Guide to Selecting Bath and Body Works Products - C.O. Bigelow

If you've been in a Bath and Body Works lately, you may have felt the choices are overwhelming. There are many different products as well as different scents to choose from. It can be hard to determine which product you need, so here's an easy guide for you.

For those who desire skin care with natural active ingredients, rather than chemical, consider the C.O. Bigelow line at Bath and Body Works. This line features products for the hands, face and body. The formulas are based on apothecary formulas, utilizing high quality, natural ingredients to improve skin's condition. (C.O. Bigelow was a real apothecary in New York).

There are numerous products within the C.O. Bigelow line. Many are designed for use by either gender, although there are now several products specifically for men (shave cream, after shave, etc.). Some of the most popular items are unisex - we will go over a few of those in this article.

The Lemon Body Cream is a great moisturizer for any skin type. This product is thicker than lotion but not greasy. It features vitamin C and will brighten your skin in addition to moisturizing. There is no added fragrance, making this a great product for those who may be allergic to fragrances often added to lotions and creams. The Lemon Body Cream was even once voted the number one moisturizer by SELF Magazine.

If you want a moisturizer specifically for your hands, try the Dr. Hiosous Quince Hand Lotion. In the 1800s, Dr. Hiosous was a customer of C.O. Bigelow. This formula was made specifically for him. The active ingredient is quince, a fruit extract, which helps skin retain moisture and prevent moisture loss.

For the face, try the Deluxe Facial Moisturizer. This product is also fragrance free. It is lightweight, absorbs well, and is a good moisturizer for most skin types. A cleanser and tonic are available for "average" skin as well. The Bigelow line also features facial lotion, tonic and cleansers to treat oily skin.

Before you finish shopping at Bath and Body Works, try the Mentha Lip Formulas. They feature peppermint oil which freshens your breath. They come in tinted, un-tinted and ultra shine versions.

Bath and Body Works also has new products in the C.O. Bigelow line designed for overall body care. Products included are body wash and hand soap. Everything in this small collection features peppermint oil for a fresh, invigorating feeling.
