Spring Break, Reading Week, March Break, whatever you call it, for most of us it usually means some well deserved TIME OFF, (sound the trumpets), and that is always something to get excited about. You may be skiing, heading south for a beach holiday or simply staying home for a relaxing staycation as Spring finally starts to appear. One thing's for sure, everyone likes to feel their best on holidays, so today we wanted to share some handy Back To Earth products for you and your family to help make your time off together be as wonderful as possible.
Germs spread through families like wildfire, they are something you definitely want to avoid before holidays. Wash your hands often and avoid touching your mouth, eyes and nose.

Our Pure Hand Sanitizer comes in a travel-size 60ml bottle, so you can pack in your carry-on bag. It is alcohol-free and instantly kills germs using only natural and organic ingredients including colloidal silver. The scent of cinnamon, clove, lemon, eucalyptus and rosemary is comforting as well as being a combination of highly effective 100% pure essential oils. Mist your trays, seat belt buckles and wipe with a paper napkin when you settle in for a flight. Keep a bottle in the car for door handles, the steering wheel and other surfaces that are touched by many hands. Take steps in preventing germs from affecting your vacation plans before you even arrive.
Whether you are skiing, beaching, or just hiking around your hometown protecting your skin from sun damage is always a top priority. Apply our all-natural Shady Days Sunscreen on a daily basis, as well as throughout the day for effective sun protection for the entire family.

The formula goes on easily, has a light lovely coconut scent and is non-whitening. It’s an affordable sunscreen for the whole family that won't hurt the environment, or your health.
After a brilliant day outdoors, cool off your skin with our cold-pressAloe Vera After Sun gel. It soothes your skin, locks in moisture using all natural and organic ingredients like aloe vera gel, vitamin C and E, anti-oxidants, plus feels amazing. You can also use it to treat cuts and wounds, minor skin infections or as a makeup remover! No added dyes, perfumes, alcohol, chemicals or other potential irritants...nothing but a cooling and calming treat for your skin.
As much as vacations are intended to be relaxing there are often times when things get a bit hairy before, during, after your break. A bottle of ourStress Release Body Spray can be such a treat when you need a little aromatherapy support. Use it as a body mist or an aroma spray and it will calm you with a light scent designed to provide comfort and aid emotional well-being. Safe for all ages, the gentle aroma of sweet orange, bergamot, lavender, geranium, roman chamomile and cinnamon essential oils will have everyone inhaling deeply inhaling as you pass by.
