Aromatic Hand and Body Creams
Garden of Eve Skincare

Here are four hand and body creams that each inspire, heal, soothe, calm, lift spirits, refresh…and of course moisturize!

Each one has the same wonderful base of moisturizers, but then, different combinations of essential oils are added to create distinctly different moisturizing experiences! This is fun!

Let’s start with ‘Mountain Essence’. ALL of our team loved this one! Men were seen to be sneaking away with it, and women were grabbing it back from them! The aroma is a walk in the woods when pine needles are crushed underfoot. Walk up to a pine tree and put your nose to the bark: that is the ‘essence’ of this wonderful hand and body lotion experience. The ingredients are: the Garden-of-Eve Moisturizer Cream with essential oils of cedarwood, pine, cypress, spruce, fir, juniper, lemongrass and frankincense. As you can see, the aroma is woodsy, woody, rich and warm. The essential oils are gently healing and soothing in that some people report that sore muscles are not quite so sore when this lotion is massaged into them. Men as well as women LOVE this lotion!

‘Joy to the Heart’ is such a light-hearted, walk-in-a-sunny-garden experience! What a lovely lotion to put on your body or hands on a summer day…and especially on a bleak winter one! Oh, but this smells so fresh and natural and innocent and is perfect for bringing joy to your heart! This is not a heavy floral, but a delightfully spring-fresh-day experience. As you can see, the essential oils give you a great indicator of how cheerful this aromatic experience is: Garden-of-Eve Moisture Cream with essential oils of bergamot, ylang ylang, geranium, rosewood, lemon, mandarin, jasmine, chamomile, palmarosa and rose. Note that some of these essential oils are ‘sun sensitive’ so if you live in a sunny area, use with discretion when outdoors all day! The women loved this lotion…and the men were attracted to them like bees!

Whew! After all that fresh breeze, bees and flowers action, this ‘Peace and Calm’ lotion is a meditative respite! This is a simple fragrance that would almost make you think that the moisturizing benefits of the lotion are as minimal as the fragrance, but NO! Eve still uses her wonderfully light but rich formulation as the base of this spare and calm essential oil blend. The ingredients are Garden-of-Eve Moisturizer Cream and essential oils of tangerine, orange, ylang ylang, patchouli and blue tansey. Isn’t that lovely and serene? Remember thought that even though the fragrance is lean and light, that the moisturizing effects aren’t! Both men and women liked this calm fragrance…

Of course, we have the ‘classic’ fragrance of ‘Lavender’ also! Did you know that there are all kinds of lavender essential oils? Each one has a distinctive fragrance and the one used in this body and hand lotion literally smells like fresh lavender buds! You know that slightly herbal, fresh smell that’s not too sweet with almost a drop of lemon in it? That’s what this lotion smells like! Even a man could use this as it has a more fresh herbal scent than a sweet scent. The ingredients are the Garden-of-Eve Moisturizer Cream and lavender essential oil. That’s all! Lavender has been used for centuries as a skin soother and healer, so when your skin is irritated, be sure and reach for this one.

Each lotion is available in a 3.3-ounce size. Pick a few of them and choose which one you will use according to your mood, the season, time of day and the needs of your skin. What a great idea: a way to enhance your mood as you moisturize your skin! Zing!

Please note that each one of these delightful and unique creams is available in the regular moisturizing strength…or a PLUS version! The PLUS version has additional skin softening and soothing oils of calendula, rose hips and sea buckthorn berry. If you live in a hot dry or a dry cold climate…you may want to go for the PLUS formulation. It will still have the same aromatherapy benefits and fragrances: just more heavy-duty moisturizing benefits for your overly dry skin.
