DESCRIPTION: The lavender plant is a shrub that produces small, purple, fragrant flowers. It is a hardy perennial that is grown in several different climates and countries with the largest producer being France. This herb is steeped in human history, from ancient bathing rituals to traditional wedding bouquets symbolizing devotion and purity. Always used to perfume, to cleanse, and to heal, lavender was also added to smelling salts in Victorian times, and clutched by women in labour for strength and courage. The birth of modern day aromatherapy can be attributed to lavender. Chemist Rene-Maurice Gattefosse (1881-1950), who coined the term "aromatherapy", was in a terrible lab accident that left him with a severely burned arm. He successfully treated it with lavender oil and began a lifelong study of essential oils. Lavender oil contains linalool and linalyl acetate that combine to create soothing properties to calm redness and irritation. The aroma is a clean, herbal, floral.

BOTANICAL NAME: Rosmarinus (Latin name ros - dew and marinus - of the sea) officinalis
EXTRACTION: Steam distillation
DESCRIPTION: Rosemary, or Rosmarinus officinalis, is a perennial herb native to the Mediterranean and Asia. The plant itself is a small, hardy, evergreen shrub with fragrant green needles. It produces white, pink, purple, or blue flowers and is relatively hardy in cooler climates. Rosemary was sacred to ancient Egyptians, Romans and Greeks. Myths recount that Virgin Mary spread her blue cloak over a white-flowered rosemary bush, turning the flowers blue, giving this bush the name "Rose of Mary." Rosemary has a rich history and use in Folklore as well as traditional medicine. In the Middle Ages it became known as the love charm as brides, grooms and guests would wear a sprig of rosemary when attending wedding ceremonies. It was also said to improve memory, aid with paralyzation, and treat gout many hundreds of years ago. The essential oil is extracted by steam distilling the small, green leaves. The compound that is derived from this process contains a number of phytochemicals responsible for its therapeutic properties. The essential oil also contains camphor, a chemical compound delivering healing properties such as its ability to heal, soothe and treat many skin conditions. The oil is colourless or pale yellow and has a fresh and herbaceous scent.

I gave this as a gift as I personally like this product. It is being enjoyed. By the recipient
Lavender lovers
Gentle and hydrating.Not greasy and relaxing .love the scent it’s mild.

The best body lotion ever!!
I've been using this for the last year and there's nothing that compares. It's both light and deeply moisturizing. Gentle smell, and keeps you hydrated for so long. I can't recommend it enough!

Body Lotion
I love Lavender and Rosemary, and the overall feel of the softness of my skin when I use this product. Thank you !

Perfect for winter hydration
This is great for relieving my dry winter hands plus it smells great!

Smells great. Perfect for bed time.
I find the lotion to apply well. Not sticky or tacky and does not leave me feeling greasy. I had the coffee lotion which I like, but this is a perfect scent for before bed.

Love it!
I love the smell of this. It’s a great light body lotion. Perfect for summer. I await the day when they make a rich, shea-heavy body butter version of this one. (Hint, hint)
Cocoon Apothecary
Hello Jacqueline, I have passed along your hint about a shea body butter in the Touchy Feely scent. Please note we have a Magic Bean Body Lotion that contains cocoa butter and almond oil which is a richer cream. I thought I would pass this along in case you would be interested in trying this option. Have a great day, Christine Cocoon Apothecary

Touchy Feely body lotion
I like the cream itself, nice texture & absorbs in nicely & don’t mind the smell but I wish it came in the Rosey Cheeks scent, that’s my favourite.

I really like it, I work in a dental clinic and it's helping to heal my hands from all the hand sanitizer I use.

New Favourite
I bought some of this for my Mom for Christmas... however my Stepdad has now stolen it from her! He has been using podiatrist recommended type lotion on his feet for years. When he ran out recently he tried the Cocoon lotion and has completely switched! He loves it so much I recently ordered him two more bottles. Happy customer!

Love this product!
I have very sensitive skin and am always skeptical about trying new products. I felt like my face was really dull and gave this product a try. I’m glad I did! After just a week of using it I felt and saw a difference. Less breakouts and more of a soft glow. I ended up buying this stuff my sister and she loves it too.

Perfect
I have been using and gifting Touchy Feely body lotion for a few years. It is by far the best body lotion. Lovely soft natural fragrance of lavender and rosemary. My skin just loves this lotion and anyone I gift it to, loves it as well.

Bought as a Christmas Gift
My daughter loves this stuff and she loves this store. She really supports small, local business.

Touchy Feely
This body lotion is one of the best lotions I've ever used. I love knowing that it doesn't have bad chemicals or ingredients too! The smell is amazing!
