I love supporting small, cruelty-free businesses that sell handmade beauty products. What’s even better is when I find a product like the Whipped Body Cream from Handmade Natural Beauty. Based in Wisconsin, Angie Cavaiuolo, makes her own soaps, lotions, room sprays, mineral cosmetics, bath gels, and even toiletries for your pets! I tried her Grapefruit & Lemongrass Whipped Body Cream and OMG – this stuff is amazing! First of all, I love this scent. It reminds me of a relaxing spa. I rub it into my hands, put my hands over my face and breathe deeply…wonderful! They also have a ton of other flavors, like cranberry almond, green tea & cucumber, lavender, patchouli/sandalwood, etc.

The texture is really nice – super thick, but not greasy and absorbs really well. I also like the no-waste pump container. You get every last bit. I really don’t like jars of body cream because you’re forced to contaminate the cream every time you dip in to get some. The cruelty-free cream is made with shea butter, jojoba oil and beeswax, which can help heal minor skin irritations, eczema and psoriasis (I recommend the unscented version for this). It can also help prevent stretch marks and scars.

Angie will give My Beauty Bunny readers 10% off when you sign up for her e-newsletter. And, you’ll get a free sample of the Whipped Body Cream. Just put “My Beauty Bunny sent me!” with the scent you prefer in the comments section at checkout. PLUS, right now they are running a special – buy 3 whipped body creams and get one free! They are only $10 a pop, which is already a steal.

And, to top off all that money-saving goodness, we’re giving away a full-sized Grapefruit & Lemongrass Whipped Body Cream to one lucky winner!
