It&#8217;s not my all time favorite toner, but I do like it. Perhaps it is the hint of patchouli that reminds me of my Dead tour days. I like that this product uses sea water as an ingredient.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lushusa.com\/shop\/products\/bath-shower\/soap\/vanilla-in-the-mist-\">Vanilla in the Mist Body Soap by LUSH:<\/a>  I&#8217;m a big vanilla fan, and I love this soap.  It actually uses real vanilla pods to create a wonderful scent.  Lush is also  &#8220;the only cosmetics company in the world using a palm-free soap base, but we&#8217;re happy to share the formula with other cosmetics companies (we&#8217;ve already done so) so they can make the switch away from palm!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Disclosure:  We were sent the above described products to test in order to write this review.
