Honey Harmony Gator Hydrator for the driest skin

Honey Harmony Gator Hydrator
by Body Moose
4 oz tub, $8.00

"Gator Hydrator is a thick, water-free super indulgent formula for the very driest skin or luxurious overnight treatments. Soothing and deliciously scented, this balmy butter also doubles as a solid perfume.  Sunflower and coconut oils are combined with certified organic shea butter  and stabilized with natural beeswax for a rich, effective treat."

We love products made with honey and scented of honey. We've written a newsletter about it, we advocate using it in home spa treatments, and we keep a gallon of it on hand for testing our own spa treatments.  When we come across a product that uses it to great benefit, we clap.  Here, the wonderfully indulgent Honey Harmony Gator Hydrator by Body Moose fits the bill of both an effective natural product and a wonderfully aromatic treat.  

"Honey Harmony" is one of the signature scent blends created by Body Moose through its founder, Dwala Wishon.  "Gator Hydrator" is one of her lush body butter products. The two meld together in a heady sensory experience. The unique scent of warm honey comes through and marries the scent of almond and additional soft, woodsy notes (a proprietary blend that we won't reveal, here), in an effective body butter that doesn't feel greasy or waxy.

This product is actually hand salve pulling double duty as a sensual solid perfume, and will have you bringing your hands to your nose throughout the day.  Expect elevator-mates to ask you "what's that wonderful scent?"   We also found using it just before bed to be a wonderful and fresh alternative to Lavender scented products typically used for rest.

Each of our staff agreed this product is sexy, soothing, rich, indulgent, and effective.  Smooth it onto hands or feet before bed, don cotton gloves or socks, and you've got an overnight treatment that will leave you soft and moisturized.  Did you know handling paperwork all day is incredibly drying to the hands?  Porous paper products steal your skin's natural oils.  Use Gator Hydrator throughout the day, at your desk, to moisturize and give yourself a lift.    Don't worry about leaving oily stains, however -- Gator Hydrator is a major improvement over its closest competitor, an "almond milk beeswax hand crème" found on drugstore shelves, which left a waxy, greasy feeling on our hands and handprints on our paperwork, desks, and anything else we touched.  Give that one a miss, and try Honey Harmony Gator Hydrator, instead.

when retailers don't accept returns, it's not the nature of the product, it's the nature of the company

Customer service is a priority, as shown by a motto adopted by Body Moose, above, the appropriate packaging, and the charming and whimsical presentation of its products.  Our products were presented to us as if they were gifts, wrapped in coordinated packaging and tissue and tied with a ribbon.  The product is packaged in a plastic jar with a laminated label, so it holds up in the moist environs of both the home bath and the steamy day spa.
