Good Enough to Eat - Summer 2018
Take care of yourself inside and out this summer
We’re featuring some new finds along with a few long-time favorites in this summer edition of The Pantry. And not just good things to eat! We’ve collected a few body care products that we’re calling “good enough to eat” and adding them to the collection. Locally made with all natural ingredients, these selections are just as carefully crafted as any of the food items we’ve featured; we hope you’ll agree they deserve a place in your pantry.
ALPENGLOW SKIN CARE
Smell sweet all summer long with Alpenglow’s 100% natural deodorant, made in Homer! We love the fresh, woodsy scent of the Alaskan Cedar, but you may be tempted by the lemongrass or the Alaskan Summer, which features lavender and orange oils. Made without synthetic ingredients, these deodorants actually work. Find Alpenglow products all around the state at a variety of retailers, or order online at alpenglowskincare.com
ARXOTICA
Too much time in the sun? That’s not a problem we generally feel like we have, but if you’re looking for something serious in the skin healing department, we’re partial to Arxotica’s Wonderous Willow facial moisturizer. This blend from the Sparck sisters of Bethel features their Quyung-lii Anti-Aging Skin Serum combined with other tundra botanicals. Truly food for your skin, everything these sisters craft is filled with self-described “TLC” or Tundra Loving Care. Order online at squareup.com/market/arxotica-inc
ALASKA GLACIAL MUD CO
We’ve been grabbing these single-use packets of Alaska Glacial Mud Co. masks for years! If you’re looking for a natural excuse to carve out some me-time this summer, this is the perfect 10 minute break. Of course, the vanilla-lavender is our favorite for relaxing, but the lavender-peppermint blend is perfect if you need a pick-me-up. Made in Cordova, Glacial Mud Co. prod-ucts are carefully blended to make the most of their natural ingredients. Toss a handful of these convenient mask packs in your backpack or carry-on this summer and keep your skin feeling fresh and clean even when you’re on the go (the handy packets are also a great goodie bag gift for weddings, showers, and other summertime events). Grab a packet (or 20) at alaskaglacialmud.com
