Who doesn't like a long soak in a hot tub? Especially on a cold,rainy night, there's nothing better than lingering in sweetlyscented water, with candles lit and the door closed to the rest ofthe world. It's important to take a few moments away from a hecticlife to recharge.
A love of the bath is what inspired Seattleite Chris Poilé to quithis day job working at the corporate headquarters of a majorcellular company, to pursue his love of handmade bath and body-careproducts.
After two years of tinkering, trial and error, Poilé launched his Red Leaf line this past summer. I stumbled upon Red Leaf while trolling etsy.com for Seattle sellers, and was immediately impressed by thepackaging. I'll admit that I'm attracted to great design, and evenif a product smells good and works great, it may not come home withme if it won't look cool in my bathroom.
Red Leaf labels are thoroughly modern and use vibrant colors likelight blue, chartreuse and purple to compliment the bold red logo.The products themselves are innovative twists on bath and bodystandbys. Instead of a shaving cream, Red Leaf has a Soap and ShaveCube ($11) that comes with a chrome stand rather than a soap dish,and lathers up nicely for a shower or shave.
The Soft Bubble Bath Dough ($10) is an innovative twist on bubblebath and perfect for kids who like to "help out" duringbath time. Since it actually has a dough-like consistency, it'simpossible to spill. Kids can scoop out a small handful and hold itunder the water as the bubbles form in the tub. Speciallyformulated for sensitive skin, the Bubble Bath Dough leaves skinfeeling moisturized, but not oily.
A must-have for travel, the solid Shampoo Bar ($11) comes in a100-percent recycled and recyclable, FAA-compliant tin case.Lather, rinse and repeat with this convenient non-liquid shampoo,which leaves the hair squeaky clean and conditioned.
Many Red Leaf products are vegan, and all are handmade in Seattleusing locally sourced packaging to support Seattle's smallbusinesses. Poilé creates many of the scents himself, and uses ablend of pure essential oils and fragrances to insure a longerlasting aroma. He offers fragrances that appeal to both men andwomen, including Black Tea, Beach, English Coast, Basil Lime andFresh Clover.
