Ahhh…Minty Fresh (Price Update)

January 21, 2010 by Brandi Leave a reply »

Mint is one of my most favorite scents.  I may be just a little obsessed with it.  Aveda makes my most favorite mint-scented body products, but in recent years I’ve become what some refer to as [VERY] price-sensitive and I don’t fork over double digits for soap.  You can imagine I was so very stoked to see in this post over at Chic Critique (one of my favorite blogs, btw) about the 365 Line of body products available at Whole Foods Market.  I quickly made way over to our Whole Foods and picked up a bottle of the shower gel in Herbal Mint.  Oh yum! is all I can say.  It smells lovely.  Even more lovely than the scent– the price tag:  $3.99* for a 16oz bottle.  FOUR DOLLARS*, PEOPLE.  (And, if you take your own shopping bag, you get a 15 cent credit to your transaction!)  I love the fact that it’s paraben-free, too.  I even picked up the Unscented shower gel and lotion for the kids. Turns out, they frown upon smelling like a stick of gum.  If that’s the case for you, too, in addition to the Herbal Mint and the Unscented, the line is available in two other scents:  Citrus Grapefruit and Lavendar.  The only drawback, for me, is that it’s not super lathery, but stacked against “smells good”, “cheap”, and “green”, I can deal with it. 

I love this stuff.  You can see more things that people love over at The Diaper Diaries.

*Edited to add:  I was going through receipts this morning and realized that I had the price wrong.  The price was actually $2.99!!!  Wow!

  1. I like citrus smells, so I might have to try that one!! I totally understand about the lather, I want my soaps & shampoos to lather too, but I learned that most of those “foaming agents” aren’t any good so that’s why alot of paraben-free and natural products don’t. Why can’t we have it all?!?!

  2. Mint is supposed to be a good “invigorating” scent – So I bet this would be GREAT in the morning to start your day!!

    Love that last line… “Bought it. Love it. Want to tell others about it. Simple.” Might have to borrow that some day! :)

  5. I really hate that we don’t have a Whole Foods here. I love mint too. Do you use the Aveda shampoo? It is my favorite mint thing ever!!
