Frankincense & Myrrh - Not Just for Baby Saviors Anymore

Okay, okay. You've already read about my experience with Indigo Wild's Zum Bar Soap, in my blog, Zum, Zum, and Then Zum More. In there somewhere, I shared that I immediately fell in love with the Frankincense & Myrrh scent. And, I just received my follow-up shipment of Zum products. I am head over heels for this stuff.

First up, the Zum Body Lotion

I got the smaller size, to try it out.. and obviously, I chose frankincense & myrrh. Oh. My. Goodness. The smell is subtle, but warm and cozy.. like your favorite blanket.. or your boyfriends old sweatshirt (well, with a better smell.. I'm guessing).

And I've tried a LOT of natural body lotions in my day. My previous favorite was Burt's Bees Milk & Honey.. but at some point along the way, they seemed to have changed their formula.. and my skin started to feel waxy after using it; and the smell just isn't what it used to be. Still, a good lotion. But now.. there's no going back.

The Zum Body Lotion immediately absorbed into my skin.. and there was no waxy or greasy sensation afterwards. My skin feels extraordinarily soft; as if it were coated in baby powder.. but yet, super moisturized.

It also doesn't hurt that the ingredient list sounds like something I'd pop into the oven: Shea butter derived from certified organic nuts, aloe vera extract, certified organic jojoba oil, certified organic sunflower oil, extracts of carrot, sweet almond, avocado, sea kelp, ginseng, oat bran extract.. just to name a few. This stuff is AWESOME with a capital AWE! =)

And then.. to top it off, I sprayed on a little Zum Mist (frankincense & myrrh, of course). Smells better than any of my perfumes. This is going to be my go-to frangrance. It's that kind of smell that's subtle; but will linger for hours. Delicious.

I cannot speak highly enough of this brand. I love the natural ingredients. I love the "fun factor" of the company, the employees, and their packaging. I LOVE that it's made in the United States. Indigo Wild officially has a new lifelong customer.

And you can bet your booty that I'll be buying the larger size soon. The small one will go in my purse, so I can spread the joy to friends, coworkers, and perhaps a few friendly-looking strangers.

You can get these products (in different, nearly edible scents, too),
at great discounts through Drugstore.com
or SoapHope.com (that's where I purchased mine, proceeds go to a great cause)

and of course, visit IndigoWild.com for all the latest and greatest in their lineup
