Who would have guessed that a lowly calendula plant growing in a garden would lead to a thriving family business? That's the story behind the Buttercup & Jake line of natural skin care for kids.
Company owner, Patricia Butter was looking for something to soothe the itchy, dry skin that both she and her daughter Evie had developed. She discovered that the waxy resin from calendula flowers in her garden was just the ticket! Soon she created a whole line of skin care products adding only food-safe, natural ingredients like local honey, organic aloe vera, organic shea butter, organic cocoa butter and organic jojoba oil.
Products include:
A Soothing Skin Cream that manages to be super light, silky and rich all at the same time. I've been slathering it all over myself - even my face!
A Cocoa Calendula Balm that combines rich cocoa butter with soothing calendula and organic vanilla beans. Perfect for chapped winter cheeks and hands.
Golden Calendula Oil - a mixture of organic vegetable oil blended with calendula flowers, evening primrose oil, Vitamin E and soothing essential oils.
Yummy Lip Balms - made with jojoba oil, shea butter and cocoa butter (all organic of course!) and flavored naturally in Honey, Chocolate Mint and Strawberry.
Buttercup & Jake products are available in their webstore, at Abesmarket.com and select retail locations.
(Full disclosure: I received free samples of Buttercup & Jake products in exchange for my honest opinion.)
