I caught a nasty cold a few weeks ago and it seemed that nothing could clear my head up. I was looking in the cabinet for some sleep aids and forgot I had BATH BY BETTIJO’s new Shower Infusers ($36/8 tablets @ bathbybettijo.com) there. And just in time! Instead of popping a pill, I popped open the jar and grabbed one of these soothers, put in on the floor of the shower and turned it on full blast. And it really helped open up my head while at the same time relaxing me. I seem to remember seeing something like this a few years ago though I can’t recall what they were exactly.

And these are made with some really good basic ingredients. Here’s the list from right off the back: sodium chloride (sea salt), citric acid, baking soda, corn starch, peppermint oil, vanilla extract and jojoba seed oil. That’s it! Yes, these are a little pricey but you know exactly what’s in them, right?

In continuing our coverage of great Shea Butter products, I am really surprised at the number of ones that have the word Shea in the name of the product and then the ingredient is waaaaay down on the list. It seems like it was almost an after thought, “Oh we need to put some actual Shea Butter in there since it has it in the name.” Anyway, here are some more recommendations with the ingredient right at the top of the ingredient list.

• CAROL’S DAUGHTER Unscented Shea Body Butter ($20/8oz @ drugstore.com)
• FREDERIC FEKKAI Shea Butter Hair Mask ($22.50/5oz, $32/9oz @ target.com)
• JERGENS Shea Butter Cream ($6.29/7.5oz @ walgreens.com)
• BATH BY BETTIJO 100% Pure Whipped Shea Butter ($16.50/2oz @ bathbybettijo.com)

When all’s said and done, lie in a quiet room with BATH BY BETTIJO’s Aromatherapy Sleeping Mask ($20 @ bathbybettijo.com) on your eyes and say ahhhhh, another season come and gone.
