After years of requests from customers, SoyLites are re-launching their innovative and handy moisturising product, the Aroma Butter Bar. Previously called a Soy Body Bar, the name change to an Aroma Butter Bar intends to better capture the functionality of the product, reflect improvements made to the formulations and also avoid some confusion. Some customers previously thought the product was a bar of soap, which it is not.

An Aroma Butter Bar is a handy way to nourish your skin. It is a solid, dry lotion bar made with fresh botanical oils and created to be a handy and versatile hand and body moisturising product. Formulated to respond to the temperature of your skin, the butter bar has a novel application quality that will nourish and smooth your skin, without leaving messy and greasy residues. With a unique combination of unrefined coco butter, shea butter and soy wax, and blended with aromatherapy oils for a fragrant experience, the Aroma Butter Bar not only feels delightful on your skin, but also delivers effective and immediate results.

To use, simply hold the butter bar in both hands and begin to rub. The bar will respond to the temperature of your skin and begin to slowly melt, leaving a film of nourishing oil on your hands. Once you have transferred enough oil onto your hands, replace the bar into its metal container to maintain freshness. Gently rub the moisturising botanicals into your hands or anywhere on your body where nourishment is required.

The new version of these hand-crafted innovation come with some improvements and a few little extra surprises. There are 5 variants currently being launched:

• Calm Life – As the name implies, a combination of Jojoba, Pomelo and Cucumber ensures a gentle, relaxing and soothing experience.
• Sweet Florals – With Rosehip, Frangipani, Ylang Ylang and Jasmine, this blend offers a restorative, uplifting and deeply satisfying hug for your skin.
• Good Morning! – Start your day with this delicious combination of Creamy Vanilla, Sweet Orange and real coffee beans imbedded in the bar. The coffee beans will omit their fragrance when you rub the bar on your skin, and together with the vanilla and orange, your skin will be off to a nourishing and revived start to the day.
• Spice Up Your Life – This is an energizing and stimulating blend of Peppermint oil, Cinnamon and Menthol. You might feel a tingle on your skin once applied as the stimulating effect occurs. With real soy beans imbedded in the bar, a gentle massaging effect makes this bar perfect for those who need a little warmth on their skin.
• Hemp Re-leaf – A slightly more masculine blend, the Hemp Re-leaf bar will not clog your pores and is packed with anti-oxidants and omega fats (which the skin needs). The effective skin protecting qualities of Cannabis Hemp Seed oil are well documented, and combined with Neroli oil and an oriental favourite, Oud, this bar is truly unique.

 "Something remarkable is worth talking about. Worth noticing. Exceptional. New. Interesting. Purple Cow. Boring stuff is invisible. It is a brown cow." - Seth Godin, Purple Cow, 2002.

Its been 7 years now since we launched our company and our body candles are still in many ways, as Seth Godin calls it, a Purple Cow: exceptional and worth noticing. Certainly they are new to anyone who has not yet had the pleasure of experiencing them...

We always get interesting reactions from people who experience our soy body candles for the first time. "Dip my finger into the warm oil pool and apply to my skin? No way!" It seems counter intuitive to dip your finger into melted wax and naturally people are slightly hesitant at first. You have probably tried this with regular paraffin candles when you were a kid, only to be reprimanded by your parents for doing so (if you got caught). But SoyLites candles are unlike regular candles...

What makes SoyLites candles exceptional and worth noticing? Regular paraffin candles melt at a high temperature (72 degrees celcius) whereas SoyLites candles are 100% natural and melt at 39 degrees, only 2 degrees above body temperature, making the melted soy oil warm to the touch. Full of vitamin E, the warm oil is easily absorbed int the skin. I love seeing the delight in peoples' faces when they first apply the warm, melted oil onto their skin. The conventional perception of a candle gets broken in that moment. No sharp burning sensation and no hardening of the wax onto their skin. Then, often with glee, they rub the soy oil into their skin and immediately experience the warm, soft, moisturising benefits. Oo's and aa's are common responses and the gorgeous aromatic infusions in our candles leave your skin smelling beautiful too.

It's not only humans that love our products. One of our customers uses our soy candles to treat a scar from an injury their horse sustained. Another customer uses the soy oil from the candle to treat her dog Teddy's eczema. Our mid-wife's dog once knocked over a candle and gobbled up a piece that had broken off (fortunately pooch did not swallow any glass) with no adverse effects. Of course we do not endorse eating our products but if you were stuck on an island with no light, no moisturiser, no perfume and no food, a SoyLites candle would be a better companion than any other candle!

The pleasure people receive from using SoyLites soy candles is what keeps us passionate about what we do. We have hundreds of testimonials from customers who tell us why they love our products. With so many different benefits, SoyLites candles are truly versatile. Knowing that we are in some way, even in small ways, making a difference and enhancing peoples lives by engaging their senses, is all the motivation we need to keep innovating, creating and tending to our purple cows.
