The Body Deli – fresh food for the skin

Inspired by the concept of natural living and driven by the science of “living foods,” The Body Deli’s products are designed to provide nutrition for the skin - inside and out. All of the products are handmade in small batches and incorporate raw, fresh, natural and organic ingredients, including organic yogurt, amino acids, fresh fruit and vegetables, and all-natural plant oils. The result is nutrient-rich products for the body, face and hair that deliver fresh vitamins, enzymes and minerals at their peak potency.



Luscious Lorraine's is a regular participant in our local farmers' market – both as a buyer and as a resource. Chef Lorraine often presents new dishes at the demo kitchen, is happy to answer all your questions and you might get a ticket for a free smoothie here at the cafe.

The Palm Desert Farmer's Market is held Wednesdays from 8:00 am to 12:30 pm, at the Palm Desert Visitor Center, 72-567 Highway 111.
