Fat and the Moon

I picked up some of these handmade toiletries from New York recently. Fat and the Moon is the brain child of Rachel Budde who runs an organic farm in California where many of the ingredients are sourced.

I particularly like the tooth soap. You put a few drops on your toothbrush using the pippet then the anise and cloves do the business. Cloves are particularly good if you have toothache by the way. But unlike pure clove oil, this stuff tastes good.

The deodorant cream is also great. It contains coconut oil, black pepper, and grapefruit amongst other natural products. Smells fresh, light and natural. The cream can get a little hard in the winter, so maybe pop it on the radiator for a minute before applying.

Other products include lip balm, face oil and the rather ominous sounding 'wound powder'.

As you can see the packaging is very handsome. Looks like it might be lino or screen printed which is always nice.

Currently you'll need to order it online, but no doubt these products will be available in UK shops soon. Visit: http://fatandthemoon.com/
