Usage instructions for Grandma Heather's products

I thought it might be helpful to provide a simple list detailing the normal use for the products I make and sell.

Unfortunately, when I tried to upload an easy word doc, it did not work, so all the instructions are listed below:

ALL PRODUCTS ARE FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY!!! IF IRRITATION OCCURS DISCONTINUE USE!

Consult physician before use if pregnant or have an underlying medical condition.

Usage instructions:

Soap:

Wet, lather, wash, rinse - use hands, washcloth or whatever means you prefer.

Keep dry between uses to prolong life of bar.

Important: Avoid contact with your eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.

Shampoo bars:

Wet hair, take shampoo bar and rub on hair a couple times (top and length if longer hair), put bar down, lather. If more lather is desired, rub bar on hair a few more times. Rinse, repeat as needed.

Keep bar dry between uses to prolong the life of the bar.

Important: Avoid contact with your eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.

Conditioner bars:

After shampooing, take conditioner bar, rub bar on areas of hair where conditioning is desired. You will notice the soft, silky feeling as the bar is coating the hair. At that point, put the bar down. Rub into hair, let sit a couple minutes, rinse.

Keep bar dry between uses to prolong the life of the bar.

Important: Avoid contact with your eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.

Foaming Body Wash:

Take a small amount and rub all over hands or wherever you want to clean/moisturize. Rinse. Alternately, use a pouf. You will get amazing luxurious bubbles! Make sure to keep covered and try to keep water out of container.

A small amount goes a long way! I use a small plastic spoon to remove the whipped soap from the container. This is another way to help keep water out of the container.

Important: Avoid contact with your eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.

Use caution, product could make tub floor slippery!

Sugar Scrubs/ Jojoba Bead Scrubs:

While washing, take a small amount and rub all over hands/legs/elbows or wherever you want to clean/moisturize/exfoliate. Rub in and rinse. Make sure to keep covered and try to keep water out of container.

Important: Avoid contact with your eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.

Emulsified Body Butters:

Use a spatula, small spoon, or clean, dry fingers to scoop out a small amount of body butter. Gently massage the butter onto your skin, focusing on dry areas or spots needing extra care. For best results, apply immediately after a shower or bath when your skin is still damp (but not wet). This helps lock in moisture. Wipe hands on a towel as needed after application.

Important: Avoid contact with your eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.

Arnica Magnesium Menthol Lotion:

This lotion combines the goodness of natural ingredients to provide soothing relief and relaxation.

Apply a Small Amount: Scoop a small amount of the lotion using clean fingers or a spatula.

Target Areas: Gently massage the balm onto desired areas such as:

• Sore muscles

• Stiff joints

• Tired feet

• Tension spots (e.g., neck, shoulders)

Massage In: Use circular motions to massage the lotion into your skin until fully absorbed.

But remember, while arnica, magnesium and menthol offer incredible benefits, it's important to prioritize safety. Always perform a patch test before using any new product, especially if you have sensitive skin. Additionally, consult with a healthcare professional if you're pregnant, nursing, or have any medical concerns.

Shower Steamers: Prepare shower as usual. Enter shower. Be careful, shower floor can be slippery.

If you stand with your back to the showerhead, place steamer on the floor of the shower in the area between your feet so that it is not in the direct stream of water, but is still getting hit with water regularly.

If you stand facing the showerhead, place the steamer somewhere near you on the floor, again, where it is not in the direct stream of water, but is still getting hit with water regularly. Alternately, use organza or mesh bag and hang steamer on the shower wall, shower head or other location somewhat close to your head. Spray with water regularly to activate. Enjoy the refreshing scent.

Each steamer can yield two showers if desired. When steamer is about halfway melted, hang the bag outside of the stream of water. It will stop activating and you can use it again next shower.

Balm note: If any of the balms are overheated and melt or start to melt, you can put them in the fridge and they will solidify. This will not hurt them. Try to keep them upright if you think you will have them somewhere where they might melt to avoid leakage.

Puppy Paw Paste:

Rub into pups paws well as product is greasy for dry or cracked paw pads. In winter apply liberally just before heading out for a walk. This helps to stop snow build up on paws/fur.

Beard Balm:

Check out instructions on my blog

Tattoo Balm:

Follow instructions provided by your Tattoo Artist and apply to newly created art or to already existing art for extra moisturizing and revitalization.

Lip Butter/Balm:

Apply to lips as needed

Bath Bombs/Bath Shooter

Unwrap/un-package product. Place in tub while water is running. For Bath Shooter, pour contents of cup into tub while water is running, use some or all. Save solid sugar scrub that is on top for use to gently exfoliate at the end of the bath.

Use caution, product could make tub floor slippery. NOT FOR USE ON CHILDREN UNDER 2 OR WHILE PREGNANT! Sugar scrub is for adult use.

Caution – Use only as directed. Excessive use or prolonged exposure may cause irritation to skin and urinary tract. Discontinue use if rash, redness, or itching occurs. Consult your physician if irritation persists. Keep out of reach of children except under adult supervision.

Lotion bars:

If desired, rub bar between hands to soften. Rub lotion on areas to be moisturized. Alternately, use a small cosmetic spatula to scrape off a little and apply where you desire lotion. Rub in. Use sparingly, a little goes a long way!

Keep bar in a cool location. If bar gets hot and starts to melt, place in fridge.

ALL PRODUCTS ARE FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY!!! IF IRRITATION OCCURS DISCONTINUE USE!

Consult physician before use if pregnant or have an underlying medical condition.

Enjoy! :-)
