Whimsical Wonderful Wares

🌱
Consider keeping a tin of the The Wanderer's All-Purpose Salve in your bag to keep your skin healthy during your adventures! This thick, creamy and heavy-duty body butter tackles discomfort and damage from eczema/psoriasis/rosacea patches, bug bites, burns, cracking dry skin, scar tissue, irritated/healing/dry tattoos, and many others. It doesn’t take much, and soothes inflammation almost instantly!Base: Raw, organic & unrefined African Shea butter
Supporting oils: Organic & unrefined olive, avocado, jojoba & evening primrose🌿Another excellent addition for a seasoned traveller, the Green Man's Balm is surprisingly versatile- not only does it help restore nutrients to dry and splitting hairs (beard or otherwise!), it also functions marvellously as an after-sun balm (when you've had too much exposure) and as relief for chafing in delicate areas.Base: Raw, organic & unrefined African Shea butter + cold-pressed, unrefined coconut oil
Supporting ingredients: Organic & unrefined olive, avocado, hemp seed, argan & tamanu oils, organic cocoa butter🫧Keep on washing your hands! 👏 If you aren't as often as you would like because of how dry it makes your skin, lather up with some usable art: Carnival Soaps are vegetable glycerin that has been shaped into all manner of fancy shapes to give that little extra accent to your washroom! Made with no preservatives and infused with raw, unrefined, food-grade butters and oils, only the good stuff will be rubbed into your skin when you decide the time is finally right to use it.Base: Vegetable glycerin (for holding fun shapes!)
Supporting Ingredients (vary by soap type): Organic & unrefined Shea, cocoa & mango butters, organic & unrefined olive, avocado, jojoba, coconut, flax, hemp, tamanu, argan & evening primrose oils, organic coconut milk powder, organic wormwood extract, organic activated charcoal🪴If your own stank has you down in the pits, slather this special mud on yours - no, really! Try a pot of the Wanderer's Mud; more commonly recognised as deodorant, a pea-sized dollop rubbed under each arm will help wick moisture accumulation and mute body odour, without actually clogging your pores to do so. Choose from the Scent Library to accent it with- or reach out on social media to build your own palette- and let the mud do the rest, whether you are a professional cosplayer at a convention in Texas during the summer, or a renaissance faire performer out in the sun for several weekends in a row, or a general contractor working in rain, sleet or shine.
If those examples seem specific...well, they are!
Cheers for your awesome feedback, sweet creatures 💛Base: Raw, organic African Shea butter & organic, cold-pressed coconut oil
Supporting ingredients: Organic, cold-pressed tamanu oil, organic, food-grade cocoa powder

A Bit on Wisp's Ethics

Everything is handmade individually by one pair of loving hands, meaning nothing is ever produced in large batches and every ingredient is customisable. I do this because, even though it takes a bit more time and effort, I know how unique everyone's body is and I want to be able to offer something to all sorts of folks, from all walks of life.♻️
Salve + balm tins and deodorant pots are fully recyclable and reusable (or you can mail me back your empty vessel and I will refill it - more on that here), and soaps are wrapped in a combination of banana leaves and upcycled kraft paper, which can be composted or recycled and will fully biodegrade. Even the poly mailers used for shipping online orders are made out of compostable material, and can be reused.
♻️I want to reconnect people with the ability to appreciate beautiful things, while acknowledging they will be gone one day. Modern society seems at once obsessed with preservation and instant gratification simultaneously— nothing is cherished because everything can be replaced, yet if replacement is not guaranteed things are hoarded until their original purpose has passed.Drink that special tea before it goes stale. Use that fancy soap before it gets old.
Love what you have while you have it, and for what it is.
💚

Thank you so much for pursuing this avenue!

💌

The Apothecary deals in the temporary. Everything will one day be used down to nothing- and what won't, can be reused many, many times!

Here's how you can take part:

♻️

1. Reach out to the Wisp via the Contact form or social media (Instagram/Facebook) and say you are interested in a refill. Please notate the following:
1. How many vessels and of what type (balm/salve, deodorant) you would like refilled
2. If you plan to use a box or a poly mailer (this is necessary to generate the label)2. You will be provided a shipping label to print for mailing your empty vessel back to the Apothecary, and a discount code for your next order - which must, of course, contain the refill of your choosing. It can be the same scent, another chosen from the Scent Library, none at all, or one entirely of your own making using notes from the Library's array of choices!⚠️
Open mailers from Petrichorum carefully, using the perforation at the top! They are made of biodegradable material and have two seals, meaning they are resealable. If you use the mailer sent to you for mailing back your empty pot or tin, it will be composted on the Quimsy homestead, ensuring there truly is nothing that goes to waste.

That's it! Thank you, once more, for helping make a difference, one small gesture at a time 💚

✨ Blended individually each time, so you always get a unique, one-of-a-kind palette ✨

Interested in blending your own with the myriad individual notes in any of these premade palettes? Just reach out to me on social media, fill out the Contact form, or find me at a pop-up market and ask me about it! I will be delighted to hear from you, and look forward to working with you to concoct a palette that is uniquely yours 💛
