Out in Palm Desert, California, there’s a body-product shop called the Body Deli that’s set up like a real deli. Refrigerated cases hold many the fresh scrubs, masques, and hair products. The “cosmetic chef” mixes all the products in the store in small batches — using lots of local, organic ingredients like fresh fruits, veggies, and natural plant oils (Organic yogurt, fresh green papaya, juicy blueberries, spirulina, manuka honey and grapefruit) — before packaging them in recyclable containers. Many of the products are shipped across the country on ice and in a reusable cooler bag. They all come with an expiration date and are good for about a year. If you or someone you knows like to pamper their biggest sexual organ — the skin — these prods make pretty cool gifts.
