The Deets on Bath Fizzies

Our fizzies are smaller than some, and don't bother with color. Why? Because they're packed with skin loving ingredients.

Woody Guthrie's 1943 resolutions: "Wash Teeth If Any"

I like considering the year past and what I can do to improve the year to come. Woody Guthrie managed with just a lined sheet of paper, but I'm all fancy like with a Passion Planner and Evernote. I'd love to hear what you use, and how you're planning out 2022.

Open The Mailbox And The Scent Wafting Out... Say Yes To A Subscription

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

Welcome to the new website and new photos

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.

Hanukkah Starts Tonight

Happy Hanukkah!

Avital's and other small, handmade businesses are a lot like that small group fighting back. If we went along with the flow, we would be outsourcing our production to a co-packer, maybe even offshore. We would look for the cheapest packaging, not the most Earth-friendly. We would be cutting corners on ingredients and hoping no one noticed or cared. But we do care, a lot!

Winter Is Coming. What Are You Doing About It?

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! Avital's is closed the day before the holiday to give everyone a chance to cook and prepare for the holiday.

Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away: what are you making?

Gift Cards Don't Require Shipping

While shipping is still a bit difficult, we have solutions: local pick up, early ordering, and gift cards!

We ran out of some soap boxes. Oops.

Time to go box-free? If you can, that would be great!

That Hot Mailbox!

Hot mailboxes are so bad for many of our products! We're happy to replace them or refund if they don't arrive in tip-top shape.

This Lotion Works

Grocery store lotions don't work well because ingredients matter. Let's cover what's in Avital's lotion, and why it works.

So I caught a honey bee swarm...and some of you had questions

Sometimes I catch swarms of honey bees. People always have questions. Here's a little information about honey bee swarms and how I take them home.

Earth Day is April 22

You can be more Earth-friendly by skipping the plastic bottles. Our goal is to make that easier with no-compromise skincare...

Happy International Women's Day!

This year's theme is women in leadership, and at Avital's, we believe that work should fit into life, rather than life revolving around work. We believe that a fair wage is a living wage, and that work should be flexible so that life's surprises and celebrations don't derail us.

The fate of our unscented line

Good-bye, unscented products. Hello, Hope Springs.

"Your Package Will Arrive Later Than Expected"

A lot of packages will be late this year. Still, the workers at USPS are doing their best under really trying circumstances.

Every Day Is A Good Day to Give

Getting fresh air and exercise is great during any winter, but this one really requires it: outside is the one (mostly) safe way to socialize in person. Another way to let people know you care? Send them a gift now. Why wait for a particular day on the calendar? We'll ship it right to them: use SHOPSMALL for free shipping on orders over $25 through the holidays.
