HAPPY "SUDS"

Suds in a Bucket is probably the happiest natural skin care line we've covered. Why? Well, even the name makes you smile. The striped colorful packaging is very appealing, kind of old fashioned and happy. The scents, like Pear Blossom, Juicy Orange, Sweet Vanilla, Honey & Milk and Lavender Fields (all the ones we tried) are to die for...reminded us of happy childhood indulgences, like vanilla ice cream cones and Dreamsicles. But the happiest part is how the scrubs, lotions and body butters feel and work on your skin...

In keeping with the old fashioned theme, all of the Suds in a Bucket products are hand crafted in small batches of all natural ingredients. How about pureed watermelon, pureed banana, and extracts of pink grapefruit and oranges in the Funky Fruit collection. Or, fresh vanilla beans, pureed pumpkin, ground cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger in the Back Home Collection (to remind you of mom baking in the kitchen)...yummy! For flower lovers, there's the Flirty Floral collection, which uses floral essences, extracts and essential oils.

The scrubs are gentle and, true to the name, suds up a little and leave your skin feeling soft. Body lotions are light to slather all over and the body butters are great for those really dry places. The butters, made from whipped Raw African Shea Butter, are very rich and a little goes a long way!

All Suds in a Bucket products are free of chemicals, SLS, petroleum, mineral oil, synthetic fragrances, filler, additives, dyes and chemical preservatives. The company even uses real fruits and vegetables to color the products, like blueberry skins to get the purple color in Lavender Fields.

So, what are you waiting for! I'm slathering on my Juicy Orange body lotion as we speak! It's like a Dreamsicle for my skin...without the calories!
