Fabula Nebulae Celebrates Online Shop’s Two-Year Anniversary, Launches Maine Gift Box of Sought-After Natural Skincare Products
A “love letter to Maine” is what Fabula Nebulae (www.fabneb.com) calls its new Maine gift box — a collection of popular, all-natural products that has something for just about everyone. The release of the gift box also coincides with the online shop’s second anniversary. A woman-owned family business dedicated to providing consumers with safe, natural, handcrafted and unique skincare products, Fabula Nebulae has already cultivated a loyal following across the U.S. and Canada. “After using them personally and having friends and family test them, we are convinced that these are natural, nourishing skin balms of superior quality,” – Beth Santmyire-Rosenberger, MD PhD, Board Certified dermatologist.
Maine Gift Box by Fabula Nebulae (PRNewsfoto/Fabula Nebulae) The Maine gift box is a decorative birch wood box in the shape of the Pine Tree State, and evocative of its blueberry hills and rocky coastline. Each gift box contains the following items:
- Bath Soak with Maine sea salt
- Gentle Face Wash with milk and blueberries
- Honey and Herb lip butter
- Salve to Quiet the Storm
- Desert Rain hydrating skin salve
- Natural unscented candle
- Kitchen and Garden hand scrub
- Calming lavender sugar scrub
- Muscle and Joint soother
Since opening for business in August 2015, Fabula Nebulae has shipped over 6,000 products and built relationships with over a dozen retailers. The Grapefruit and Ginger lip butter was recently named a finalist in the CertClean Clean Beauty Awards. Customer comments and reviews have been equally enthusiastic on their website and on Amazon.com, with Fabula Nebulae earning 99% 5-star reviews.
“This lip balm is incredible,” raves Morgan. “It got me through winter and is incredibly moisturizing. It also smells wonderful, but then I love the smell of citrus (mine is in grapefruit), and it has a glossy finish to it so it’s like two products in one.”
Fabula Nebulae believes strongly in giving back and helping make the world a better place; to that end, the company contributes to the mission of Bee Informed Partnership, a nonprofit organization working to find causes and solutions for bee population issues. The company is a member of “Maine Made: America’s Best,” an association celebrating and promoting the state’s tradition of superior craftsmanship, as well as the Handcrafted Soap and Cosmetic Guild.
Looking ahead, Fabula Nebulae plans to move to a larger space by year’s end. The company also looks to hire its first part-time employees. Several new products are now in development that will likely be released by early 2018. These products include a magnesium-based deodorant for highly sensitive skin, a tattoo salve, and an anti-chafing balm. A more long-term objective for Fabula Nebulae is FDA approval of the new facility, which would enable development of a wider range of all-natural products.

Enigmatic Visions: Beauty in the Details

About the Exhibition:
Agora Gallery presents Enigmatic Visions, a new collective exhibition that is singular in its attention to the subtlety that can be found in contemporary art. While many equate progress with simply making the next piece bigger and louder, that is not the beginning and end of the state of today’s art landscape. Though the eleven artists on display in Enigmatic Visions come from all corners of the globe, each brings out the magic in more modest concerns.
This shared interest in the small scale can manifest in many different ways. It can be a study of physically empty places: flat, rocky plains or the lonely, mysterious seas. It can be zooming in on a single object for an updated take on the still life. This is a recurring motif in the exhibition, from a series of austere black-and-white photos of flower blossoms to intensely focused images of the body in motion. It can even be a small psychological space, such as the depiction of a single figure or an isolated group of people.
Enigmatic Visions opens July 28 and runs through August 17, 2017 with an opening reception Thursday, August 3 from 6 – 8 pm. Entrance is free.

About Little GoodallLittle Goodall is created by artist and designer Molly Goodall. While a stay-at-home mother, Goodall was frustrated when her two-year old son refused to wear the hoods on his coats. Searching for a creative solution, she designed and made the original Ferocious Felt Lion coat to inspire him to put his hood up in the cold. Friends commented, orders were placed, and Little Goodall was born! Molly is also the author of the creative sewing book Wild Things to Sew and Wear, published in the fall of 2014.
