Inspiration for Leo Season

Projects and products for Leo season

If you were born between July 23rd and August 22nd, congratulations, you’re a Leo!

Leos are born at the height of summer, and they tend to be whimsical, spontaneous, and playful. While you might think that they would be noble and solemn, like the lion that represents them, instead they tend to be free spirited and exude positive vibes.

Leo is the fixed fire sign of the zodiac, and as such they tend to be quite stable and dependable, despite their spontaneity. 

Leos are confident and bold, and tend to be natural leaders. They’re comfortable in the spotlight; in fact they love being the center of attention. They tend to chase dreams until they catch them, determined and resolutely optimistic.

While these charismatic lions are a blast to be around, they may make themselves the center of attention a little too often. In fact, they can be quite self-focused. As a fixed sign, their steady nature can also manifest as stubbornness. They need to be patiently guided to evidence that will change their mind on something.

 

Colors for Leo season

When we think about colors for Leo season, we think about warm, bright colors that shine like the Leo personality.

Our yellow mica is rich and bright, rather than soft and delicate, though the strength of the color depends on how much you use in your project. Micas are some of our most versatile colorants, and can be used in almost any project. This warm yellow is perfect for Leo season, echoing their bold, confident demeanors.

If you’d like an all natural colorant, orange peel powder is a great one for Leo season. A warm orange that’s not too bright, but can produce rich colors in cold process soap and other projects, this colorant captures the Leo in their more peaceful moments.

Bold Leo fragrances

Boldness is the daily norm for Leos, so we’ve chosen some wonderful fragrances for your lion friends.

Lemon essential oil is an often overlooked fragrance that’s bright and crisp and clean. It inspires cheer in those who smell it, and it’s a great scent for starting out the day on a happy note. Cheerful, confident Leos will love this smell particularly, whether it’s used on its own, or adding bright and fruity notes to a fragrance blend.

We also chose our Ray of Sunshine Fragrance Oil. This fragrance is a blend of tart rhubarb, sweet fruit, and light florals. This smells like summer in a bottle, perfect for these summer babies. More complex than a single essential oil, this fragrance oil is both energizing and warm and relaxing, just like summer.

Perfect projects for Leos

Thinking about projects for Leo season, we wanted to highlight some of our best and brightest recipes for summer.
Our Ray of Sunshine Soap Project is a cold process soap recipe featuring our Ray of Sunshine Fragrance Oil. It’s colored with warm summer colors and with olive oil and avocado oil, it’s gonna be great for your skin, too. It’s a great pick-me-up for your morning shower.

We also love the Turmeric and Ginger Scrub Project for Leo season. Using sugar as a gentle exfoliator, it’s appropriate for your face and body. It’s colored with natural turmeric to product a bright, warm yellow-orange, and scented with spicy ginger essential oil. This scrub will leave you feeling fearless and ready to take on the world. Your skin will feel nice, too.

The best extras for Leos

Maybe you already have projects in mind for Leo season and just want to add that perfect little touch. These additives and extras will add a special something to your Leo season projects.

Our Gold Bursting Beads are versatile. In projects with a lot of water, they’ll swell and then burst on the skin, releasing a dose of moisturizing jojoba oil. In dry or oil-based products, like in scrubs or sprinkled on top of cold process soap, they act as a gentle exfoliator. They’re also a pretty, lustrous gold color and will look amazing in Leo projects.

Pomegranate flowers are one of our boldest botanicals. These dried flowers are a beautiful pinky red, and are gorgeous in bath salts or on the tops of cold process soap. If you want your Leo season projects to be the center of attention, try this show stopping botanical.
