In the market for some new bath and body products? Care about the environment?
Insist on vegan and cruelty-free products? Want the companies you support to be truly ethically and environmentally conscious?
As a consumer, it is easy to feel there is an surfeit of "Natural Body Products", but when the above criteria is applied, the list shortens tremendously. A new addition to this select list should definitely be Bazil Essentials.
Bazil Essentials is a small company based out of Pismo Beach, CA.
Unlike many other “caring” companies who claim to produce "natural body products", Bazil Essentials truly walks the walk.
All products are made in small batches with organic natural ingredients & scented with essential oils.
They are certified through the Vegan Cosmetics Organization, and are truly cruelty-free.
100% recycled paper is used in all marketing and boxing materials, and only re-used peanuts are used for packing (helping to continue the chain of recycling and reusing them). Committed to continue increasing their earth friendly consciousness, they will purchase biodegradable peanuts as the growth of their company requires more peanuts than they can reuse and recycle. They also offset carbon usage by purchasing carbon credits through Native Energy. Carbon credits fund the creation of clean and renewable energy, creating a completely self-sustainable energy source. All of the energy their company and employees use (production, shipping, etc.) is completely offset! (More info on becoming Certified Climate Cool on their webpage.)
Finally, their labels and hang tags will soon be produced by a company using 100% recycled paper, as well as soy based ink.
But as great as this company’s reputation sounds, their products are even better!!
Their bath and body line is very extensive and wide-ranging: Olive Oil Soaps (Cherry Almond is terrific), Organic Body Washes, Salt and Creme Scrubs (Apricot smoothes skin, and check out the Foot Remedy Scrub!), Bath Oils, Salts, and Teas (yes, large tea bags filled with therapeutic flowers, herbs and oils for a luxurious bathing experience) are just a few examples.
I have seldom smelled such heavenly lotions, with scents that are so satisfyingly long-lasting. All products are produced with natural and organic ingredients, and as they are scented with essential oils, have wonderful Aromatherapy benefits as well.
The lotions slide on smoothly, and penetrate deeply without a thick or greasy aftereffect. Try the sublime Sweet Almond Jojoba Lotion (jojoba having natural fine-line-smoothing properties), Vanilla Lavender Jojoba Relaxation Blend, or Jasmine Rose Jojoba Lotion.
They also offer candles, all of which are soy based (instead of petroleum based paraffin wax candles), burn very cleanly and are nontoxic. As with all other products, the fragrances are lush and delicious (Ginger Orange, Peppermint Eucalyptus, and Lavender Rose are three of the twelve available).
If you find a fragrance you especially like, it is possible to layer, as similar oils are used in many products (for example: Light a Bitter Almond Soy Candle, run a relaxing bath scented with sweet almond oil and vanilla, soap up with Cherry Almond Olive Oil Soap or Sweet Almond Organic Body Wash and finally, soften skin post-bath with Sweet Almond Jojoba Lotion). HEAVEN!
The only item that might trouble you is choosing what to try first! Prices are competitive, and affordable. Bazil Essentials Natural Bath and Body Products are carried in some California spas, resorts, boutiques, and salons, as well as on the web.
