EcoTools New Bath and Body Line
I was recently sent two of EcoTool’s products from their new bath and body line, the body lotion and the body mist, to review. I’ve honestly never used any other EcoTools products before so I was interested in checking these ones out.
First, a bit about the bath and body line. None of the products contain parabens or phthalates, and they aren’t tested on animals. The products are also 98% from nature. EcoTools has also committed to donating 1% of their annual sales to For The Planet – an alliance of businesses that donate to environmental organizations around the world. Now on to the reviews!
The “Sustainable Softness” body lotion left my skin feeling moisturized for hours – thanks to the shea butter. It absorbed into my skin quickly without leaving it feeling greasy or sticky. The lid is a flip top one so it’s great for throwing into your bag for moisturizing on the go – a must for me. The only drawback for me was that I found the scent a little overpowering when I first applied it – but it did fade a bit to a scent that I liked more. A friend of mine tried it and said she liked how it smelled so it really comes down to how sensitive of a nose you have.
The “Blooming Planet” body mist provides a burst of fresh floral scent when you put it on – it reminds me of being in the middle of a big garden full of blooming flowers. You don’t need a lot of it to smell great. It had great staying power too – I could still smell it on me hours later.
Would I buy either of these products? I would – they leave me feeling moisturized and smelling good while doing something good for the environment too. In addition I didn’t have any reactions from my sensitive skin.
The EcoTools bath and body line is available at Walgreens in the US and Wal Mart in Canada. The line ranges in price from $14.99 USD for the “Be Green, Live Clean” Body Care Set to $3.99 USD for the “Sustainable Softness” body lotion (the “Blooming Planet” body mist is $7.99 USD).
