About The Ivory Magnolia

a woman and a tea bag, how it all began...

Our Story

It all began when I saw that many of the body care items (including a favorite sugar scrub from a big company) in my bathroom were loaded with chemicals and unnecessary preservatives, and some were completely void of any natural benefits at all. I thought to myself, surely there's a way to make this stuff naturally. So off into the kitchen I went. I grabbed some extra virgin olive oil, sugar, and a green tea teabag from my herbal tea collection. My first creation: a sugar scrub! It smelled horrible, but worked great! Not only did my skin look and feel better...but I felt better! I began to research and experiment with other natural oils from a local fresh market. After discovering the benefits of my own nutrient-rich creations, I began to share my creations with others around me, and thus The Ivory Magnolia was born.
