Jenulence – Giveaway!

January 18, 2010 by Jessica Dougherty 103 Comments

Jenulence is a small, family-owned company that creates non-toxic mineral makeup that is pure, fresh and natural. I had the opportunity to sample some of Jenulence’s unique products, including two facial cleansers and a mineral makeup set. The Antioxidant Green Tea Foaming Cleanser is very gentle and does not contain synthetic detergents or emulsifiers. It left my skin feeling fresh and cleaner than it had been in quite some time. The mineral makeup was similar to others I am familiar with, but a bit finer resulting in a smoother appearance. If you’re interested in sampling some of the mineral products, Jenulence offers sample kits that are very affordable. The company also creates products for men, including Beard Shampoo and Deodorizing Antibacterial Foot Powder.

*GIVEAWAY – Closed – Congrats to the winner, Jamie Wity!: Jenulence is giving away a 5-piece Mineral Makeup Gift Set to one lucky winner. To enter, visit the Jenulence website and leave a comment on this post noting a product you would most like to try. Please leave a link to your blog or an email address so I can contact the winner. The giveaway will end at Midnight EST, Monday, January 25.

    Hey everyone! I would really enjoy having the 5-Piece Brush Set in Faux Leather Case, because I don’t have good cosmetic brushes at home, and they are so hard to find! Otherwise, I would like to try the Satin Collection Blush Sample Set. They all look amazing!

  9. Mimi says

    January 18, 2010 at 10:58 am

    this stuff all looks fantastic, I’m sharing with my Mother then we will be ordering together, I’m sure.
    I would really love to try some of the moisturizers, considering the time of year and the un-natural cold we have been exposed to, my skin is a lot more dry than usual.

    I have sensitive eyes, so the eye colors with no additives, fillers, etc would be perfect for me! I love how you can apply them wet or dry for different looks. This looks fantastic – thanks for the chance to win!

  20. Joyce Hoch says

    January 18, 2010 at 12:41 pm

    I must confess. I love every thing I use, so it’s very difficult to select a favorite.
    I recently purchased the Petroleum-Free Jelly. It is fantastic. It smooths and softens the skin, and puts shine and body into the hair without allegens. What more could you want. I took it to my hairdresser
    who loved it’s setting qualities. And thank you, Jenulence for suggesting the Wild Orchid blush. Gorgeous and natural looking. I’d love more and eye makeup to compliment.

  21. Jenn@FFP says

    January 18, 2010 at 12:48 pm

    I’ve never used mineral makeup before so I’d love to give the sampler kit for fair skin a try!

  22. Christy says

    January 18, 2010 at 1:04 pm

    Hi. I’m looking for a great concealer – the dark circles under my eyes make me look like I’m at death’s door (I’m very fair skinned). I love that you carry the little sifter jars! They’re so hard to find and the little town I live in has virtually no resources … for anything.*sigh* Thank you for a chance to try your products.

  23. Kathleen Redman says

    January 18, 2010 at 1:23 pm

    I would love to try everything you make, but for this comment, I will limit myself to the Pearl Concealer. My face has blotches of red and I haven’t been able to do anything about it without putting on concealer with a putty knife! I would so like to find something lighter and easier and better for my face.

  24. Tana says

    January 18, 2010 at 1:26 pm

    I think I would like to try her skincare line. Thanks for the chance to win!

  25. Melissa K says

  26. Carol Votta says

    January 18, 2010 at 1:47 pm

    Thanks!

  32. Michelle M. says

    January 18, 2010 at 5:49 pm

    I must agree with others..it is so hard to choose, everything looks fabulous. I am really interested in the Silver Sparkle Body Shimmer Powder. It sounds like it would add some glamour. I like that. 😉
    Thank you for the giveaway opportunity!

  33. Gaby says

    January 18, 2010 at 6:46 pm

    I’ve tried the Satin Blush Collection (sample kit) and loved it, most blush colors that were to dark for me are currently my daily eye-shadows and all work great as multitasking products.
    I’d love to try the under eye concealer for dark circles, since I’m still searching for the perfect color of under eye concealer.

  34. Jill Gibbs says

    January 18, 2010 at 7:11 pm

  35. Tame Adams says

    January 18, 2010 at 7:30 pm

    Hello!! I adore all of your products 🙂 I’d love to try the 7 piece Makeup gift set (for dark skin), mainly because I’ve never been able to get full sizes of ANY makeup before (unless on clearance because of budgeting), and I’d like to *do* more with my makeup instead of powder & some lipstick 🙂

    Thanks so much for the giveaway opportunity!!

  36. Natalie says

    January 18, 2010 at 9:45 pm

    I’d love to try the Flower Essence Facial Cleanser or the Antioxidant Green Tea Foaming Cleanser. I want to find a really good facial cleanser! thanks for the entry 🙂

  37. Vanessa Casillas says

    January 19, 2010 at 12:50 am

    So many things I’d love to treat myself to! I’d most like to try the Soothing Oil for Acne Rosacea Skin. Sounds like it would heal my skin that is exposed to too many harsh elements at work (dirty, dusty construction sites).

  38. Nan says

    January 19, 2010 at 3:36 am

    Too hard to decide for sure. I would say the sample kit, the mineral foundation, or the the Vanilla Orange DMAE Lip Balm. Thanks for the chance to win.

  39. Renee Wilkey says

    January 19, 2010 at 4:31 am

    I would love to try the mineral make up. Course the facial cleansers sound really yummy too!

  40. Jd says

    January 19, 2010 at 4:36 am

    I’d be interested in trying the soothing oil for acne skin. I’ve been looking for a good moisturizer!

  41. Jessica says

    January 19, 2010 at 7:02 am

    I think the under eye concealer is what I probably need, but the gold body shimmer is what I want! What a great product line.

  42. Debbie Coe says

    January 19, 2010 at 7:12 am

    I’d love to try the mineral makeup (base/foundation) since I’ve tried two other mineral makeups and have loved them. It would be nice to try something from a family owned business instead of a big corporation.

  43. Hilda says

    January 19, 2010 at 7:27 am

    I would love to try the mineral foundation concealer, I’m always looking for a good natural concealer!

  44. Sarah says

    January 19, 2010 at 8:12 am

    I hope I will! I love mineral makeup!

  45. Heidi says

    January 19, 2010 at 9:58 am

    The Mineral Makeup: Coral Satin Blush and the mineral foundation for medium olive skin sound perfect for me!

  49. Lili Plotkin says

    January 19, 2010 at 2:21 pm

    There’s nothing more I love than a good, organic extract for the skin. My choice would be the Organic Unrefined Camellia Seed Oil–I have always had good skin thanks to my mom, but it has trouble struggling through the brutal New York winters. Moisture, protection, and 100% natural goodness is right up my alley!

  50. Jill says

    January 19, 2010 at 2:54 pm

    Would love to try the cleansers and bath oil products.

DIY Sore Muscle Relief Balm with Essential Oils – Natural Comfort in a Jar

When your back’s tight, your shoulders are screaming, and even stretching feels like too much effort—sometimes, you just need a little help in a jar.

Enter this soothing DIY Sore Muscle Relief Balm. It’s warming, nourishing, and infused with essential oils known for easing tension and boosting circulation. Whether you’re dealing with post-gardening aches, a long day on your feet, or that stubborn neck kink from sleeping funny (again), this balm is a natural way to say goodbye to muscle misery.

I keep a tin of this on my bedside table and another in the kitchen drawer. It’s a go-to remedy in our house for everything from growing pains to post-walk stiffness—and trust me, with a big dog like Aloo dragging me around, I know sore calves!

Why Make Your Own Muscle Balm?

Commercial rubs often contain synthetic fragrances, petroleum byproducts, or ingredients that can be too harsh on sensitive skin. When you make your own, you’re in full control—and it doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming.

This DIY balm is:

  • Petroleum-free and non-toxic 
  • Packed with anti-inflammatory oils 
  • Warming without the burn 
  • Gentle on sensitive or mature skin 
  • Perfect for gifting 

Ingredients You’ll Need

Base Oils & Butters:

  • ¼ cup shea butter – rich in vitamins and helps deeply hydrate skin 
  • 2 tbsp beeswax pellets – thickens the balm and adds a protective barrier 
  • ¼ cup coconut oil – light carrier oil with natural anti-inflammatory properties 
  • 2 tbsp magnesium oil (optional but recommended for extra relief) 

Essential Oils Blend:

  • 10 drops peppermint essential oil – cooling and refreshing 
  • 8 drops eucalyptus essential oil – helps reduce inflammation 
  • 6 drops rosemary essential oil – boosts circulation 
  • 5 drops lavender essential oil – calming and soothing 
  • 4 drops ginger essential oil – gentle warming effect (skip if sensitive to heat) 

Note: Always do a patch test before slathering it on.

How to Make It – Step-by-Step

  1. Melt Your Base
    In a double boiler (or a heat-safe bowl over simmering water), melt together the shea butter, beeswax, and coconut oil until fully liquified. 
  2. Add Magnesium Oil (Optional)
    Remove from heat and stir in magnesium oil if using. This may cause some bubbling—that’s normal! 
  3. Cool Slightly
    Let the mixture cool for a couple of minutes. You want it warm but not hot to avoid damaging the essential oils. 
  4. Stir in Essential Oils
    Add your essential oils and mix thoroughly with a wooden stick or glass stirrer. 
  5. Pour into Tins or Jars
    Carefully pour the balm intometal balm tins or glass jars. Let cool uncovered until set. 
  6. Label & Store
    Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. It should last 6–12 months. 

How to Use Your Homemade Muscle Rub

  • Massage a small amount into sore muscles after a shower or bath. 
  • Use it before bed to help loosen tight areas and promote deeper sleep. 
  • Rub into feet and calves after long days of standing or walking. 
  • Warm it between your hands for easier spreading on cold days. 

Bonus tip: Rub a bit onto temples and neck during tension headaches—peppermint works wonders.

Customize Your Balm

Want to make it your own? Here are a few add-ins:

  • Arnica oil – great for bruises and swelling 
  • Cayenne pepper oil – for extra heat (only a drop or two!) 
  • Menthol crystals – adds a deep cooling sensation, use sparingly 
  • Comfrey-infused oil – old-school remedy for joint pain and strains 

Gift It!

This balm makes a thoughtful gift for:

  • Gym-goers 
  • Gardeners 
  • Grandparents 
  • Stressed-out teachers 
  • Care packages for new mums or anyone in recovery 

Pair it with a cozy pair of socks or a DIY rice heat pack for a full self-care bundle.

Making your own sore muscle balm isn’t just about saving money or going natural—it’s about putting a little love and intention into your self-care. This balm smells divine, feels luxurious, and actually works. No mystery ingredients. No overpriced tubes. Just natural, handmade relief whenever you need it.
