For many years, I have been a fan of Crabtree & Evelyn. Their products are always top quality and most often very affordable.

This luxurious, foamy body wash cleans, nourishes, soothes and hydrates dull, tired skin. It contains no parabens, synthetic dyes or sodium lauryl sulfate. And with all the bad things out of it, there’s room for plenty of goodness!

To expand on my previous post about the healing benefits of aloe vera , I thought I’d scope out more aloe vera based products for you. This hard-working succulent can be found in lots of beauty and skin care product ingredient labels.
