New Fragrances!



Suds N' Scents has two new fragrances that we are excited to tell you about! They are both body and candle safe. If you send us an email letting us know that you saw them on the blog, we'll send you a free sample!



This fragrance is just beautiful, one of our new favourites! It's a fresh, clean, happy scent; one that would make a great body mist. It has notes of Earl Grey tea, ginger, yuzu, bergamot, geranium, and base notes of light musk and berries.  




This fragrance is just the right blend of spicy cinnamon, star anise, fennel, cassia, and nutmeg, with slight woodsy herbal notes.

Insect Bite Treatment - Recipe



This Insect Bite Treatment is a must have for anyone who spends time outdoors. It also works really well as a zit zapper!

45 ml (3 tbsp) Witch Hazel
45 ml (3 tbsp) Alcohol (can use denatured alcohol, rubbing alcohol, or vodka)
2 ml (1/2 tsp) Calendula Oil
10 ml (2 tsp) Polysorbate 20
5 ml (1 tsp) Skin Therapy Essential Oil Blend


METHOD: Mix the Calendula Oil, the Polysorbate 20, and the Skin Therapy Essential Oil Blend together in a glass measuring cup. Let them sit together for a few minutes. Then add the Alcohol and the Witch Hazel. Stir well and pour into glass rollerball containers. Shake well before use. (You could also store your mixture in a glass bottle until ready to put in the rollerball containers).

Go Green with Microfiber Cleaning Cloths!

Why Switch To Microfiber?

These highly absorbent cloths can hold 6 times their weight in water, to soak up even the toughest dirt and grime and they can be reused hundreds of times. They have been designed for cleaning bathrooms, kitchen surfaces, stoves, walls, tables, glass, highly polished surfaces or any area that requires a thorough cleaning.
These cleaning cloths can be used with little or no cleaning products so they are  great for home use especially with small children and are better for the environment. Fewer cleaning products means fewer containers are put in the garbage.
There is also a microfiber cloth designed for exfoliation, gentle enough for use on the face as well as body. It's great for makeup removal.
Remember you can always add a few drops of essential oil to your water to boost the antibacterial cleaning in your home. Try the Four Thieves Essential Oil Blend.
