From The Cottage Greenhouse (a sister brand to Tokyo Milk and Love + Toast), Carrot & Neroli Handcreme. "Thick, rich and positively addicting, Carrot & Neroli Handcreme will leave your skin thanking you! The dynamic duo of avocado oil and shea butter provide the base to the luxurious hand cream." $24 (ouch) for 113g at Macy's. (There is also a Fresh Carrot soap; I featured it back in 2018, never saw it anywhere and forgot all about it. Now I want it again.)

From Spinster Sisters Co, Orange Blossom Rose Petal Bath Soap. "Floral with just a hint of citrus, we scent this luxurious bar with a rich blend of orange peel oil and rose flower extract. A romantic sprinkling of rose petals dusts the top of the bar and is mixed inside as a gentle exfoliant." $9.45 at Spinster Sisters.
