CHICAGO (Oct. 28, 2020) — The Chicago-based, women-owned company, Scratch Goods, has amassed a cult-like following over the last five years for its natural, affordable skincare and minimalist aesthetic. Now with an expanded online inventory and virtual opportunities, the beloved local skincare brand is releasing their selections for gifting this holiday season.
Heavy face oil or face butter. For your sister who looks to you for advice on the best products: treat her to one of these winter best sellers. The heavy face oil is a nourishing blend of plant-based oils perfect for your winter skincare routine – made with meadowfoam seed oil to calm irritation and jojoba to smooth dry skin.

Virtual mask parties
For your college girlfriends, work clique, high school friends and family who you’re not traveling to see this year, or frankly anyone: impress them all by bringing everyone together and hosting a virtual mask party. Launched during the pandemic this past spring and totally unique to Scratch Goods, virtual parties provide that shared, communal experience you’ve been missing these last few months — plus an opportunity to dedicate time to self care. Gather your group and set a date, then Scratch Goods will ship product kits to each participant so you can all mix your mask together in the comfort of your own homes, led by a Scratch Goods team member via Zoom. We recommend booking these parties three weeks in advance; contact party@scratchgoods.com for pricing and availability.
Baby kits
For the new mom in your life: everything she needs for herself and the babe is available in the baby kit. The best-selling baby oil doubles as a mom oil as well.

About Scratch Goods
Scratch Goods began out of a personal need for simple, natural, affordable skincare. What started as a kitchen project and Etsy shop by co-founders and high school friends, Maureen and Elizabeth, launched into a successful full-service brick-and-mortar shop in 2015.
Since then, the pair has expanded their all-natural product line, including launching mask bar, hosting wellness classes, private events and all new virtual experiences.
Their original philosophy for product development remains the same today: food-grade ingredients that are safe enough to eat, fragrance from pure essential oils only, and zero water, eliminating the need for synthetic preservatives.
Scratch Goods is located in Chicago’s Fulton Market neighborhood at 847 W. Randolph and delivers products nationwide through the online shop. Follow on Instagram @scratchgoods.
