I recently received a package from the St. Helena Olive Oil Company, featuring their latest olive oil creations”lavender body products, and have been smitten ever since. Mind you, I receive A LOT of products, and many have questionable ingredients and overwhelming scents. Based on founder Peggy OKelly’s philosophy”preservation of body, mind, and soul”her food and body products take the very best ingredients and keep them pure and simple. The lavender sugar scrub made with Sevillano extra-virgin olive oil (naturally rich in vitamin E), olive, shea and coconut butters as well as pomegranate extract smoothed and softened my stretched-too-the-max-pregnant skin and left me smelling heavenly not perfumey. That’s a lot for a pregnant mama to say. For only $24, this one’s a keeper.
