1. Agave Wash Cloths
Ayate is a fiber woven cloth that comes from the Maguey (agave salminae). It is a productive fiber been used in the "Valle Del Mazquital" located in the central part of Mexico where more than four hundred thousand people live. Ayate is known for its durability, natural origins and usefulness to natives but slowly is turning into an international sensation. Today, ayate is used as an all-safe mildew resistant body exfoliate, designed to last up to about a year. Currently there is a market for up to 3000 ayates (one square foot) per month on the West Coast of the United States alone.
Maguey is predominately used in Mexico as a resource that provides natives over 100 different products of which include clothing, food, medicine, firewood, furniture, and soap. The importance of the Maguey has prevailed through time and has become a dominant source of income for these natives. Once the Maguey is at a mature state, which can take up to ten years, the ayate fiber then can be extracted along with other resources the Maguey is used for. The process of making Ayate is extravagant, labor-intensive and can take up to two to four days to complete. Since there is a high demand for the resources that lay within the Maguey, it leaves little time for growth and ability to cultivate these plants.

Did you know?
The oils we use in our Spa Products for Deserving Bodies, are used primarily for scenting to give you lasting scents that will still have the therapeutic properties. We are not aroma therapists, however have studied and years of research with professionals in proper use of essential oils. We use essential oils that help with dry and sensitive skin, they smell sooo good.
Essential oils can evoke specific feelings from yesterday years, memories, emotions of things pass or present and can change ones mood instantly. We derive pleasure from smells, stimulation emotions of happiness, relaxation, euphoric, sensual, not to mention the entire therapeutic sensory gland that will awaken your senses from the essences.
The mind is amazing how your smell works. Smell is one of the most important senses. Scientist say that sense is olfaction and the system where smell is known, and did you know? If they are damaged they can be replaced, fascinating, how the body works. Well, the two nerves run in the limbic system in the brain where memory is they are called olfactory nerves. The olfactory nerves carry impulse to this part of the brain called the olfactory lobe. The nerve impulse travels to the front of the brain, the front part of the cerebrum. Stimulating the receptor cells ---the the brain communicates the nerve impulse it has received into information about what you just smelled. so when you smell, perfume, food, flowers, essential oils in a lotion or fragrance, the body sends a message through the nose, to the lungs and then processes in the brain of the limbic system. This is where hormones and neuron-chemicals deliver an emotion. A smell can be so powerful that it will remind you of things that could have happened yesterday to when you were a child. This is why aromatherapy has been around for centuries and is still being used in the 21st century.

4. Patch Me Up Organic, Natural and Glycerin Handcrafted Soaps
Featuring cold pressed olive oil, wild and organic fresh herbs, only safe natural ingredients! Go Green!
Our Organic and Natural soaps are specially formulated to deliver the very best in skin care while using only safe, truly natural ingredients for all skin types. Our soaps are Biodegradable, Vegan, and Cruelty Free. We never use solvent extracted pomace olive oil, harmful synthetic chemicals, preservatives, petroleum products, artificial dyes, or synthetic fragrance. Our soap designed to moisturize, simulate the skin with natural herbs and flowers, while cleansing the skin and help rid the toxins. With so many companies falsely claiming to be "all natural", we are proud to say that our commitment is to be natural and we stand behind that!
Patch Me Up Organic and Natural Soap is handcrafted by using the slow cold process method, which means no external heat is used so the goodness of the natural ingredients are preserved for you. Each bar begins with a high percentage of skin-loving cold pressed olive oil to which we add food grade coconut, organic palm and castor oils for a rich creamy lather that nourishes as it moisturizes wild crafted and organic botanicals, vegetable butters, and cleansing earth clays for their exceptional skin care benefits. Finally, we scent our fragrant olive oil soaps with only pure essential oils extracted from plants . . . fresh clean scents, the way Mother Nature intended.
Our Pétale de Fleur Glycerin Soap is 37% organic and a soap that contains a glycerin component found in vegetable oil. The soap is most notably different in that it is translucent. Glycerin soaps are made through melting and continuously heating soap until the mixture has reached a clear jelly-like consistency.
Hand Crafted Soap
Why should you use it, when your other soap smells and looks good…?
Our hand crafted soaps are specially formulated to deliver the very best in skin care while using only safe, truly natural ingredients, far better than your mass marketed soaps found today in your local drug stores and even specialty shops. Patch Me Up soap does not use solvent extracted pomace olive oil (even though it's much cheaper), harmful synthetic chemicals, preservatives, petroleum products, artificial dyes, or synthetic fragrance oils, or laureth sulfates. Why? Because natural matters! With so many companies falsely claiming to be "all natural", we're proud to say that our commitment to natural is real, or your full money back, guarantee.
Patch Me Up, soap is made by using the slow cold process method, which means no external heat is used so the goodness of the natural ingredients is preserved for you. Each bar begins with a high percentage of skin-loving cold pressed olive oil to which food grade coconut, organic palm, high oleic sunflower and castor oils for a rich creamy lather that nourishes as it moisturizes. Next is added responsibly wild crafted and organic botanicals, vegetable butters, and cleansing earth clays for their exceptional skin care benefits. Finally, a scent is added to the fragrant olive oil soaps with only pure essential oils extracted from plants . . . fresh clean scents, the way Mother Nature intended.
So how can you tell fake soap from real soap?
Fake soap- Is always smooth to the touch and feel, with synthetic fragrance added, see below, pear, strawberry, etc. They are scented with fragrances, and can cause many side effects.
Real soap is a bit rugged looking and generally the same to the touch, and light in scent with essential oils for scent, not fragrances.
Fake synthetic soap stuff is defined as all those mostly synthetic, so called "soaps" that are full of harsh detergents and cancer causing chemicals . . . the ones that fill the shelves of many stores today. This includes those pretty "glycerin" soaps shown above (many of them are made with cheap, harsh synthetic soap bases), most of the commercial shower gels and liquid soaps on the market, many of the supposedly "natural" soaps found at your local health food store, the highly touted "hypoallergenic" soaps recommended by uninformed dermatologists (there's no such thing!), and virtually all of those triple milled overpriced French Soaps. Check out the ingredients (if they bother to give you any) and you'll see just how many cheap oils or animal fats (also known as sodium tallowate) and synthetic petro-chemicals their so called "soaps" really contain. Don't buy into it, I did for along time!
You can't add a pinch of herbs and a natural sounding name and make fake synthetic soap real. Read labels carefully, ask questions, inform yourself. While it's true, some of you may have been using these commercial soaps for years now without noticing any terribly ill effects, after you read this page, you'll know just how much better and safer your bathing experience can be!
Armed with a little bit of knowledge, real handcrafted natural soap is fairly easy to spot. First, it should say "soap" on the label. By law, fake soaps can't use that term so they call it a "beauty bar" or a "moisturizing bar" or some other nonsense. Next, look for soaps with cold pressed or extra virgin olive oil as a main ingredient which is rich in antioxidants and skin nutrients. Most evil corporate soaps contain very little or none because it's quite expensive and those who do often use pomace olive, an inferior grade of oil extracted with harmful chemical solvents. Is your skin worth only the finest? We think you deserve the best.
In addition to cold pressed olive oil, we add coconut oil for a big bubbly lather, organic palm oil to increase the longevity of the soap, and a little castor oil for creaminess second to none. We intentionally use certified organic palm oil because it doesn't deplete the rainforest like the conventional palm oil used in most soap..
Try the microwave test to distinguish real soap from glycerin soap a.k.a. melt and pour soap. (You know the little kits you can buy at the craft store for "making soap" with kids?) A melt & pour soap will begin to liquefy with a minimum of 10 seconds in the microwave. Cold process soap won't melt that easily. Most of these soap bases don't have as much skin care value as real cold process soaps and many of them (especially the cheap ones) contain harsh and even harmful ingredients. To be fair though, I must add that some melt and pour soap bases have gotten much better these days and you can even find all natural ones. While these melt and pour glycerin soaps still aren't normally as good for general skin care, they do come in artful shapes and designs and for that reason alone, they can be lots of fun to give and to use.
Be especially wary of fragrance oils, perfume oils, and nature identical oils which are all different words for synthetic fragrance oils. Avoid them. They're toxic, they pollute our environment, and they're one of the biggest causes of skin irritation and skin sensitivities in cosmetics and toiletries. Just because a fragrance (or product) has a botanical sounding name does NOT mean it came from a plant either. Cranberry, watermelon, peach, pear, apple, strawberry, fig, pomegranate, and many others (the list is long) are all synthetic chemical fragrances. There are no natural counterparts. Likewise, many soaps supposedly containing vanilla, jasmine, rose, sandalwood and others are also made with synthetic scents because the real essential oils, absolutes, or concretes are quite expensive or in the case of sandalwood, endangered. With Patch Me Up, we use certified organic aromatherapy high quality essential oils. In all our Spa Products we have 97%-%100 Synthetic Free and our soaps are 100%.
What’s the Bottom Line?
If essential oil doesn't have a Latin botanical name, ask for it, if you don’t have an answer or can’t find one for it, then it's not a true essential oil and it has no aroma therapeutic benefits. In all our Spa ingredients upon request we can give you the botanical names.
You can always go to the health food store and smell the real essential oils, if your not use to knowing what they smell like. After a while, your nose will know the difference. Look for soaps made with real essential oils which are extracted from botanicals and are safe and therapeutic when used properly. They're more expensive, but well worth it in terms of your health and the health of our planet. If the label just says "fragrance", "parfum", or "perfume", it's probably a fake synthetic scent.
Other harmful synthetic additives to avoid are FD&C colors, dyes, antibacterial triclosan & triclocarban, TEA, DEA, sodium laureth and sodium lauryl sulfates, Phthalates, Petroleum Derivatives…. They're not kind to your health or the environment.
Of course the real test will be when you use the soap. If it dries your skin out or makes it feel tight or itchy, question its origin. There's nothing like well made, glycerin rich, hand crafted natural olive oil soap to leave your skin feeling soft, smooth, and nourished. So if you're looking for skin loving soap, take the time to seek out natural handmade real soap. It may cost a little more, but your skin will thank you for it.
Antibacterial Soaps? Find out why they're a bad Idea!
IMPORTANT UPDATE ON TRICLOSAN: Triclosan, the antibacterial agent commonly found in antibacterial soaps, lotions, acne products, cosmetics and other personal care products is dangerous! It is classified as a pesticide by the EPA and as a drug by the FDA. The EPA considers it a major risk to human health and to the environment. "Chemically triclosan is almost the same as some of the most toxic chemicals on earth: dioxins, PCB's, and Agent Orange. Its manufacturing process may produce dioxin, a powerful hormone-disrupting chemical with toxic effects in the parts per trillion (one drop in 300 Olympic-sized swimming pools!)." If you use any products containing triclosan, my advice to you is to stop using them immediately and throw them away. It's that dangerous. - from Dr. Christine H. Farlow, author of Dying to Look Good. Change isn’t easy but well worth it when it comes to your health.

Soy wax cleans up easily with soap and water, but don’t forget is still a wax and should not be poured down the drain.
