Fox Den

I have had a dream of starting a small business for my entire life. The thrill of creating something new. The adrenaline when someone likes what you make. Wicked Fox started just a year ago and thanks to you - we are thriving and gearing up for year two.

The struggle has been real from creating quality products, sourcing ingredients, and managing the expectations of a new exciting queer brand. We have had our highs and lows throughout this year, and as a result we are better.

Sugar scrubs are a popular & environmentally great way to exfoliate your skin all over. Sugar is a gentler exfoliator than other options and is not made of plastic. Yes, we have to say that out loud because many skin care products now contain plastic beads in the scrubs to provide your exfoliation. This is an obvious issue for dumping more harmful chemicals into our waterways in addition to the issues related to rubbing plastic or silicone all over your body.  

What are sugar scrubs exactly? How does one properly use one? And what else do you need to know before making the plunge into the game-changing skin care trend of sugar scrubs? 

Clay masks are one of the most consistently popular skin care items available. Corporate overlords, influencers, models, & celebrities will often times use clay masks in their skin care routines because of how effective they can be.

• Clearing your skin
• Brightening your skin
• Reducing oily skin
• Hydrating dry skin
• Protecting you from breaking out
• Restoring skin balance
• Many clay masks have natural anti-microbial properties
• Restoring your skin's pH balance
• Preventing against skin diseses
• Oxygenating skin cells
• Regulating sebum production
• And many are completely natural & organic (always check ingredients)

Niacinamide sounds like something you wouldn't want anywhere near your face. How about if we called it Vitamin B-3? Vitamin B-3 is an essential nutrient that your skin, kidney, and brain needs. But there's more than a vitamin deficiency that this powerhouse superhero of an ingredient can do. Let's learn a bit about this critical ingredient that makes your favorite skin care work! 

 

Shea butter is fat that’s extracted from the nuts of the shea tree. It’s solid at warm temperatures and has an off-white or ivory color. Shea trees are native to West Africa, and most shea butter still comes from that region. Here at Wicked Fox we are proud to use organic shea butter that is benefiting local African communities. 

Shea butter has been used as a cosmetic ingredient for centuries. It is one of the worst kept secrets in skin care including anti-aging efforts to keep your skin looking the best possible.  Shea butter has a high concentration of vitamins and fatty acids — combined with its easy-to-spread consistency — make it a great product for smoothing, soothing, and conditioning your skin.
