I have long been a fan of EO (Essential Oil) products.  I discovered EO when I was searching Environmental Working Group’s cosmetic database Skin Deep for products that would not irritate my son’s sensitive skin.  EO was the answer, as they never use irritating sodium lauryl or laureth sulfates, and I quickly adopted the products into my preschool classroom, as well.

Recently, I was sent a box of products from EO.  Many of these products I had not tried before, but I was happy to see my favorite liquid hand soap was included. Here’s a list of all the great EO products I have tried and love, as well as their product descriptions:

• EO Hand Soap, French Lavender:  Naturally antiseptic & gentle with pure essential oils & plant extracts. Lavender fields forever. Lavender is revered as the most versatile and widely used of all the essential oils. It has a long history of use because of its medicinal & therapeutic properties.
