I bought this on a whim in the sale without even smelling it and oh I am so glad I did.
The scent is out of this world, it's not at all over powering or strong, just light and delicate a bit like when you smell Decleor products......yes that's right very luxurios.
I mainly pick up the Geranium and then can detect the other oils as back scents.
I have been using this in the morning after I've showered mainly for my legs and arms. I've noticed that those awful tiny bumps on my upper arms have significantly reduced  .
Here's the ingredients:
coconut oil, almond oil, weatgerm oil, tocopherol acetate, geranium oil, sandalwood oil, lemon oil, jasmine absolute, alcohol denate. |

I love Neal's Yard stuff but e very careful about staining on clothing with their oil products.
My husband bought one of the massage oils from Neal's yard for me one X'mas and it stained every fabric it touched (towels, sheets, t-shirts) with a nasty yellowish color.
It took us a while to get the association going but by the time we did a lot of good stuff got ruined (including a $150 Calvin Klein bath robe  ) No matter what we tried the stains never came out... |

That's a good point, I have not yet noticed any staining but then I live in jeans and jumpers.
A good stain remover is the Vanish Oxy stuff, I have a white jumper that had gone dull and was stained, I soaked it overnight in a bucket of water and the Vanish Oxy crystals and it came out like new. Maybe it's worth a try for the Calvin Klein bath robe. I hate it when good clothes get ruined.
I hope it's not put you off Neal's Yard products. |

No, I still love them... just not the massage oil! LOL I think it was a sports massage or musle ache one or something so it probably had some spice or another.
If you love NYR get one of their books for making cosmetics. Great recipes almost the same as product they sell.
I used to make a copy-cat version of their face scrub and it was wonderful.
As for the robe, we tried everything .. most recently the oxyclean. But it was a cream colored robe and all the soaking (initially in stuff like nappisan) just took out the color..  |

YES I have the Neal's Yard book jam packed with all the recipes 
A while ago I bought a ton of oils and clays, the clays are well worth the money and I have a whole cupbaord full of Neal's Yard jars and bottles from products I have used which are great for homemade stuff.
The back rescue remedy range is good too, I always add a few drops to any homemade stuff.
What else from Neal's Yard have you tried?
My only qualms is that some of the creams have a strong vegetable oil scent which I don't like. |
