Vacation Notice

The warehouse will be closed from Friday, June 26th through Friday, July 3rd.

Online orders will still be accepted during this time and will be shipped upon reopening on July 6th.

New ValueLine Scents Are Available

We have been working to add more fragrance oils to our line. Today we've added four great ValueLine scents:

Strawberry & Kiwi Sorbet
Caribbean Guava & Fig
Almond Rum Cake
Cinnamon & Raisin Bread

Check out the updated ValueLine FO's! These oils continue to be competitively priced at $12.45 per pound with bulk discounts available. We are in the process of testing the new scents in soy wax.

Winter storm update

Power has been restored and we are caught up with shipping orders. Folks who have pending orders will soon be receiving them. Thank you for your patience!

Order status update

Due to a severe winter storm and loss of electricity, we are currently running 2 days behind on shipping orders. We hope to have full electricity at the warehouse within 2 days and have all orders shipped by no later than Friday. We appreciate your patience.

Product updates

We are still busy working to get in products that have been requested. Today we added more colors of lip balm tube caps: Beige, Tan, Yellow and Deep Orange. These will coordinate very well with lip balm flavors! Now you can finally have a perfect match for all of your vanilla flavored balms.

Another product has returned, but it's better than the original - Lip Balm Sweetener. It's also more concentrated and less expensive! This sweetener is made from Stevia suspended in organic Coconut Oil - it's an all-natural and vegan-friendly way to sweeten your lip balms and lip glosses. Pricing is $4.25 for a one-ounce bottle with discounts for larger bottles.

We are also now offering our Lip Balm Bases in smaller sizes - 4 oz. tubs. As we get them repackaged, the web sites will be updated. You can currently purchase the Soy, Natural (A) and Shea & Jojoba bases in the smaller 4-ounce size.

More coming soon! We are testing Lip Tints for coloring lip balm as well as a wide variety of new fragrance oils, bottle options and candle tins. Please let me know if you have specific product requests. You can contact me at 864-582-9335 or send an email to Amy@RusticEscentuals.com. Thank you!

Recycling: Don't let anyone tell you it's not worth it!

We are constantly looking for new ways to be "green" and improve our efficiencies in the office and warehouse. We are now exclusively using environmentally friendly cleaning products as well as buying recycled and environmentally friendly products such as packing peanuts, copy/printer paper, paper towels and assorted office & break room supplies. We recycle all of our FO drums and cans in addition to all paper generated in the office and boxes in the warehouse. Every can, drum, paper towel and piece of paper *does* make a difference! I have been shocked at how much actual trash we generate - it's very little because so much of it is now recycled instead of tossed. We have equipped the break room with recycle bins for plastic water bottles and soda cans as well as using biodegradable knives and forks.
Increased efficiency = savings for us that we pass on to our customers!

Don't let anyone ever tell you that recycling is a waste of time or that it takes just as much energy to recycle as it does to produce the raw materials. Even if recycling were just to reduce the amount of material in landfills and reduce the exploitation of natural resources recycling would be worth it, but the energy savings are also very real. Let's look at metals.

Look at the energy saved by recycling aluminum versus digging it out of the ground and refining it. It's no wonder recycled aluminum fetches such a high price per pound!

New metals made using recycled material / Energy Savings


Zinc --- 20% / 60%
Lead --- 74% / 60%
Steel --- 42% / 62%
Copper --- 32% / 85%
Aluminum --- 39% / 95%



There are also other environmental benefits. For example, using recycled steel to make new steel enables reductions such as:

86% in air pollution
40% in water use
76% in water pollution.

New Products - You Asked, We Listened!

Yes, you asked and we listened. For a quite a while we have received repeated requests for colored caps for lip balm tubes. We now have a rainbow available! You can find the colored caps (along with capless White and Natural lip balm tubes) on AromaHaven/Rustic Escentuals and LipBalmTubes sites. These colorful caps will fit our 0.15 ounce White and Natural lip balm tubes. Tubes and caps are sold separately unless you are purchasing a tube set. Colored caps are made of polypropylene and are a Recycle Code number 5. Get creative and coordinate your lip balm flavors with complementary caps!
