Let's hear what Marissa had to say about her shop...
Why did you decide to start Precious Skin Elixirs?
I started my shop after years of making my own skincare products and realizing there is a growing need for 100% natural, preservative free skincare solutions.
What does your shop name, Precious Skin Elixirs, means to you?
I worked with precious and semiprecious gemstones for years - many of my products bear the name of my favorite gems. I believe the skin is extremely precious. It's an organ, after all, and deserves much more respect than we give it by slathering on products with ingredients we can't pronounce and certainly would never put in our bodies!
How are you inspired to create your products?
Inspiration for my products comes from various sources. Maybe a friend is having a particular skin issue and so I start thinking of oils and herbs that would be helpful. That's actually how the "Garnet" honey scrub was created. Nature is a constant source of inspiration. There are so many solutions in nature - nothing we need to chemically alter or synthesize. The gift of well being is all around us...and that's pretty cool.
It's difficult to choose a favorite product, but my life saver is the 24 karat gold cream. I live in New England and winter is so harsh on the skin! Even my little ones avoided chapped faces and hands with this cream!
What is your favorite part about running an Etsy shop?
My favorite part is fulfilling an order - from making the products to packaging it up in pretty wrapping. I imagine sending out healing and love to my customers. I try to do everything this way - with love, gratitude, and intention.
What is the biggest lesson you have learned from starting your shop?
Patience and trusting that if I create with honesty and integrity that the buyers will come and share my vision of supporting one's health through the use of natural products And I mean ALL natural - not just the "97% natural" we sometimes see on the popular brands.
In speaking with Marissa, it is clear that she pours her heart and soul into her products. Precious Skin Elixers has a wonderful selection of items for all people. I especially love that the shop offers trial or travel sizes!
