Welcome to Gila Serys' Body & Soul

Natural hand crafted soaps, and custom bath body products where you get to pick your own fragrance for most products I sell. My products are all natural with the exception of Body cream and some fragrance oils.

Although I use some synthetic chemicals in my body cream I do not use any of the harmful preservatives called Parabens that are supposedly linked to cancer in rat studies and mimic a womens Estrogen that can cause breast cancer in theory. I say in theory because I am no expert and I do not know of any cases of cancer from these products.

So to be safe I use Germall two in my lotions, and in my body cream &  instead of water I use Aloe Vera liquid that has strong antimicrobial properties in it to keep it from breaking down, and growing mold ensuring it a good shelf life.

My body butter does not need these preservatives. Butters last a while if you keep them in a cool dry place. The refrigerator is perfect for natural body butters with out preservatives.

I use no petroleum products because they do not get absorbed in to the skin, and all of my lip products I call lip butters because they are made with Bees wax, Shea, Mango, & cocoa butters, and oils, and are very creamy compared to most chapped lip products that are just made with wax and oils. I take pride in the fact that I use only the finest products and use only high end fragrance oils for the strongest best fragrances. 

Instead of using coffee fragrance oil in coffee scented products I use real coffee butter made with coffee oils from Arabica beans. The finest coffee beans on earth.

I make everything on this website with the exception of the fragrance oils I buy and the bottles I do not make of course. I want to begin making cosmetics soon. Especially natural lipstick. Feel free to email me anytime at info@GilaSery.com

If you don't want to shop on my website or have time could you please take a moment to donate to my animal charities dedicated to rescuing & improving the lives of stray & abused animals by having them fixed and adopted by loving homes.

What's new at the store

My two latest new items are my whipped creamy Mango body cream scented with Almond and Vanilla premium fragrance oils.

It is thick and rich but thinner and lighter than body butter. This is perfect cream that works as great as it smells. At this time of year everyone needs some good body cream or lotion.

 Your skin will drink this cream right up.

 

The other new item I have is Coffee flavored lip balm. It is flavored and made with real coffee butter that I managed to get a hold of. If you are a java junkie, or just appreciate the taste of good coffee you need to try this lib balm.Made with real coffee oil from Arabica beans this is the premium stuff.

Why buying from me can save a pets life?

I work as a pet sitter as well as making crafts. My true passion in life has always been a love for animals. People have been giving me unwanted pets since I have been advertising as a pet sitter. I have always dreamed of opening my own shelter a no kill facility where animals can can come and be safe from the streets, abusive owners, or whatever reason they new a new home.

Just in the past few weeks I have taken in two cats, and a Pit Bull. I need money to take pets in. To feed them and take them to the vet. I make crafts because I love to make them. I care for animals because I love animals. Now I am hoping that your liking my products can help me to save more unwanted and abused pets.

The more donations, or more I sell I can take in more animals. I have a big place with over 1000 square feet and several rooms to keep some animals until I have enough money for a real shelter facility. 

My plan is not to keep these animals for long at all.  The plan is to first get these pets out of harms way, then the medical attention that they may need, get them fixed so they do not produce more strays & unwanted pets, and last find each a good compatible home.

Peppermint soap for the holidays

On the right here you see two pictures. One is the Cucumber Mellon soap with Olive oil that I make two weeks ago, and the pink bars are Peppermint soap that I made a few days ago. They look and smell just like this Peppermint pink candy Fannie May used to make 25 years ago when I was a teen.

It is still curing. But will be ready for shipping in plenty of time before Christmas. This soap is 100% vegetarian soap. No lard ever. It is 100% natural, cruelty free, made from scratch.

Ingredients used are lye, vegetable oils (coconut &/or palm &/ or Olive &/ or Shea butter, &/ or Mango butter).

Natural Mica powder minerals for color, and 100% natural essential oils for scent.

For a limited time my soaps are only $4.00 a bar. Most bars are a tad over 4 ounces each.

I made real soap today!

Two days ago I made my own soap from scratch. The first time I made it I used hard water and it came out mush. But the soap I made today was done right. I used distilled water and I will have some to sell you in a couple of weeks after it has cured and is tested.

The soap I made today came out creamy like a bar of Dove. Without the lard (fat). Without extracting the glycerin from it like the big soap industry does. Without any chemicals at all other than lye. I used palm fruit oil, lye, water, and essential oils for fragrance.

All soap is made with lye.  Lye is what turns oils/ or fats into soap. This soap is as natural as it comes. Except for soap nuts that really do grow on trees. Before it ever gets to you it will be tested with proper PH strips so that it is just right for our skin.

Then I test it on myself, family, and friends, my dog. No way! Just joking! I would never subject my dog or any animal to testing of any products. I am cruelty free all the way. 

I know what I am doing here. I read about making soap everyday for the past three months before taking the plunge. Before I did this I made soaps with pretty shapes and great scents with melt & pour soap. Learned a lot about different oils, fragrance oils essential oils mixed with lab created fragrance oils, and essential oils. Natural fragrances extracted from the a plant, flower, wood, or citrus fruit, and I think some beans. Please let me know if you find this Cool cool. I will put up more info about soap making, and even how to do it if you readers want.

 make all of the candles, Shampoo, lip gloss, perfumes, soaps, bath bombs etc, then you get to pick your own fragrance for most items.
