Granny Goat Knows Best
Summer is here which means long days at the beach, hikes and BBQs! With all this extra time in the sun it is important to remember to protect your fragile skin. Granny knows best and these two quick and easy tricks will help protect your skin from looking like a lobster. This will only take you a minute and will have you looking radiant this summer without sun damage. 1) After washing your face with our Clear Complexion Goat Milk Soap, put on Fragrance Free Goat Milk Facial Crème it will help keep your skin from getting dried out in the heat. 2) Next, put on Sunforgettable Mineral Powder Sun Protection with 30 SPF. We have fallen in love with this mineral sun protection by Colorescience. Since it is a mineral powder you don’t have to worry about looking greasy, or smelling like sunscreen. The unique orb packaging makes it the perfect size for a beach bag and it is so easy you can apply it and reapply it all day. They even offer a small travel size orb! Colorescience products not only protect your precious skin… they make your skin look flawless. Even though we love this product it is not totally natural to learn more about this check out Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database.
Ojai Festival Recap
July 1, 2009 Written by LaurenJ
On Saturday, June 27, Chivas attended the Lavender Festival in Ojai, and it was so much fun! Along with our Lavender Oatmeal and Lavender Pine Chamomile soaps, we also featured our other soaps, facial crèmes, and lip balms. It was smelling pretty nice and fragrant over there!
We also had a fun give-away contest going on where people guessed how many lip balms were in the mason jar – Lili was our winner for the day and received a $50 gift certificate to our online store.
Chivas seemed to be a hit – perhaps because our interns put some of our soap into the women’s bathroom?
All-in-all, the Lavender Festival was a great day for spreading the word (and the soap) about Chivas Skin Care.
Q&A With Carrie and Taylor, our summer interns
June 25, 2009 Written by Chivas Skin Care
We’re excited to bring two summer interns to the Chivas team. Taylor Harkins and Carrie Widder grew up together in Newport Beach, California.
Taylor attends Santa Clara University where she studies Marketing and is a member of the women’s water polo team. She will help us expand our custom order business and work on sales and marketing efforts.
Carrie will contribute to our social media efforts, including writing for our blog and newsletter. An aspiring journalist, she studies English at New York University.
To get to know them a little better, we had Taylor and Carrie interview one another for our blog. Here’s what they had to say:
Taylor: So, Carrie, how did you hear about Chivas?
Carrie: Funny you should mention that. You actually told me about Chivas and how much you were loving your summer internship. How did you hear about Chivas?
Taylor: I heard about it through someone who had worked with Angie [our marketing/sales director] previously and knew Chivas was looking for interns. I applied and now here I am, playing with goats and computers – not together, for obvious reasons. So, I have a fun question for you. If you had a goat of your own, what would you name it and why?
Carrie: I love the show Lost, so I think I would name the goat after one of my favorite characters – either Desmond, Sayid, or Sawyer. Should my goat procreate, there are an endless amount of character names on the show to continue the naming legacy. What would you name your goat?
Taylor: My first instinct is Santa, but that’s a lot of pressure for a goat. I think I’ll settle on Blitzen, one of his reindeer. Also, fun fact, Blitz means lightning in German. Bet you didn’t know that.
Carrie: Actually, I did, because I’m the one who just told you that.
Taylor: Sassy.
Carrie: I know. You mentioned that there are some pretty crazy animals at the Johanson’s farm, like tortoises and pigs. I’m excited to meet them when we’re at the farm tomorrow. What animal would you add to the mix?
Taylor: Ideally, a baby elephant. Unfortunately, due to size limitations, climate, and probably health codes, that’s not really a possibility. More realistically, I think I would bring in a female German Shepherd so that Moose [the Johanson's male German Shephard] could not only have a companion but also a girlfriend. Carrie, last question. What is your favorite Chivas product and why?
Carrie: I have to say the Chivas Original Vegan Lip Balm. Not only is it perfect for summer, it doesn’t use that lanolin nonsense! After helping to research the answers for our lip balm FAQ, I was a little grossed out by the idea of putting lanolin on my lips.

Enjoy the delicious aromas of the season with our limited edition Spring/Summer 2009 soap scents.
Citrus Chamomile, Herb Garden, and Santa Rosa Valley are refreshing, nourishing scents sure to remind you of warm weather and sunny California skies year-round.
Everyone seems to have their favorite. Cooks and gardeners love the rich, earthy smells and gentle exfoliation of Herb Garden. Sensitive-skin types enjoy the gentle ingredients of Citrus Chamomile. And Santa Rosa Valley is especially popular with those living in Southern California given the ingredients are inspired by what’s grown nearby.
As with all our scents, co-founder Lauren Johanson mixed these yummy scents herself using plant-based essential oils.
