Winter Woodland Body Oil
Picture it—a serene, misty evergreen forest blanketed in snow—a place where towering pines nearly blot out the endless stars in the sky, and the air is crisp and clean.
Sure, might not be reality for those of us living in the city, but we can pretend.
This Winter Woodland Bath & Body Oil brings that quiet, grounding feeling to your daily routine, transforming each use into a sensory escape to the stillness of the forest. Rich in nourishing, natural oils and infused with Earth’s Aromatique essential oils, this recipe leaves skin soft and hydrated with a phenomenally fresh woodsy aroma that lingers.
Carefully selected carrier oils—fractionated coconut, squalane, meadowfoam, and abyssinian—each add to a silky-smooth, non-greasy texture that absorbs into the skin and locks in moisture (essential during the driest winter months). Meadowfoam oil, known for skin-softening properties, and abyssinian, loved for its ability to mimic the skin’s natural oils, creates a balanced blend that feels luxurious yet lightweight. With the addition of a charming cedar sprig, each bottle is as beautiful to look at as it is to use.
Makes a lovely gift, but we won’t blame you if you keep it for yourself.
