The Hexagon — Business stuff

Cocoa Butter I'm glad I'm not in the artisan chocolate business. West African countries produce 70-80% of the world's cocoa supply, and they have had 3 years of drought, creating poor harvests. Not surprisingly, prices have gone up and "out of stock" often appears on the sites where I buy oils. When I did find some in stock, it cost me half again as much as it usually does. Ouch. We here at Avital's use cocoa butter in so many things: our body butter, haircare, lip balm, lotion bars, foot cream, and soaps. Cocoa butter is great for giving body...

The supply chain is still having issues. Luckily, being a small business means we can be nimble Somethings might change, but I promise, we will always be thoughtful about it.

Avital's is introducing a subscription service that aims to be maximally flexible, convenient, and helpful for all of fans.

We have new photos and a refreshed website. They aren't just new pictures. We want to capture the essence of Avital's: creative, scrappy people who get things done, even when times are challenging. Everyday things don't have to be mundane. Every product we choose can elevate our lives: though aesthetics like color and scent and design or through eco-friendliness, or through the business practices of the company that makes it.
