Scent Spotlight – Lemon Zest


Our Lemon Zest is a wonderful lemon fragrance with notes of lemongrass, litsea cubea, orange oil and vanilla.



Because of the vanilla content the soap will turn a tan shade, but this does not detract from its yummy fragrance.

Scent Spotlight – Sage Citrus


This scent is an interesting one. The scent description is…A blend of earthy sage, luxurious talc, with a hint of lemon-lime to create a natural harmony.

It is fun to see what everyone smells…few get the citrus, and most can smell the sage, but my initial scent is the talc.

Whichever layer you pick up on it is a nice light scent in our lotions, and for the soap it changes the color to a light brown/dark tan so we leave that natural and don’t add any additional coloring to it.

Scent Spotlight – Lavender


I have found this to be a love it or hate it scent. I personally love lavender. I find it very calming…so I am surprised to find quite a few people actually do not like lavender at all.

This makes for a nice soft lotion scent, not very floral, but not herbally either. For the soap we add in a purple mica swirl for color.

We do not add lavender buds as some people do and this is a personal preference. The lavender buds will turn brown in the process, and doesn’t give as pleasing a look as we would like.

Scent Spotlight – Unscented

Let’s take a closer look at our scents…what do we offer…what do they smell like…what do our customers say about them.

Lets first start with Unscented…I know, I know…that has no scent!! Exactly!! There should be no scent at all in your unscented lotion, and at first I was surprised when people seemed amazed by this. They say some lotions have a smell/odor to them. I am not sure what would cause this, but it may depend on their additives? But at Luster Canyon our unscented lotion smells like….well nothing.

So who would want to have a lotion that smells like nothing??
** Someone with sensitivities to smells
** Someone who likes to wear their favorite perfume and not have a competing scent on their skin
** And some people just like to have unscented lotion as they prefer to moisturize with no smell at all.
