Not to spam our own site, but in case you haven't read - Return to Eden Cosmetics now has a blog!  I wanted to provide an easy platform for customers to submit product reviews and stay up to date on all of the latest happenings without continually editing the website.   You can check the blog out here:  http://returntoedencosmetics.wordpress.com/

 
 
We love customer feedback, so please use the blog as an excuse to comment on our products.
 
 


We offer the following herbs in our Tea Time Bath Teas and as herbal infusions in our Body Butters and Lotion Bars.

Calendula is extremely soothing and is used topically to treat acne and control inflammation. It is also used in tinctures to speed wound healing. Calendula is gentle enough to use in products for babies and children. We make this infusion by steeping calendula petals in jojoba oil.

Chamomile, like calendula, is extremely soothing and also incredibly gentle. Soothes tired achy muscles, softens the skin, and instills relaxation. After a long hard day, nothing will help you de-stress quite as much as a chamomile tea bath.

NOTE: If you are allergic to ragweed, chamomile is not a good choice for you. Please choose one of our other herbs instead.

Lavender is known for its calming effect. Lavender offers anti-septic and anti-inflammatory properties providing relief of acne, insect bites, and sunburns. Lavender oil contains compounds which provide antioxidant protection and also helps tone skin. In spite of all its benefits, lavender should be used with caution if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.


Nothing makes you feel quite as extravagant as the smell of rose petals. The scent of rose petals elicit calm, but did you know rose water is considered anti-bacterial and antiseptic? And, rose evens blotchy skin tone, soothes inflamed tissue, and hydrates delicate skin. So, sit back, relax, and get ready for a reviving scentsational experience.

Peppermint is fantastic for stress relief and for decongestion. These tea baths are perfect for use during flu season especially. Combine peppermint with chamomile for an exceptionally soothing bath.

Milk/Honey/Yogurt Powders

What benefits does milk powder provide? Milk is loaded with hydroxy acids providing gentle exfoliation as you bathe. It also contains a hefty amount of protein making it excellent for use on your body and hair. It softens and smoothes skin and instills moisture as you bathe.

Honey is a natural humectant and is also anti-microbial. We recommend a combination of honey and milk in our bath teas for a doubly delightful bath.

Yogurt contains even more hydroxy acids than milk and is widely tauted for use in facial masks. Just as the milk powder, yogurt powder helps restore your natural glow.

Types of Powders we offer:

Whole Milk-Contains 28.5% milk fat. Basic, but fantastic.

Goat's Milk-Pasteurized spray dried goat's milk with 29.7% milk fat and 27% protein. Is it better than whole milk in our bath teas? You be the judge.

Coconut Milk-A fun alternative to regular milk, coconut milk has anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral properties when taken internally. Coconut milk powder still offers smoother more vibrant skin as you exit the tub.

Yogurt-This may just be the best powder for revitalizing tired, dry skin.

Honey-Delightful in products for babies and children, honey is soothing, anti-microbial, and helps heal minor scrapes and scars.

Lotion Bars

Body Bar (help us name it)
--Moisturizing lotion bar containing shea butter, cocoa butter, beeswax, and jojoba oil. Also contains Vitamin E. Lightly scented to your choice. This bar contains more beeswax than our soft body bar--seals in moisture.

Tropical Body Bar (help us name it)--Moisturizing lotion bar containing mango butter, avocado butter, cocoa butter, beeswax, avocado oil, coconut oil, and jojoba oil. Also contains Vitamin E. Lightly scented to your choice. This bar is equivalent to our body bar without the shea--wonderfully emollient and moisturizing.


Coffee Bar--
Bar containing coffee butter, cocoa butter, shea butter, beeswax, and jojoba oil. Also contains Vitamin E. Wonderfully fragrant--beautiful blend of coffee and cocoa smell. This bar is sold without fragrance only. This bar contains more beeswax than our soft coffee bar.

Gentle Body Bar--Part of our Skin Relief line and inspired by a customer whose daughter suffers eczema, this bar is very similar to our body bar.  It contains slightly less beeswax and is therefore a little softer than the body bar.  It also contains more shea butter, castor oil, and Vitamin E to nourish extremely dry cracked skin.  Shea butter is reported to help with eczema as is Vitamin E.  Pumpkin seed oil and grapeseed oil are added for their skin absorbing properties and high levels of vitamins.  We do not offer this bar in synthetic fragrances or fragranced with any essential oil that is a known photosensitizer.  We make no claims that it will relieve eczema, but if you are open to experimentation, this is our best shot in this category.  In general, for non-eczema sufferers, this is just a great all around lotion bar--especially if you intend to use it for babies or children.
 
You may want to check out our Skin Relief Sample/Gift Set as well--a description of this can be found on the Products page--once again, as a disclaimer, we do not guarantee any of the products in the Skin Relief Sample/Gift Set will relieve eczema, but based on our research, these products are our best attempt at helping to alleviate the symptoms of it.  As we get customer feedback of how well each works, we will be modifying this line.
 
NOTE: All of our lotion bars except the Tropical Lotion Bar contain shea butter. All of our lotion bars contain coconut oil.

Lotion bars are sold based on net weight. Choose from any design below (please take note of the size). You choose the color and the scent.  You can order the bars via our shopping cart:  www.returntoedencosmetics.com/zencart/

Fragrances


Synthetic Fragrances (some are self-explanatory, some need a bit of description):

Men's Fragrances--Some of these fragrances are unisex when combined with other scents. These are marked with an *. Some of our unisex blends are shown below in the Women's Fragrances section and in the Essential Oils section. All are marked with an *.

Blue Spruce*-Crisp clean scent, perfect for men, and a refreshing scent for winter. Blends well with lots of other scents, try with other evergreens or dare to try with any other men's fragrances.

Drakkar-Okay, so we do not keep up with the most up-to-date men's colognes on the market, but we hear Drakkar Noir by Guy Laroche is pretty popular. This fragrance mimics Drakkar Noir with its spicy blend of lavender, citrus, sandalwood, and amber. Beautiful alone, but blends well with almost everything. Try it with Tea or Samurai Warrior or Spirit of Sedona.

Glacier*-Amber and Mulberry form the base of this fragrance as Water Lily, Honeydew, Citrus, Black Currant, and Pineapple add substance and texture to this fragrance. It's absolutely divine and refreshing. Fantastic alone, muted in other fragrances. This is another fragrance that pairs well with absolutely everything, especially evergreen fragrances and Rain.

Mahogany
-A rich fragrance which whispers strength. Oakmoss, Cedar, and Apple Wood form the base of this fragrance which is lightened with Cardamom, Bergamot, and Vanilla Bourbon. While great by itself, this fragrance blends well with Spirit of Sedona and Silent Forest.

Rain-A rich fragrance which whispers strength. Oakmoss, Cedar, and Apple Wood form the base of this fragrance which is lightened with Cardamom, Bergamot, and Vanilla Bourbon. While great by itself, this fragrance blends well with Spirit of Sedona and Silent Forest.

Samurai Warrior-Rooted in woody base notes, this blend is topped with citrus and tropical fruit blends and florals. Well grounded yet balanced, just as a Samurai Warrior should be, this fragrance whispers strength. This fragrance blends well with Tea and Spirit of Sedona.

Silent Forest-Think of moonlight in an evergreen forest after a fresh snowfall. This scent captures that feeling and that smell. A clean, crisp scent, this fragrance is perfect by itself, but it blends well with almost everything. For a few ideas, try blending it with Blue Spruce, Wise Sage, or Mahogany.

Spirit of Sedona-There is something deep and mysterious about Sedona, Arizona. This fragrance captures that mystery and richness. With its notes of Bulgarian Rose, Sandalwood, Amber, and Bourbon Vanilla, this complex blend layers soft sensual notes atop masculine undertones forming an incredible robust fragrance. Spirit of Sedona is beautiful by itself but also blends well with Tea, Mahogany, and Samurai Warrior.

Tea-A rich blend of Tobacco and Tea leaves, this fragrance is enhanced with Bergamot, Lemon, and Orange, Cedarwood and Musk further establish the base of this fragrance. Very unique and masculine, perfect alone or paired with Samurai Warrior or Spirit of Sedona. For the more experimental, try pairing with Wasabi.

Wasabi-A unique fragrance sure to be an eye-opener. Refreshing blend of Eucalyptus, Ginger, and Peppermint, this fragrance is toned down with notes of Amber and Musk. Wasabi works well by itself but feel free to experiment.

Wise Sage*-A robust blend of Sage, Evergreen, and Juniper. This fragrance is rounded with Bergamot, Amber, and Geranium. Blend with any of the evergreens or try mixing with anything. Try this with Apple Cider for fun, make an energetic blend by adding citrus essential oils, or just try pairing with another men's fragrance.
 
For the Girls (okay, some are for guys too)

Apple Cider*-Fantastic unisex blend, and just in time for fall! Apple, cinnamon, and cloves add spice and kick to this blend. Equally suitable for girls and guys.

Arabian Mocha*-A heavenly scent. Cocoa, nutmeg, cardamom, and milk round out this espresso fragrance. Simply exquisite.

Cranberry Tart-A crisp, tart cranberry scent, yet somehow still sweet.
 
Dirty English*-A mimic of Juicy Couture's fragrance, this is sold by Juicy as a men's cologne, but we think it's perfect for women as well.  Musky undertones.

Ginger Essence*-A combination of ginger and citrus along with berry and a base of amber.

Orange Mocha*-Remember Starbucks' Valencia Frappuccino? Okay, not to make you want one even more, but now you can at least smell it again. This fragrance mimics the scent perfectly. For a little more spice, it is excellent paired with Orange Spice. A little more citrus--pair with any of the citrus essential oils.

Orange Spice*-Citrus and spice.  This blend is warm and spicy without being overpoweringly citrusy.

Wine*-Think of a warm, fruity, red wine sure to warm you up after a cold winter's day.

Winter Spice-Orange and lemon paired with all your favorite holiday spices, this fragrance is warm and spicy.

Apple                                                 Oatmeal & Honey
Coconut                                              Passionfruit
Cool Cucumber                                    Peach
French Vanilla                                    Raspberry

Calypso--Passionfruit, mango, and coconut are the scents that greet you in this blend. Perfect for fragrancing our Beach Ready Legs! Whipped Body Butter and Escape to the Tropics Bath Powder and Tea Time! Herbal Bath Tea.

Nutty Vanilla--a wonderful muted refreshing scent--slightly reminiscent of late summer with coconut and vanilla and of course lavender infused base

Autumn--Growing up in rural South Georgia, bonfires and leaf-littered forests meant fall was upon us. This blend captures the smell of autumn
with its smoky scent, hint of spice, and undertones of warm chocolate. This blend is a unisex blend.

 
Orange Ginger--Orange and Ginger Essence pair perfectly in this blend to deliver an energizing fragrance.  
 
Land of Milk & Honey--Passionfruit, mango, and coconut are the scents that greet you in this blend. Perfect for fragrancing our Beach Ready Legs! Whipped Body Butter and Escape to the Tropics Bath Powder and Tea Time! Herbal Bath Tea.
 
Spicy Mocha--Passionfruit, mango, and coconut are the scents that greet you in this blend. Perfect for fragrancing our Beach Ready Legs! Whipped Body Butter and Escape to the Tropics Bath Powder and Tea Time! Herbal Bath Tea.

As we've mentioned before, we fragrance our products lightly, but that doesn't mean you have to settle for lightly fragranced products if you like a lot of scent. Simply tell us in the "Additional Instructions" section that you want us to add extra fragrance (or not as much if you want something even lighter). We offer half the scent, double, and even triple the scent.

Bergamot, Tangerine, Orange, Lime, and Lemon Oils are known photosensitizers. We do not offer them as fragrance options in our lotion bars.
