Eco-beauty columnist Elizabeth Barker writes "Hand-cut and laced with lavender oil, Bazil Essentials Vanilla Lavender Olive Oil Soap is sure to tantalize with its rich vanilla scent"
Our all natural Soy Glass Pillars were featured in the December/January 2009 issue of Santa Barbara Magazine.
July 2008 - We were chosen as one of Sprig's Top 10 Most Amazing Candles. Sprig.com is Newsweeks daily green style guide. Here's what Sprig had to say about our soy candles: "The superhero of green candle companies, Bazil Essentials makes the most divine, pure-smelling candles. The Peppermint Eucalyptus candle will cure any woes. Try any of these pure burners, such as the Energizing candle with ginger and orange, or the Relaxation candle with essential lavender. We are charmed by the simple packaging, too."

October 2007 – A wonderful review from SwankyVeg.com, a website for Fashion Obsessed Veggies . “Bazil Essentials makes anyone not taking a bath wonder what on earth they are doing out of the tub. Recover from a long day with Headache Relief Bath Oil, or get revved up with some Energizing Bath Salts, and then smell divine with Lemongrass Body Butter. After you’ve pampered yourself, give something back by purchasing trees to restore the rain forest in Central America. You’ll know you’ve earned that bath.”

October 2007 - Our products were featured in the Celebrity Gift Baskets given to 80 Celebrities and influential people at the Women’s Day Conference, hosted by the First Lady of California, Maria Shriver. Celebrities and influential people such as The Queen of Jordon, Gayle King (Oprah’s Right Hand Lady), Vanessa Williams, Ed Begley Jr., Jamie Lee Curtis, The Presidential Wives, Laila Ali, and so many other inspirational people received our bubbly Olive Oil Soaps. The California Governor and First Lady’s Conference on Women is the largest and most dynamic one-day gathering of women in the nation. It connects women to volunteer organizations, useful resources, powerful ideas, and above all, to each other.


September 2007 - Our Water and Fire Gift Set was included in a gift box gifted to O P R A H by a confidential guest (we’re not telling!!) at a private event/party at her Montecito Estate.  The gift box is expected to be donated to one of OPRAH’s charities.
September 2007 - Our Water and Fire Gift Set was proudly featured in the EMMY Gift Bag, worth over $100,000, at the Exclusive GBK Productions EMMY Suite.  Gift Bags were given to the Celebrity Nominees and Presenters for the famed 2007 EMMY’s.
Bazil Essentials was featured in The Herb Companion, a national magazine focusing on natural herbs used in cooking recipes, gardens, natural remedies and more.

2006 – A website dedicated to natural and vegetarian living. “ Unlike many other “caring” companies who claim to produce "natural body products", Bazil Essentials truly walks the walk. But as great as this company’s reputation sounds, their products are even better!! I have seldom smelled such heavenly lotions, with scents that are so satisfyingly long-lasting. All products are produced with natural and organic ingredients, and as they are scented with essential oils, have wonderful Aromatherapy benefits as well…. the fragrances are lush and delicious.”
