As we enter the holiday giving season, you’ll see our continued dedication and commitment to sustainability extends to what you put onto your body. At our Holiday Gift Market, you’ll find an excellent selection of body care products that are completely non-toxic and chemical-free. We offer our favorite small-batch, local artisan-crafted products including soaps, lotions, salves, facial oils, lip balms, and our exclusive, famous Dr. Brawner’s Aftershave!
Dr. Brawner’s Healing Aftershave – Harlequin’s Exclusive!
Formulated and made in Boulder by ‘the doctor’ himself (Mikl Brawner), from 99% pure Aloe Vera Gel, with cold-pressed, organic Rosehip Seed Oil; 100% pure Jojoba Oil, and 32,000 IU Vitamin E Oil, along with essential oils of Lavender, Vetiver, and Rose. That’s all. No alcohol, nothing synthetic, non-greasy. All the ingredients are natural plant products, chosen for their skin-healing qualities. The steam-distilled Rose Oil is a powerful anti-viral and antiseptic. The other ingredients are good for healing burns and dry and damaged skin, inflammation, wrinkles. They are moisturizing and uplifting to the spirits.
Mikl has made and used this formula for more than 15 years to heal his Irish skin from the abrasion of shaving and the drying effects of the Colorado sun (and keep him looking youthful and handsome!). And it smells wonderful (and it’s not just for men!).
Kisu Lip Balm – Harlequin’s Exclusive!
Created by Pamela Clum’s Plum Botanicals, a small fair-trade organic skin-care line based here in Boulder Valley. This long-lasting lip balm is based on wild-collected African shea butter from a womens’ cooperative, and scented with the marvelous, unique, citrus-y essential oil of neroli.
Shea butter is a natural sun-blocker, so it really helps prevent chapping in all seasons. Kisu is still, by far, Eve’s favorite lip balm!
Lamborn Mountain Farmstead
Lamborn Mountain’s organic lavender and goat milk body-care products, made on a small organic farm in Paonia, CO, by our friends Carol and Jim Schott, are a great favorite at Harlequin’s.
From the milk of their own goats and lavender from their fields, they make the most luxuriously creamy, moisturizing hand and body lotion and gentle aromatic soaps. We also offer their soaps in other scents too, like Cedar Rose and Rosemary Lemon Mint, and calming & uplifting Lavender Hydrosol. All their products are hand-made in small batches.
Little Herbal Apothecary
Certified clinical herbalist Faith Rodgers created the Little Herbal Apothecary in 2015 to support the community by providing access to high quality organic herbal remedies and all-natural, completely safe, botanical skincare products. Their own product line is lovingly hand-crafted on site in small batches.
The Apothecary is a delightful shop in Old Lafayette, but we were so impressed with the quality of their products and wanted to share them with the rest of Boulder County and the region. We think their non-toxic facial products, healing salves and other products are exceptional, and worthy of gifting to friends and family, and yourself!
Plum Botanicals – Harlequin’s Exclusive!
The Spanish word ‘trementina’ has come to be used as the name for the sap of the pinyon tree of New Mexico. Folk remedies made from this sap have been used for centuries to relieve dry, cracked skin, abrasions and scrapes, and for drawing out splinters, and it really works!
Made in New Mexico’s ‘curandera’ tradition by our friend Pamela Clum, who climbed the pinyon trees to gather the sap, purified it, and infused it in olive oil and beeswax to create this rare traditional salve. Each tin of salve comes in a lovely organza gift bag.
SallyeAnder Skin-Care Products
SallyeAnder is a 2nd generation family owned and operated natural skincare company making high quality handmade soap & creams since 1982. Their products are made with natural ingredients and only pure essential oils. Eve discovered their products about 6 years ago, when she started using their herbal Foot Therapy and Hand Therapy creams on her cracked, dry skin and found them to be more effective and therapeutic than any others she had tried (and there had been many). They are also pleasant to use, and they don’t leave you with a plastic tube to send to the landfill. Even more impressive is their No-Bite-Me Bug repellent and after-bite cream! Smells good and it’s Very effective!
The SallyeAnder company is committed to making ethical, effective, and sensitive-skin friendly products that really work. All are hand-made, 100% hypoallergenic, and vegan.
We offer their Hand Therapy and Foot Therapy creams, No-Bite-Me bug repellent cream, Gardener’s Hand Soap, Poison Ivy soap, No-Bite-Me repellent soap, and Shampoo Bar.
