 When we went to Our first Gift Show more than a Year and a Half ago, there were many things that we wanted to carry in Passiflora. It would have been wonderful to have the Space to fit all of the things that we Love under one roof. Someday! Love, Lotus Beauty was one of those Products we just had to have! Unfortunately, when we got Home and sorted through the hundreds of Catalogs that we had collected, we had to make some tough choices. It was sad for us to have to wait for some of the things that we loved! 
It only got more difficult the second and third show because in order to get something new, we had to let go of some of the things that had gotten us to where we are and that we had grown attached to. Well, finally we have made room for a line that we adore and that we think has been missing from our shop. You will be hooked on this amazing product and the Love and Purpose behind it. It's not very often that we make a purchase that makes us feel good and look beautiful and yet, is dedicated to celebrating inner peace and beauty with a desire to initiate positive change in the world.
All of their products are handmade in small batches, using the most pure and exotic oils, herbs, botanicals and spices. Inspired by the motherland of the Holy Cow, our products are 100% vegan and never tested on animals.
Lotus, Love Beauty is brought to you by The Shanti Project, a grassroots cooperative dedicated to celebrating inner peace and beauty with a desire to initiate positive change in the world. A portion of each Lotus Love Beauty product sold supports The Shanti Project.
Love, Lotus Beauty gives back to the global community by sharing a portion of the profits and offering their customers the opportunity to feel good about their purchase. By being more collectively conscious: aware of our
thoughts, words, actions and energies—we can make a difference. So go ahead... accentuate your inner beauty!
 Blue Q was the name Mitch and Seth made up for their lighting company in 1988. Yep. Lighting. Seth says, "We were headed to the annual world's largest lighting show in Milan and we needed business cards." Blue Q was hatched in a few minutes.
We never made lights, we made cardboard cats. So....that's it! "Blue Q" means nothing! Turned out to be a good thing considering all the products we have made and sold over the years.
Everything is made very Carefully and thoughtfully. And with the VERY BEST QUALITY
(you'll notice that sentiment is on everything we make). Look, we all know that there is an unethical way to manufacture a water bottle, to sew a bag. We don't do that. We couldn't. We have a beautiful and long history with manufacturing our goods the right way.
So if you ever had any questions about our factory standards overseas, environmentally responsible manufacturing, the way we look at employees, labor practices and wages you can rest assured that it is the Very Best Quality. We don't compromise when manufacturing something that is affordable and desirable. We just want you to be happy. We do everything for you.
Yes.
You!

Why use that fake evil corporate soap "stuff" when our real handmade olive oil soap feels so good? Literally bursting with freshness, ultra moisturizing and mild, scented with real essential oils the way Mother Nature intended. Featuring cold pressed olive oil, wild and organic herbs, only safe natural ingredients and sustainable business practices ... we make it easy to be clean & green! 
Passionflower relieves anxiety as it calms frayed nerves, while organic oat flour soothes and softens your skin. A relaxing ylang ylang essential oil blend completes the spell. 
Wild Weeds Soap is filled with soothing cucumber essential oil, organic aloe vera, French green clay, and skin-loving wild chickweed & plantain. . . used for centuries to treat all sorts of skin problems. The fresh green scent is light and uplifting. Available in a body balm too! 
Scented with a fir needle essential oil blend and scattered with ground cedarwood, this scrubby textured bar is sure to please the outdoor lover with its fresh forest scent. Some consider this a guy soap, but plenty of women love it too!
 Exfoliating wild mesquite bean meal and skin soothing oatmeal enrich this scrubby tan bar scented with a warm and earthy patchouli essential oil blend. Our mesquite beans are sustainably harvested in rural areas of Mexico where economic options are few, pairing the conservation of native mesquite woodlands with economic prosperity for the locals. Experience you can trust.
This is a wild soap bar. We're absolutely positive you'll love our natural soap!!!
