Crabtree and Evelyn Aromatherapy Distillations: Body Wash

Aromatherapy Distillations- care for the senses and skin with 100% essential oil blends, beautifully crafted with natural ingredients from around the world

Crabtree & Evelyn introduces Aromatherapy Distillations, a new body care and home collection that combines the benefits of 100% essential oils with natural ingredients gathered from around the world to create a holistic approach to care for the senses and skin.

A collection of exceptional quality, Aromatherapy Distillations was created in a unique collaboration with an aromatherapist and international perfumers. Following aromatherapy principles, they created beautifully crafted essential oil blends including lavender and rosewood, lemon and coriander and eucalyptus and lime that also incorporate oils rarely used in aromatherapy – such as violet, tonka, galbanum, and amyris. Each product provides a holistic approach to both the care of the senses and skin. Essential oil blends – relaxing, revitalizing, and purifying - delight and treat the senses. Natural ingredients - such as acai from Brazil, argan from Morocco, samphire from England and marula oil from Africa – have been specially selected and gathered from around the world to create body care to benefit and treat the skin.

Aromatherapy Distillations is grouped into three sensory benefits – Relaxing, Revitalizing, and Purifying. Each product is a sensory experience – created to help women enjoy moments of serenity, energy, and clarity.

The Relaxing range creates a tranquil haven for the spirit and skin with bath and body treatments.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
