Although we make a ton of products and we'd love to spot light each and every one (we still might do this in a later post!), we tallied up what our customer's top 10 favorite products are!
Some products not listed are great sellers but the below list features the best of the best!
Also after each product and description, Heather, our very own Customer Service Manager, tells us why she likes each product!
In no particular order:
Body Mist -
This unique product is made without oil, alcohol or water. The spray is designed to soften and scent your skin. Use it after a shower, a bath or anytime you need a lift! You will be amazed at how light and soft this product feels. Spray it on, rub it in! No oily residue, just soft, scented skin.
Why Heather likes this product - I don't like this product, I LOVE it! It's the first time I've ever tried a product like this. Once you spray it on and rub it in, it dries like a powder. It leaves your skin soft and lightly scented. It's not overpowering. I even use it in my hair to add extra shine and to take away the frizz!
Shea Butter Balm -
This unbelievable product has 15% shea butter. That is almost unheard of in a cream. It also has added calcium. Recent studies show that calcium has as positive of an effect on your skin as it does on your bones. It strengthens and fortifies. This product is VERY rich and thick-- works like a charm!
Why Heather likes this product - I cannot say enough about this product. As part of my job, I'm always typing. My hands get extremely dry and I lose the natural moisture that your skin builds up. I use this a few times a day. I couldn't be more pleased. If you're looking for moisture that lasts definitely try the shea butter balm. I constantly get compliments on how soft my hands feel. I can attest that it's because I use this product!
Hand Creme -
Our most popular item!!! It contains: shea butter, comfrey root, wheat protein and golden seal. It is a very rich creme meant for very dry skin on your hands, body and even your face. This creme heals with comfrey root and burdock. The wheat protein acts as an anti-irritant while the golden seal adds a youthful dewy shine to rough, dry skin. Sunflower oil and shea butter protect with long lasting moisturizing benefits.
Why Heather likes this product - I like this product because it has a consistency that falls between the body lotion and shea butter balm. It's light enough that I can wear my favorite perfume but thick enough that I get the moisture I need. I use this after I wash my hands. I always carry a purse size hand creme with me!
Body Oil Spray -
This is a fabulous combination of our bath oil and our body mist moisturizer. We use a very light oil (high oleic safflower) which has a high level of vitamin E. Vitamin E is an anti-oxidant which helps to slow down the aging process. Our body oil spray is easy to use, non-greasy and will not leave a sticky residue.
Why Heather likes this product - Days that I feel extremely dry and need a quick fix, I pull out the body oil spray. It's a light enough oil spray that it doesn't leave you feeling like you just covered your entire body in a thick sticky oil based product. I get the moisture I need without the oily residue. I spray this on after a bath just before bed, after a day in the sun and when I have a skin irritation.
Lip Balm -
Made with beeswax, safflower oil and peppermint essential oil. It is moisturizing and healing and has a light mint flavor. It is designed to soothe, heal and protect chapped lips. People have even told us that it works better than their medicated lip balm!
Why Heather likes this product - I love to use the lip balm when I have dry chapped lips. It has helped speed up the healing process. I also like to wear this under my favorite lip gloss. When I visit family back east, I always take extra with me because they are always wanting more! The climate during the winter can be extremely cold there and using the lip balm has helped them defend against winter chapped lips!!
Bath, Body and Massage Oil -
Made with natural oil and vitamin E. This particular oil was chosen because it is very light and easily absorbed by the skin. It will leave this skin feeling supple and not greasy. It can also be used in the bath tub.
Why Heather likes this product - A few drops in the bath and the scent will help relax you! You get out of the bath feeling well moisturized without feeling like you've been rolling around in oil. This is also excellent to use for a massage. Very little goes a long way!
Salt Scrub Souffle (Hand & Foot Scrub) -
It has a unique combination of sea salt and liquid soap. It has a sponge like consistency and is great for the whole body. It does not have oil in it like other salt scrubs on the market. It doesn’t leave a ring in the tub and it won’t make surfaces slippery.
Why Heather likes this product - I've actually never tried a soap based scrub before trying this. I can't believe that it gives you the same great benefits that an oil based scrub would! It really exfoliates and leaves your skin feeling refreshed and smooth! Once you wash away the scrub, you don't have to worry about slipping on an oily surface. I definitely recommend trying this product!
Bath Bar -
These vegetable based, glycerin, bath and body bars contain jojoba oil which has great moisturizing benefits as well as natural vegetable glycerin which actually attracts moisture to your skin. This is a non drying soap. It contains no animal by-products. Use it on your face as well as your hands. We know you will love how pure and gentle it is.
Why Heather likes this product - I generally use soap bars only for my body. I use a separate special facial soap. With this bath bar, I've been able to use it on both my face and my body! It's natural and it's very light. I like that it doesn't dry your skin out especially if you shower at least twice a day!
Supreme Creme -
It is made completely from shea butter. This a new way of ultra whipping the product so that the raw shea butter has a creamy consistency. This is to be used in very small amounts. A tiny drop will cover an entire area completely. It is great for burns, rough patches caused by medical treatments, bug bites, and sore & red skin. There is nothing like this product. One try and you'll fall in love!
Why Heather likes this product - The supreme creme is just that, A SUPREME CREME. I work with papers a lot and I get tons of paper cuts. After I wash it, I use the creme to soothe and heal the cut. I use it as a cuticle softener and on burns as well. The healing properties are just amazing!
Body Lotion -
Our light lotion contains comfrey and aloe vera as well as shea butter and elderflower. Comfrey and aloe vera were chosen because of their amazing ability to soothe and heal the skin. Shea butter, chamomile and glycerin were added to soften and re-hydrate your skin. Vitamin E acts as an anti oxidant (helps slow down the aging process). It is a light botanical blend which is absorbed quickly.
Why Heather likes this product - I love that I have a choice between three different cremes. Each with a different consistency. The body lotion is what I use in the morning and at night just before bed. It's so light that my skin doesn't feel smothered. It's also light enough that it absorbs into the skin quickly so I don't have to wait to get dressed or lay down at night. Even though it is lighter than the hand creme and shea butter balm, your skin still feels hydrated!
Because we're a family owned business, we like our customers (whom we refer to as our "extended" family) to know a little bit about how Kiss Me In The Garden was born. Every birth has it's own story and now we share ours with you!
Fragrance transports us. It can rejuvenate, relax and remind us....
A simple scent can instantly alter our mood, elevate our spirit and enhance our lives. Many years ago in the small French town of Les Baux De Provence, Jonathan and I became captivated by the scent of lavender.
We searched the mountain for the source of the scent and found a tiny shop selling dried lavender flowers and oils. We bought the fragrant oils and brought them home with us. We found ourselves using the oils to scent our home, our bath and our linens.
We wanted to learn more about scents and why they have such a strong effect on our emotions. This study began a journey and a love of fragrance which ultimately gave birth to the Kiss Me In The Garden bath and body collection. We wanted our Personal Care products - to be just that, aromas that would appeal to you on a personal level and products that truly cared for your skin. This is why we created a line made with intoxicating fragrance blends which contain natural botanical ingredients and are hypo- allergenic and cruelty free.
We have spent 17 years developing our unique line. We want you to know that we make everything that we sell in our factory in Northridge, California. This gives us extraordinary quality control as well as the ability to make super high quality products and still sell them at a competitive price. We are always on the cutting edge, continually researching new formulas, new botanical ingredients and new ways to make the product better, more environmentally friendly and more natural.
Starting November 1, 2005, we will be completely "paraben-free". Read about parabens below.
There are chemical ingredients called “parabens” (AKA Methylparaben and Propylparaben) that are commonly used as preservatives. They are in just about everything that uses preservatives (look at your shampoos, conditioners, facial make up, food….etc.) Only a tiny amount of these preservatives are used (1/10th of 1 %) in most cases. However, the American Cancer Society recently said that they think there may be a link between these preservatives and cancer. I have had people from the companies that make this ingredient in my office and they assured me that there has never been a link between these two things. However, because there is some concern, we revised our products and have taken the parabens out. As of November 1, 2005 all of our products are paraben free.
We encourage you to visit Product Info , on our website www.kissmeinthegarden.com to learn more about some of the botanicals we included in our products and why they were chosen.
We welcome you to our extended family. We wish you good health, prosperous endeavors and many kisses in the garden!
