Crabtree & Evelyn
 

Hey, just curious to know which of you gals are regular users of Crabtree & Evelyn products. I'm thinking of getting their Hand Therapy cream. (btw, they are having an online sale on them at the moment)

What's your favorite Crabtree & Evelyn scent & product?

Here's the link to the sale url:

I do not use their products regularly but I buy their Lily of the Valley products as gifts all the time. They make great Alpha Phi presents.

Gardeners Hand Therapy is an incredible hand lotion; the best out there, IMHO. Even though it is pricey, it all works out in the end because you really don't need much. If they still make the Gardeners Hand Scrub, try that to wash your hands with before you put on the Hand Therapy. It makes hands SO soft!

What else do I like? What DON'T I like is more like it! lol I used the Tom Kitten line of cream, baby wash and powder on both of my daughters. I like the Swiss Skin Care line. The SSC's fragrence is a spray called "Eau Fraiche" which is light and herbal and smells wonderful. Freesia is very nice, a little on the "sweet" side. "Eveyln" is their rose scent if you like that. I don't, but my sister does so she always gets that from me for Christmas.

Another nice line is "La Source". The only way to describe it is that it smells like the ocean to me. I have the bath gel, body cream (heavier than the lotion) and bath soak which smells great and turns the water a pretty blue.

Haha, can you tell I'm a fan? Any other questions, just ask and I'll be glad to tell you what I can!

When I was younger my mom used a lot of their products, I must have been the only fourth-grader with her own C and E Rosewater and Glycerin bath collection. Oily hair runs in my family, too (I just keep saying to myself, I'm oily now, but I'll never get a wrinkle in my life), and we were all huge fans of their lemon shampoo. Since they discontinued it and replaced it with the grapefruit shampoo, I have stopped buying from them. I think I might give up my grudge, though...they really make very nice products.

On the lily of the valley - I'm with lauradav, they also make great AEPhi presents ;)

Actually, my fave is vanilla.

New to C & E
 

I just discovered Crabtree & Evelyn this weekend at a health food store. I have completely fallen in love with their Gardenia scent! :D

I really like their Goat Milk body lotion. It relieves the tight dry skin feeling after a shower.
The hand therapy is great. And my favorite is the Hand Repair (or someting like that), it is the gritty stuff that exfoliates the skin.
It is great!!!!

Crabtree and Evelyn
 

I worked in a little local shop downtown during college for 3 years. I miss it so much because I used to love to sample all the new products and make gift baskets. It sold strictly toiletries with Crabtree and Evelyn being their primary product line (others were Caswell and Masey, Taylor of London, Dionis, ect.). I absoultely LOVE Crabtree and Evelyn--my favorites are the Aloe Vera line, the Swiss Skin Care, Summer Hill, the intensive hand creams and the Mens' line of Nomad. I also really liked the Noel christmas line. I liked the hair care products a great deal as well. I tried the intensive cream that you are refering to, and I truly thought that it wasn't worth the money because it left my hair a bit greasy. But the shampoo I thought was great. I loved everything in that store--you can never go wrong with C&E!

Their Hand Therapy is the best in life!! As a nurse, all I do is wash my hands and the stuff they have at the hospital kills our hands. The hand therapy is so nice and cramy and absorbs really fast-I've turned 7 other nurses onto it!!

Their Wisteria fragrance is so yummy-one of my favorites. As is Jojoba, and Almond Oil. Yummy stuff.

After I had my younger daughter, I sent gift baskets featuring tubes Hand Therapy to the wonderful nurses who had worked with me. They all took the time to call me and thank me for the Hand Therapy in particular because they loved it so much! :)

Are there stores still around? Was One in KC, used to buy European food items there and other stocking stuffers for Christmas!:)

God had real English Marmalade!!!!!!!:cool:

That is so sweet of you!!:)
It really is good stuff.

There are lots of stores around Tom. I don't know about ones in KC, but I do know ones in North Carolina and Texas.

On a fun side note, when I first moved to North Carolina and was waiting to take my nursing boards, this summer, I needed something to do, so I decided to get a dinky part time job. I wound up getting hired at Crabtree and Evelyn, and I loved it!! So much so, that even though I work full time at the hospital now, I still do part time work at C&E!! (The discount is a nice perk:D )

I use to wear a C & E perfum that had a rose scent to it. It was absolutely amazing. I think I'll go and check out their website and maybe buy some more!
