I love natural and eco-friendly items, especially when they fulfill all my personal needs. A new favorite in my bathroom? Beecology!

One of the hardest things for me to find is a body wash or soap that not only gets me wonderfully clean, but it also doesn’t leave a filmy residue… AND it’s good for the environment. Well, my new shower staple has arrived in the form of Honey & Oatmeal Morning Peppermint Soap! Here’s a little bit about how it came to be:

We seem to be a high-maintenance soap family. My Dad needs a soap for his sensitive skin, my daughter (if I reveal which daughter I’ll never be forgiven) needs a soap for eczema. My son, like most teens, needs one for acne. So I tinkered with many formulas to see if I could come up with one soap that suited everyone. The result is Beecology’s Oatmeal and Honey Soap. It has miraculous shea butter, renowned for its nourishing qualities; it has swirled honey for moisturizing, and the oatmeal has calming properties for problem skin. I told my family that the essential grapefruit and peppermint oils smelled wonderful – and they all agreed. That was a first.

It’s got the perfect amount of scrub, an AMAZING smell and leaves me feeling refreshed and clean in the morning. I think it’s my dream come true.

But, that’s not all Beecology does… they also make amazing lotions, hair products, and one of the most amazing lip balms I’ve ever tried: Buzz Balm!

Incorporating honey, peppermint (and even Acai!) into this luscious lip balm, you’ll be amazed at how many you’ll want! I have two (one in my purse and one in my bathroom for post-brushing moisturizing), but could use one at my desk (home AND work), in my car… and pretty much everywhere else!

So, if you’re looking for an eco-friendly solution to amazing skin (and lips!), look no further than Beecology. I’ve fallen in love… and I know you will too!
