I heart EO (sounds like a good band name)

It never ceases to amaze me how many organic, natural, eco-friendly beauty products are on the market. Vegan bath and body lines are ubiquitous! EO is amongst the many amazing brands that fit the bill. EO is a small, family owned and operated business located in Marin County, CA. They are cruelty-free, paraben and synthetic free, and they are all about using sustainable, organic ingredients and recycled packaging. EO takes pride in using herbs, essential oils and organic natural ingredients in their goodies. They have a complete line of affordable bath & body products including soaps, lotions, perfumes, shaving creams and hand sanitizers.

My favorite EO products:

Time Out Coconut and Vanilla Bubble Bath ($10.79): There's nothing more relaxing than a hot bath full of bubbles. This deliciously fragrant bubble bath has EO's special Coconut Oil Cleansing Complex which one of the gentlest, richly foaming formulas sans the nasty sodium lauryl sulfates, which are found in most conventional bubble baths. Time Out's key ingredients are vanilla extract, tangerine and coconut extract - a spectacular combo, effective for brightening your mood and relieving stress. Never underestimate the power of aromatherapy and essential oils. They can turn a poopy day into a magical one.
EO has a special promotion this month: 15% off bubble baths. Go to town and try all of their scents: Hinoki & Ginger, Rose & Chamomile, Rose Geranium & Citrus, French Lavender, Juniper & Lemon, Ylang Ylang & Cedarwood, Nighty Nite and Be Well.

Nighty Nite Bath Salts ($3.99): Having trouble sleeping? Nighty Nite bath salts will help you drift off into slumberland with ease. This all-natural bath salt medley contains Himalayan pink salt (formed over 250 million years ago, packed with 84 rich elements and minerals), California sun dried sea salt (rich in calcium, potassium and magnesium), pure organic blue chamomile and lavender, both of which soothe your body and calm your mind. These bath salts have amazing detoxification properties and they help stimulate circulation as well. All of this for $4 - I'll take it!


Chocolate & Mint Body Lotion ($8.99): I saved the best for last! This lotion smells like a frickin' cookie. In fact, if you're on a diet, you might want to go with the French Lavender or Jasmine scent. I personally like smelling like dessert as often as I can. This quick absorbing, yummy smelling lotion contains: Cocoa Absolute, which is loaded with antioxidants and flavonoids that restore and renew skin, peppermint essential oil which revitalizes and supports health, oat betaglucan which moisturizes and soothes irritated skin, rice proteins which help fight wrinkles, Vitamins E & A which improve skin's elasticity with potent antioxidants, mango seed butter and organic jojoba oil that help moisturize and protect the skin and organic calendula, chamomile and white tea which tie everything together with extra nourishment.
