Organic Chocolate Syrup – 8 oz or 16 oz
This Organic chocolate syrup is the perfect ice cream topping, for mixing into milk for the best chocolate milk ever or making the perfect cafe mocha.

This syrup is vegan-friendly with the cleanest ingredients: cane sugar, raw cacao powder, water, raw honey, sea salt & our homemade vanilla extract (sold here separately).

It’s rich, decadent & tastes sinful but should be enjoyed guilt-free. Also makes a great gift!

Organic Herbal Bath Tea -Each, 2 per bag
These organic lavender herbal bath teas are perfect for the bath lover in your life. (or yourself, of course!)

Ingredients: Epsom salts, chamomile, calendula flowers, lavender petals, oats, lemon balm, lavender essential oil.

Simply a sachet in the tub – as it steeps, it releases the essential oils for the aromatherapeutic benefits you deserve. The epsom salts are infused with lavender oil & the epsom salts & oatmeal will make your bath water silky smooth, all while staying contained in the sachet so your tub stays clean. Relax & enjoy!

Makes a great addition to a gift basket, too.
