About this Product
A creamy solid lotion butter bar, filled with nourishing butters and oils to make it super rich and moisturizing. As it touches the body, it gently melts on the skin. Rub it on your hands or anywhere that needs a little extra moisture. It is packaged in a small portable covered tin, which makes it very convenient to carry in a bag or for travel.
Organic, extra virgin coconut oil is the product of the freshly cut coconut; retaining the natural, fresh coconut scent. It contains antioxidants and is a fantastic moisturizer. Mango butter is obtained from the fruit kernels of the mango tree and has been traditionally used for its skin-softening, moisturizing, soothing, and protective properties. Mango butter is reported to offer much moisturizing and softening of the skin.
The wonderful, yet gentle scent of this lotion bar comes from the natural, certified organic, extra-virgin coconut oil along with the natural lime essential oil.
A small amount of arrowroot powder is added to enhance the feel of the lotion bar.
And of course, no artificial ingredients are used in any of my natural herbal products.
My solid lotion bar is made to melt at skin temperature. It should be kept in a cool place when not in use. If melting should occur, no problem! Just put in refrigerator until it solidifies.
Ingredients: Organic cocos nucifera (Coconut) oil, mangifera indica (Mango Butter) seed oil, organic Cera alba (Beeswax), Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) oil, Arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea) powder, Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

Meet the Maker
Welcome and thank you for visiting my shop. My name is Gabrielle and I live in South Louisiana. In 2014 my husband and I built a new home with a special room called my soap room. Most of my day is spent here making my herbal salves and soaps. My daughter helps be package and ship my products to my customers. Other family members help me by saving their packaging materials which I happily recycle in my shipping boxes. Sometimes my grandchildren and great grandchildren help me by harvesting some of the herbs in my gardens which are used in my products.
This is a story which I would like to share: [With a love for God and nature, plus a fascination with herbs. and a desire to create natural herbal soap I began my dream. My husband, Herb, and I loved gardening and nature and started a pecan orchard and small herb nursery which we called Gabrielle Acres Farm.
In 2004, my husband, Herb, and I were vendors at our local farmer’s market when a customer lost control of her car and crashed into me as we sat at our booth. Years of quiet time and rehabilitation became a life-changing experience. Soapmaking would now become a reality. In 2008, I opened my Herbfriend's shop on Etsy!
After that experience I had time to rethink my life. One of my dreams was to make handmade soap and to learn more about the herbs that I loved, those growing in my garden and those growing around in our natural environments. I had put those things on the "back burner" as I went along keeping busy each day; hoping, one day, to find time to do it.
My husband, Herb, and four grown children, plus seventeen grandchildren are now wanting to use my products for their families. It is a nice complement and I love doing this. It is so much fun doing something that I enjoy and something that I had dreamed of doing. Now I make time for those special things!
All of my products are made using natural ingredients, many are wild-crafted or certified organic. No artificial colors or scents are used in my body products, only natural oils, butters, herbs and essential oils.
(It is with a heavy heart that I let my customers know that I lost my husband, Herb, in 2017. I give thanks for our little herb business (Gabrielle Acres) which helps give me the desire to get up each morning, I know Herb is watching me and smiling as I continue what we began together.)]
Shop Policies
As the seasons change, my gardens rest and then begin to flourish. Each season, some of are resting, but other herbs begin to grow lavishly. I enjoy God’s gifts and continue to grow, harvest, and prepare those herbs for my salves, balms and soaps. Sometimes, some of my salves temporarily sell out, but I continually work to harvest and prepare more. My products are all hand made by me.
My processing time is usually between 1 to 3 days.
