Beauty March Day Two: EO Products

Apr 17, 2007

They had me at the shampoo. Looking for a hair treatment to wake up my dulling locks, I first discovered the EO product line at my local Wild Oats Market. The Chamomile & Honey Shampoo and Conditioner have been staples ever since. The duo leaves your hair shiny, clean and laced with an intoxicating natural scent. But what sealed the deal for me was this: In February, a close friend of the EO founders Michael Keenan was pet-sitting in a friend's apartment when a fire broke out in the building. Though he was able to safely escape, Michael ran back into the burning building to save Bobby, his friend's Jack Russell Terrier. As a result, Michael suffered severe burns on more than 80 percent of his body and is fighting his way toward recovery in the Intensive Care Unit of San Francisco General Hospital. To honor their dear friend and hero, EO created a special edition Michael's Aloe and Lavender Hand Cream and will donate 50 percent of sales from this rich, organic hand cream ($7.99) to support Michael's long and costly rehabilitation. So lavish yourself in the natural goodness of EO's essential oil-based bath, body and haircare products. Not only will your body thank you but you'll be supporting a business grounded in generosity and seriously good scents. Buy it or find retailers near you at EOProducts.com.
