iVi Scents Going Out of Business Sale

Unfortunately, I have such sad news to share. iVi Scents, one of my favorite stores for body-safe (no parabens, phthalates, GMO’s, mineral oils, triclosan, or cruelty) bath and body products is going out of business… Everything is 50% off right now, and things have been getting close to selling out FOREVER!

Their soap is some of the best that I’ve ever bought. It smells wonderful, and fills the whole bathroom with scent even when not in use. ~ Come back home from a bad day. Smell the bathroom. Mmm…. Life is now 20% better.~ It lathers with little effort, and it’s great for my sensitive skin. They come in loads of awesome scents like Ozone, Sandcastle, Hawaiian Cake, Milk and Honey, and Peppermint Kissed. These are what I’ll be stocking up on soon.

They also have pretty awesome body butters, but they do contain silicones. Dimethicone, to be exact. At one point, they actually carried bath bombs, perfumes from Demeter Fragrance, and I think they had some lip balms, too.

So, why are they going out of business if they have all these awesome products? Well, once things were taking off to the point where the owner and creator of the line couldn’t supply the orders by herself, she moved to a lab. This eliminated the products besides the soaps and the body butters, and it also drove the prices up. Even though I adore her soaps, $6.99 per bar was just too much for my wallet. Unfortunately, I think maybe she just priced herself out of the market. (Or Apple went after her because of the lower-case ‘I’ in everything…) And now that she’s having a going out of business sale, the soaps are cheaper than they’ve ever been.

If you’ve never signed up with iVi Scents before, you can get a $5 eGiftcard when you signup for the newsletter, which is enough to get one of the soaps, with almost enough left over to get one of the towel treats. If you have any loyalty points accumulated on your account, now is the time to cash them in for gift cards.

I have no idea when the store is actually closing. There’s been very little information put out by the owner about the business closing. So, I guess, once everything is sold out completely, the site will be gone.

In The Land of Milk and Honey - Review of Milk and Honey iCing Body Frosting from iVi Scents

Travel to the land of milk and honey where all of your wants and needs are taken care of with this luxurious body frosting from iVi Scents! The sweet scent of almond cookies is enough to give me that warm and fuzzy feeling while the ingredients work wonders to smooth my skin to a silky finish!

Scent: The scent is very similar to almond oil and has a nice sweetness to it that reminds me of almond cookies.  It’s a soft scent, and I catch gentle whiffs of it throughout the day. It’s a wonderfully girly scent that makes me feel rather delicate and sweet .

Consistency:  Not too thick, not too thin. This body cream is just right. It looks and feels just like frosting! Mmm…  What would be really cute is if a little spatula came with the jar so you really could feel like you’re frosting yourself!

Skin: iCing leaves my skin feeling soft and supple. It’s as moisturizing as a body butter without that greasy feeling of too much oil or shea butter. Smooth it on and rub it in to a powder soft finish. It’s the icing on the cake that is you! What kind of cake am I? I’m a little jasmine flavored tea cake with sweet almond icing!  

The iCing works great on skin that’s parched. My legs thank me for treating them to it after shaving. I think it’s probably the smoothest they’ve been. And of course, that makes me feel better and less insecure when hubby wants to massage my feet and legs. I’m nice and soft so feel free to touch!

It’s infused with real silk amino acids. I think that this, along with the dimethicone, are what really work wonders on my skin. Why the dimethicone? Well, a couple times last winter when my hands were really chapped and I was in a pinch with no lotion to help them, I rubbed a little silicone-based personal lubricant on them and it really softened my hands and made them feel better. Weird, I know, but it worked.

Packaging: Right now, it comes in a clear 4oz jar with a black lid, but iVi Scents has been doing some redesign! Look for cute little zebra print jars soon!

Customer Service: Great! If you have any questions, you’ll get a response back in a day or less!

Shipping: Very fast. Of every order I’ve had with iVi Scents, most come within 3-4 days. Super-fast!

Overall, I’m very happy with my purchases from iVi Scents. The Milk and Honey iCing Body Frosting is a great way to pamper my skin and myself in general. Knowing that it’s free of anything that can harm me is really comforting. And, trying to find a safe lotion that works well enough to smooth out my legs and smells great has been one heck of a search! I highly recommend iVi Scents for the baby-soft skin their iCing Body Frosting gives me!
