ and produced ingredients as possible and prefer to support other small handmade business to get my supplies.
I am a certified and licensed Aromatherapist with a background in Ayurveda and Herbalism, having worked with a master Herbalist in Southern Italy for three years. I have an extensive background in Endo and feminine health due to my unique struggles with the disease and have had comprehensive medical training in both the EU and UK and have a certificate in Cosmetic Chemistry.
I am fully licensed and insured and work out of a sterile studio lab!

Additional policies and FAQs
🍃🍃 Please note! Your candle will come to you freshly poured! Because it's soy wax, it needs to cure, so the longer you wait to light it, the stronger it will be!
🍃🍃 I use small batch, locally harvested or wild harvested essential oils, never a mass produced wholesale oil. My infusions are blended and let to steep two moon cycles or more.
🍃🍃 My hand creams will never contain artificial fragrance! They are packed only with the most beneficial ingredients possible. I use only eco-cert emulsifiers and thickeners and nothing animal derived.
🍃🍃 My soaps are lightly scented, nothing overwhelming. Their focus is, again, the amazing ingredients they're made with! They are never made with lard or any other animal fats or oils. Please be aware! The weight on my cold process soaps is approximate. They will continue to cure until they are used. The curing process is the water evaporating from the bar, so over time, they will become lighter and smaller, but not drastically.
🍃🍃 My shave bars are mild and irritant free and designed to give you the best shave imaginable. Once you've used a shave bar, you will not want to go back to canned foams. They are made with local ethically sourced lanolin, right from my local shepherd. The are formulated to give your legs a moisturizing close safe shave.
🍃🍃 I formulate all my skin care/facial products with the most sensitive skin in mind and never include artificial fragrances or comedogenic ingredients.
🍃🍃 All products are made in a sterile studio and I do use latex free gloves and a mask whenever I formulate, cut, wrap, and package items.
🍃🍃 I am a cosmetic chemist as well as a certified and licensed aromatherapist with a background in Ayurveda. I studied with an herbalist in Southern Italy for several years.
I am also a member of the Handcrafted Soap & Cosmetic Guild. I am fully licensed and insured.

➡ PLEASE NOTE: Some skin may be sensitive to essential oils, no matter how mild they are! Please do a patch test before you use the product if you have any concerns or a history of sensitive skin.
➡ PLEASE NOTE: From time to time it me be required to substitute bottle shapes to fill new orders. Please note, this is a difference in SHAPE only, the actual volume and amount of product will be the same in the listing. I only order from one reputable supplier and they are sometimes out of stock on my more popular bottle shapes!

❌ I do not sell or offer samples. At this time it is cost prohibitive for me to source mini sized containers as it often costs more than a full sized jar. Thank you for understanding!
