Pharmacopia Natural and Organic Body Care

As an overworked mom, stress is my middle name. During the day I seem to function on a mix of adrenalin and caffeine. Putting out fires as they occur. Running from one place to another. Separating warring children. Dealing with broken appliances and last minute cupcakes and generally being wound tighter than a spring.

Come the end of the night, there is nothing I want more than a little bit of calm and relaxation. One way I find a little bit of calm throughout the day and at night is by indulging in natural and organic body care with calming scents like lavender and chamomile. Lavender and chamomile are herbs that have been used for years for relaxation. I enjoy them in my tea and also in my body care.

Pharmacopia has a line of natural and organic body care that I recently had a chance to try out. Their Go. Relax. An Oasis of Calm On-the-Go gift set includes lavender hand cream, lavender body lotion and lavender body wash. This gift set from Pharmacopia includes these three luxuries packaged with a handy, eco-friendly tote. Lavender and Roman Chamomile help soothe nerves and relieve headaches and stress.

The Lavender Hand Creme has an organic shea butter base and is perfect for using at night on your dry skin. You wake up with soft, smooth skin in the morning and there is the added benefit of drifting off to sleep to the peaceful scent of lavender and chamomile. The Lavender Body Lotion uses rich moisturizers like avocado oil, oat straw and organic aloe vera. I use this during the day to get a quick calming moment when I really need it. The Lavender Body Wash helps you avoid stripping away beneficial oils when bathing. It doesn't contain cheap detergents like sulfates so your skin gets fresh and clean but not tight and dry.

All three of these body care products are conveniently sized to TSA standards so they're ideal for someone who travels a lot too. I know travel can be extremely stressful. They also work well for tossing in your gym bag or just enjoy them at home like I do when you have a few moments to yourself.

I loved the look of the Pharmacopia Go. Relax. An Oasis of Calm On-the-Go gift set.  The labeling is classic with a clean and crisp look to it that reminds me of old time labels you'd see at the general store.  The labels are also part in French which lends to the luxurious feel. The scent is truly amazing.  It's natural, clean and fresh smelling. The lavender is authentic and not perfumey or fake at all which I have encountered in the past. Both the lotion and the creme absorbed quickly into my skin and did a wonderful job of leaving my skin feel soft and hydrated. Neither were at all greasy or sticky feeling. I love the Lavender Body Wash because it's very gentle on my skin and not at all drying.  It left me feeling fresh and clean and is the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day.  The scented lasted forever and did a great job of bringing a little moment of relaxation to my otherwise crazy day.
