With our skin absorbing 60% of what we put on it, it is of the utmost importance that we pay attention to what we put on our bodies as well as in our bodies. And not only that, but wouldn’t it be amazing if we could both nourish, moisturize, and detox our bodies at the same time? And with natural products!?
When making the switch to natural products, some of the main products that come to mind are eyeliner, foundation, facial moisturizer, etc. However, considering that about 90% of the surface area of our body is below your neck, you cannot afford to ignore it in your natural beauty switch. Considering most of us use lotion and soap on our bodies every single day, sometimes multiple times a day, it is so important that soap and lotion are one of the first swaps you make when switching to natural beauty!
What should we swap out our lotion and soap with?
I’m so glad you asked! As we are entering the winter months, our skin can be left even more dehydrated than usual. This may mean that your current body lotion just isn’t cutting it like it was in the summer. This is THE perfect time to switch to oils!
“Our line is formulated with exceptional, natural ingredients, which we hope will inspire people to live in health and joy, with a softer impact on the planet.”
OSMIA ORGANICS
Oils go a long way and can last a long time! Oils help the skin to retain moisture, do not clog pores, and are high in antioxidants and nutrients. That is why I am such a huge fan of Osmia Organics. Osmia utilizes the highest-quality organic oils, natural plant butters, organic milks, and wildcrafted essential oils to deliver uncompromised health benefits and luxury.

Now on to the products!
Citrus Pearl Soap
This luxurious soap is such a treat not only for your body but also for your senses! This soap is made of organic shea butter, babassu oils, and tapioca powder to hydrate and cleanse. Mica contributes to the slight shimmer and rosehip seed powder provides a gentle exfoliation. There is a certain warm spice and citrus scent to this soap that makes extra yummy. Every time I used this soap I couldn’t help but feel happy and spoiled!

Emerald Body Essence
Even though our bodies are fairly covered up for Fall, we cannot forget that it too needs a little extra love and attention. This rich oil not only moisturizes but also provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits to help repair and strengthen your pre-holiday skin. This oil smells of gorgeous mint, South African geranium, and frankincense. This oil is easily absorbed and applying it is such a treat and a great way to take care of your skin and yourself.
Apply it to your wet bod right out of the shower and walk around in your birthday suit as it soaks in and dries. A little goes a long way! There’s something freeing about not wrapping yourself up in a towel and then putting on clothes right away.
