KioKio Launches at Anthropologie!

When I was little, I had an amazing imagination. Rather than running around outside like some kids, I would sit underneath my favorite weeping willow tree down near the river and daydream. What I daydreamed about would vary depending on what was going on in my young life. But what was usually fairly constant was that the fact that I was anywhere but the United States.

I was generally on a mysterious island somewhere with exotic plants, animals and birds. I lived on the beach in a grass hut and spent the hours during my idyllic days picking fragrant flowers and watching brightly colored birds fly from tree to tree. That was much more exciting for me than going to school and riding my bike.

Well as I grew older, I had less and less time to spend daydreaming under the weeping willow tree but I never lost my love of exotic islands. I've despaired of ever actually getting to visit an exotic island but I can still steal away a few minutes to daydream here and there.

KioKio gives me the opportunity to enjoy the scents of New Zealand in their new line of body care products. KioKio has soap, body lotion, body mist, body cream and body wash products available in four different exotic scents.

Pacific Tiare & Ti Kuaka - White flowers and citrus combine in this sparkling Pacific Ocean fragrance. Sweetly scented Ti Kauka is naturally cleansing and nurturing for the skin.

Rainforest & Koromiko - Fragranced like a morning walk in the forest after it has rained. Koromiko renews and smooths stressed skin.

Citrus Petal & Tarata - Fresh, clean and uplifting. Tarata was traditionally used as a perfume in thermal pools to revive tired muscles. The Tarata tree has sweet, lemon scented leaves and flowers.

Frangipani & Puriri - Frangipani's rich, heady perfume infuses the air with its warm tropical notes. Puriri gives balance and tranquility.

I recently had the chance to try the body mist and body lotion in the Pacific Tiare & ti Kauko scent and WOW is all I can say. I have absolutely no idea what a Pacific Tiare or Ti Kauka is but they smell amazing.  It's a very light, floral scent that is not at all overpowering.   Reminds me sort of a slightly more floral version of lilac.  Really fantastic scent. Goes on smoothly & is quickly absorbed to leave your hands very soft.

All of the KioKio scents are free from parabens, mineral oils, petrochemicals, silicones, artificial colors, PEG, DEA, TEA, etc.  They are not tested on animals. The packaging is uncoated and uses water-based dyes to ensure full recyclability. The unique rare botanicals featured in the products are “wild harvested” and only leaves that can be removed without damaging the plants are used. I love this!

New Zealand’s eco-conscious body care collection launches on Anthropologie’s e-commerce site on May 13th, just in time to kick off the spring season.
