Skin Products Made On The Farm 34-1-7 Farmer Brown's All-Natural Solid Lotion Bar prevents "Chicken Lady" Barb Miller from getting chapped dry skin. The entrepreneur has added the lotion bar to the soaps and toiletry products she makes and sells from her Westfield, Penn., farm business, Miller's Homemade Soaps.
Miller knows personally the importance of caring for skin. She used to grow vegetables for farmers markets, and she and her husband raise chickens on 90 acres of pasture. She made lotion bars a few years ago when she kept bees and wanted to do something with the beeswax. She initially gave the bars as gifts, and then decided to add them to her growing soap business.
"The lotion bars are all natural with no artificial ingredients," Miller says. "If people have skin conditions, they can be sensitive to fragrances. By not having any fragrances, they don't have to worry about having some kind of adverse reaction."
The lotion bars contain beeswax to soothe and protect; jojoba oil, which mimics skin's natural oil and penetrates deeply; and Shea, rich, buttery oil, which has been used for skin care for thousands of years.
To make application convenient, Miller molds her bars in deodorant-style tubes. She recommends putting on regular lotion, then rubbing on Farmer Brown's solid lotion to seal in the moisture. Customers have told her they used it to relieve sunburn pain. Health care workers, who wash their hands frequently, use it to prevent chapping. Skiers rub it on their face before hitting the slopes. People with psoriasis and other skin conditions report relief from the lotion.
Use a lotion bar for everything from chapped heels, to dry hands and skin from working in the garden, doing chores or any other outdoor activity.
She sells her soap products through her website.
