Since the inception of Midwest Eco-Mercantile I knew I wanted to have thoughtfully curated themed boxes as a part of my business. I thought it could be a monthly subscription, I thought it could be a quarterly collection drop, I had a bunch of other ideas too. Truthfully, I still haven't committed to any one plan. In the meantime, I put together an exfoliating self-care experience for March. I curated the box using only Minnesota women-owned businesses. March is the month that makes us think of leprechauns and pots of gold. Using this as inspiration I made the jump from pot of gold to a pot of honey - and found some indulgent products containing golden honey and turmeric. Keep reading to see what we've all included.

The Goodery is run by Emily and Melissa, two busy moms who met through their kids' many activities. They believe that easy and convenient choices that allow families to make good choices and necessary and desired by their local community. Thanks to raw honey's antibacterial and antiseptic abilities, there mask may benefit oily and acne-prone skin. Turmeric helps to support brighter and more even skin tone. Camu camu contains more vitamin C than any other plant. Vetiver is well known for its use in skin cell regeneration. Cedarwood can help soothe irritation, inflammation, redness, and itchiness, as well as dryness. The generous size 4 oz mask comes in a glass jar with a metal lid, making it reusable or recyclable.
