It's about that time when knees begin flaking and elbows start cracking. Treat your dry skin to Minnesota-made Shea Cream from Galen Labs. It's made from wild-crafted Shea Butter from Ghana, chock full of vitamins, and is said to keep skin supple without clogging pores.

All we know is, it's like rich frosting for your itchy skin. It smells pleasant without being overwhelming, it's not too greasy and the jar is handsome enough for your counter, making it a lovely gift at $32. Galen Labs natural products, including facial serum, body scrubs and bath salts, are sold at several Twin Cities co-ops and boutiques including Mississippi Markets and Ecotique (1045 Grand Ave., St. Paul).
