Spring has sprung down in the south and that means allergies are kicking. While traditional medications work most of the time, we can’t spend the day in a hazy fog. Not that we prefer sneezing, crying, or not breathing through our noses. What’s a team to do? Go natural. Some natural alternatives work quickly and others need time. All work fairly well for us.
Local honey is a tried and true alternative. Why local? Because the pollen the bees use come from the flowers native to our location. A little honey every day helps one build resistance to the pollen and the allergies that come with it. Our allergies are less severe as a result, and we get to have a little honey ...
This Winter has been something else, eh? And if you have dry skin, it’s been murder. Caregivers, cooks, and any others who wash his or her hands frequently are feeling the pain as well. Sometimes regular lotion isn’t enough and heavy creams may be too much during the work hours. Enter Blue Angel, a goat’s milk lotion inspired by nurses and mean for anyone dealing with dry, cracked damaged skin.
This hand lotion formula was inspired by the nurses at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. These angels work hard to help patients through every stage of the healing process. They wash their hands dozens of times a day and then some, which strips away moisture. &...
As 2012 came to a close, my wife and I looked back at the year Noir Naturals had. I could not be happier. Noir Naturals continues to grow and I owe it all to you, our customers, fans, followers and well wishers. As you know my health was a challenge last year, but thanks to the great team of folks that I work with, we were able to keep things moving forward. To all the folks that make Noir Naturals run well everyday, I thank you for all your contributions and dedication!

Did you know that soaps are not created equal? Some soap is not really soap.
When you buy Noir Naturals‘ soap, you get real, old school soap. We use the cold process method. That means we take time to mix oils, lye, and goat’s milk or coconut milk until the mix is almost ready, then add fragrance, natural colorants, and any additional ingredients to help soften and soothe the skin. When you buy a soap made from a melt and pour soap base, you’re buying soap made from glycerin that’s removed from commercially processed soap, a byproduct. While it is natural, it’s a little scary.
Glycerin occurs naturally during the soapmaking process. In natural soaps...
We love coconuts, coconut milk, and coconut oil. Once upon a time, coconut oil was lumped in with other saturated fats and deemed bad for us, but is now the darling of Paleo/Primal enthusiasts, vegans, and anyone else moving toward a cleaner, more natural life. Coconut oil has multiple benefits when taken internally. As an ingredient in snacks, meals, or drinks, its properties cover many bases. Coconut oil's medium chain fatty acids are anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and said to fight cancer, digestive issues, various infections, stress, and migraines. This powerhouse is also reported to aid in weight loss. A member of the Noir Naturals family is a huge coconut oil ...
Do you love berries? We do and we celebrate National Berry Month every August with gusto. We're eating berries straight up, in smoothies, lemonade, dessert, and including them in our goat's milk soap and lotion.
Sorry, kids. We know this is not what you want to hear or even think about, but you know school is close.
Parents, we know this may not be what you want to think about, either. If for any reason, the kids may not be feeling it or ready. So what do we do? We shop and prepare, but trying to make the new school year exciting for the kiddos isn't always easy. Try to make it fun for them. Turn shopping into a game and prepare surprises for them along the way.
College students are not the only ones who'll appreciate care packages. Put together a few and deliver them at different times throughout the year. Send them through the mail or just place the box or bag in ...
We love summer – the relaxing vibe, the fun and fab events, and the down time. What we don’t love is the excessive heat and its effect on our skin. But no matter the temperature, Noir Naturals has products that will soothe and pamper our skin. Yes, we said our. We are customers as well as manufacturers.
According to Denise Mann, summer skin needs exfoliation, moisture, and protection. Skin will not glow unless the dead cells are moved out of the way, so a good but gentle scrub is a must. Use a brush before or during a shower to help bring on a healthy glow or use our Dead Sea Salt Body Scrub to help bring on that healthy glow. ...
