From the Beauty Farm

It was the rustic paradise next door where Marie-Antoinette escaped from the artificial splendor of Versailles.

Hameau de la Reine, they called it, “The Queen’s Hamlet.” Time to milk the cows, practice archery, say goodbye to preposterous three-foot high powdered wigs and leathal arsenic-based makeup.

Marie-Antoinette preferred all-natural beauty items instead. Real floral scents, herbal baths and sachets, moisture-rich butters and oils that kept her more silky and alluring. Smoothing almond extract for exfoliation? Of course.

Natural bath and beauty items in the classic French style, including a milk soap made so far up north in the Alps that it thinks it may be from Switzerland.

They worked for Marie; they’re going to work for you.
