Welcome back to the new Ablutions Spa site!  As I mentioned before the hiatus, we had a little nip and tuck done.  We are so excited to be back, especially since we have a fabulous new ritual collection debuting.

First, the bad news... we had to say goodbye to a few old friends.  The following products are no longer available on the website...
              -Organic Lip Butters in Chocolate Raspberry and Spearmint
              -Coconut Vanilla collection including soap, body polish and organic body butter
              -Nirvana collection including soap, body polish and organic body butter
              -Organic Dog Soap
              -Tahitian Berry AHA Body Polish
However, if you can't live without one of these items, they are available by special order in bulk so contact us if you would like to place a special order.  Please keep in mind that special orders for soap won't ship until 4-5 weeks after the order is placed.

The great news...
Introducing our newest ritual, Madagascar Lime & Ginger!  It's a lush blend of fresh Madagascar ginger, lime and sweet orange essential oils.  This new favorite scent is available in our artisan soap cakes, oatmeal body wash, organic sugar scrub, organic body butter, oatmeal body cream, foaming coconut milk bath and antioxidant lotion mist.  See the whole collection here.

I'm also delighted to announce several new items.
              -Sweetmint Organic Lip Butter... mint and vanilla!
              -Organic Pomegranate Silky Serum
              -Rosehips & Oatmeal Soothing Antioxidant Face Masque
              -Oatmeal Body Cream... luscious, silky  and long-lasting moisture, available in all 6 ritual scents

Some products have been updated...
              -Cranberry & Licorice Foaming Cleanser is very similar to Citrus Coconut Milk Foaming Cleanser but we've added skin brightening extracts of cranberry and licorice.
              -Red Raspberry Seed Serum has been renamed and is now Red Raspberry Seed Lotion but the much-loved formula is still the same.
              -Cleansing Bars have been updated as Artisan Soap Cakes, featuring fair trade, organic shea butter and are available in all 6 ritual scents.
              -Foaming Shower Crème has been updated to include ultra soothing oatmeal, thus the brilliantly creative name, Oatmeal Body Wash. 
              -Our popular body polishes have been 'greened' and are now Organic Sugar Scrubs!  The formula feels the same as before but now features organic cane sugar, organic sunflower oil and in some scents, organic herbs.
              -Bath soaks have been updated and are now available in all 6 scents.

Please note that we've renamed two of our scents- Mexican Chocolate is now Mayan Cacao and Sea Goddess is now Aegean Mint so tough guys can now buy their favorite mint/patchouli blend without feeling embarrassed about the name.

You can now shop by category!  On our shop page, you'll see links to a page that features organics, another for preservative-free items or click on rituals to shop by scent.

I want to thank you for your patience while these changes were happening.  As with most big changes, it took longer than anticipated.  As a sincere thanks, we're including a 2oz Madagascar Lime & Ginger Oatmeal Body Cream and a deluxe sample of Organic Pomegranate Silky Serum with every order through February.  They won't show up in the shopping cart but will be tucked in your package, eager to soothe and smooth you from forehead to toe.

With gratitude,

Monica & Ablutions Spa
