Consumer Critique: EO Bath & Body

EO products (EO for essential oils) recently sent me some bath and body products to review - French lavender hand soap, lotion, and weightless moisture shampoo and conditioner. EO products are all free of synthetic colors or fragrances and harsh chemicals, and are manufactured in an organically certified facility. They make a wide variety of products to help keep you clean and healthy.

The four products I tried worked very well. My daughter really loved the scent (she likes anything scented right now, and loves soap) - she was washing her hands all the time with it! I found the scent a little bit strong, but in the shampoo and conditioner it actually mellowed out to a nice, unobtrusive smell after rinsing. The lotion was the only thing that ended up being a little bit too strong-scented for me, and even that was fine after a little bit. All four products performed very well at their assigned tasks. The lotion held up really well, and the shampoo and conditioner were easy to rinse out of my hair.

To test your health smarts, here's the EO Healthy Hands Quiz - how well will you do?
