Earth's Naturals Bath and Body: What I Use To Moisturize
Dec 29 '06 (Updated Mar 15 '07)
The Bottom Line I hope you'll try out Earth's Naturals Bath and Body. Besides being healthy for your skin, it offers an amazing variety of non-chemical, lovely scents.
This wonderful enterprise is right here in my neck of the woods, Lincoln, Nebraska, although inconveniently way across town. A girlfriend knew its founder, Kathy Rowbal, and so for the past several months or so I’ve only used body lotions from Earth’s Naturals Bath and Body. My skin wasn’t in bad shape before since I used coconut oil on it, but the deliciously scented lotions have absorbed much better and made me look less shiny, haha. Rowbal uses many great oils besides coconut from around the world. Here’s what you’ll read on the first page of her website:
All products are tested and tried by us or other willing individuals (NEVER TESTED ON ANIMALS). All recipes are tried and tested, reformulated and tested again until each product is the best it can be and are made in small batches to ensure you’re getting a high quality product. We use only the highest quality oils, butters, fine essential and high quality fragrance oils. None of our products are made from synthetic or petroleum oils such as mineral oil or propylene glycol which does not allow the skin to breathe and can clog pores. We only use a 1% paraben and formaldehyde free preservative in our products (this is to protect against bacteria, molds and fungus).
Our products contain no lanolin, which is a wax derivative of sheep’s wool, and can be allergy-causing and/or comedogenic. Our products contain no SD-Alcohol or formaldehydes which are commonly used in other brands of skin products and could cause drying of the skin.
**Our products may contain nut oils, but can be made without upon request.
I’ve used many different scented lotions, but have over eighty more to choose from, I think! I’m not big on overpowering scents and have chosen lighter, more refreshing scents, but you will find very fruity, spicy, musky and minty scents as well. Here’s a sample of the ones I’ve used and would like to:
Amber, black raspberry and vanilla, buttermilk and honey, eucalyptus, frankincense and myrrh (great for this season!), fresh waterfall mist, green tea and cucumber, Hawaiian white ginger, moonlight path, rice flower and shea, santirini, wild rose oak, white tea and ginger (I requested this one made)
Earth’s Naturals make more than lotions. Rowbal gave me free samples of coconut-scented lip balm, shea butter and a coconut-scented lotion bar. The shea butter absorbs even better and my skin feels more silky. The bar is convenient when I don’t have the lotion nearby and can be carried on me. I like the lip balm, but it works so well I hardly need to use it, heh. You can get them in different scents like the lotions, whatever you want, because Rowbal aims to please.
Products made by Earth’s Naturals Bath and Body are lotions for hand and body, body butter, whipped butter, shea butter, body and lip scrubs (lip???), balms and salves, lotion bars, bath salts, gift sets and now gift certificates on my request. I gave four friends certificates for Christmas.
It’s a fascinating site that gives you descriptions of each scent, ingredients in and descriptions of all products. I’ve never heard of some of the essential oils used. The prices are very reasonable for the quality you’re getting and because a little bit will go further than cheap, inferior-quality products. Your sensitive skin will thank you too.
The website is earthsnaturalsbathandbody.com. I’ve never used shipping or bought online, but you shouldn’t have a problem, but I wouldn’t expect immediate shipping as she and a partner make the products according to your wishes. I’m sorry I didn’t write this before Christmas, but maybe you can still think of a friend who needs a gift certificate or gift set? I hope you’ll check out the site.
