Crabtree and Evelyn Aromatherapy Distillations: Conditioning Body Lotion and Refreshing Body Lotion

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. A calming blend that features pure Lavender and Rosewood essential oils eases the senses while natural ingredients such as argan oil, evening primrose, milk proteins, lavender buds, and chamomile help comfort and condition the skin.

For the relaxing home, create a soothing atmosphere to calm the spirit with a relaxing essential oil blend of Lavender, Vanilla, and Cardamom. Products include Gentle Cream Body Wash, Soothing Body Lotion, Floral Body Smoother, Skin Softening Milk Bath, Comforting Night Cream, Essential Oil Blend x 8 vials, Candle and Diffuser.

The Revitalizing range helps revive and energize the spirit with revitalizing bath and body treatments. A refreshing blend of invigorating Lemon & Coriander, spearmint and mandarin essential oils work to refresh and energize the senses, while botanicals of acai extract, guava, coconut oil, tiare flower, and ginger revitalize and revive the skin.

For the Revitalizing home, help create an uplifting atmosphere with Lemon & Spearmint, sweet orange and clove essential oil blend. Products include Skin Conditioning Body Wash, Conditioning Body Lotion, Cleansing Body Polisher, Ultra Moisturizing Body Butter, Skin Polishing Ritual Kit, Essential Oil Blend x 8 vials, Candle and Diffuser.

At Whom You Know, our panel of experts reviewed these lovely lotions, which go nicely with the body washes and body butters from this line, already evaluated:

CONDITIONING BODY LOTION With Revitalizing Lemon & Coriander Essential Oils

8.5 fl oz/$19.50

Energize your spirit and senses throughout the day with their blend of Revitalizing essential oils - featuring lemon, coriander, galbanum, and oakmoss. Help improve skin suppleness with coconut oil and tiare flower.

Our Panel Thought:

"This has a very clean, slightly lemony & herbal scent that is very crisp. It's in a light lotion form that, along with the scent, may seem more suited for someone who doesn't have dry skin, but surprisingly it provides enough moisture to my slightly parched skin & left it very soft."

"I would recommend this conditioning body lotion for after a day in the water or in the sun. It added moisture to my parched skin and healed any dry spots. I also liked its light scent and it nicely moisturized well without being too thick."

"I loved the texture and the scent!"

"Distillations Conditioning Body Lotion with revitalizing lemon and coriander essential oils: has a pleasant smelling lotion for daily use."

The bottom line from Peachy Deegan: This lovely lemony smell is distinct without being too much of a commercial lemon-scent. The classiness this unique lemon fragrance leaves is complimented by the rich texture of the lotion. Whom You Know recommends this product.

REFRESHING BODY LOTION With Purifying Eucalyptus & Lime Essential Oils

8.5 fl oz/$19.50

The gel-textured lotion is more of a skin-conditioning product than a lotion. Lightweight, it absorbs easily into the skin leaving it skin feeling conditioned and toned. Cucumber and lemongrass extracts help to clear the pores and clarify the skin. Our Purifying essential oil blend of eucalyptus and lime with grapefruit and rosemary helps to clear the senses and stays with you throughout the day.

Our Panel Thought:

"It really clears the senses while you are applying it to the skin. It leaves the skin soft and silky smooth...yet the eucalyptus aroma does not linger too long. I love it!"

"Distillations Refreshing Body Lotion with purifying eucalyptus and lime essential oils - I used this after the body wash - it was crisp and refreshing and the scent lasted all day! I loved it."

"The revitalizing aroma has a very fresh feeling after use."

"I found the scent of this lotion to have an awakening mint kick to it. I used it in the morning and my skin and senses felt refreshed and I was energized to face the day."

"This is the perfect lotion for those muggy summer days when you want light moisturizing, but preferably with a refreshing and uplifting boost to it. That's thanks to the eucalyptus scent, which is lightened & sweetened just a touch with the pairing of lime essential oils. It is a great unisex scent."

The bottom line from Peachy Deegan: This product embodies refreshment, and is something I would consider a need for the summer season. The scent is pleasant without being overpowering and the Refreshing Body Lotion exceeded expectations, which are generally high.

"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!"
