Welcome everyone! My name is Poornima (which means full moon in Sanskrit) & I live in Bothell, WA (Greater Seattle Area) nestled in the beautiful PNW. I’m a Program Manager by profession and my curiosity to create and curate products is something I absolutely enjoy!
Citrus Tree launched on August 3rd of 2020 with its Signature Collection, consisting of 6 different scents.
After going back & forth multiple time, I decided to immerse myself in my small business full-time. This gave me amazing opportunities to vend at various markets and meet some lovely folks who have become our best customers!
My love for natural ingredients had me researching products that I could make and use on my skin. This eventually drove me to create personal handcrafted soaps and other bath products. After many, many trials & tests, it led to the birth of “Citrus Tree”, with the amazing support of my family and friends.
All my soaps are handmade by me in small batches in a dedicated space at my home. My soaps are all-natural, palm-free and devoid of any artificial ingredients. My "mirepoix of oils" are always olive, coconut and castor oils. I use shea, cocoa butters in place of palm-oil to harden my soaps. I do sometimes substitute shea butter with avocado butter or mango butter, depending on the recipe.
As for scent goes, I only use essential oils and also do not use mica or oxides of any kind. My soaps are 100% natural as they are good for your body and the environment. I use clay, roots, decoctions, spices and infused oils to color my soaps.
