    Amanda and Skip,
    I thoroughly enjoy your products personally and everyone I have purchased them for does as well. My personal favorie is the Olive and Fif, second choice is the Olivarium. My questions to you is out of all the different scents/flavors I have purchased only the Olive and Fig, or Olivariium body creams always have a large air pocket in every container I have recieved? Once you hit that area the container is 20%-30% empty? Is that normal? If it is why not use a smaller container?

    Lime & Kiwi 3 stars, The fragrance definately does not last but the smell is light and refreshing. I do like the body mousse, the hand lotion is…well I would not purchase, thin and runny does not absorb in to the skin very well. Definately needs to have stronger smell/staying power. I enjoy many of IBB products. I also tried to vote and could not.

  • Nicki, FL says:

    To comment on two notes from May 15 and 18: I second the wish to have the Lemon Vanilla spray back. I was hoping one of the lemon products you made would be this delicious scent! Also to the writer who thinks White Tea w/Bergamot has changed: I miss the lovely orange color of the body cream and the thicker consistency, but to me it is basically the SAME scent, although the scent might be just a tiny bit lighter. NEED THE EDP, please.

    Hi–Can anyone tell me what lotions or creams don’t have any alcohol in them???
    My daughter is pregnant and needs something without alcohol to keep from getting stretch marks on her stomach. Please help!! Thanks–Joanne

    Hi Skip & Amanda, while I am a huge fan of IB bath and body products, please add my displeasure of the Kiwi Lime set to the growing list of customers. The scent of lime is nonexistent and is the kiwi … it was too perfumey. As for the body milks and lotions you’ve been offering lately – I am not a fan. I prefer your original rich, silky body creams. If you cannot supply these to us on a constant basis I will have to find my body creams elsewhere.

  • LM, IA says:

    LIME -KIWI NOT UP TO MY SENSE OF SMELL OR NOT AS CREAMERY, I WOULDNT BUY IT. I TRIED TO VOTE AND WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. WHEN WILL YOU BE BRING OUT THE RISARIUM BLACK RICE HAND CREAM INTENSIVE AGE DEFYING? I USE IT TO FADE A LARGE SPOT ON MY FACE, IT REALLY IS THE BEST I FOUND.

  • kay, KS says:

  • Tenaya, CA says:

    I also did not care for the Kiwi & Lime. It was OK, but hardly a scent. I was expecting to like it since I like Lime. I gave the kit to my sister. I also like the body creams better than the thin lotions. The Verbena has been my favorite since the Customer Voice Program began.

  • Skip, I’m wondering why Perlier would include 25% shea butter in their new Shea with Coconut body balm. I would never apply a cream with 25% shea content in hot, humid weather when a coconut scent would normally be used. So, how about asking Perlier to come up with a much lighter coconut version for the hot weather?

    Hello Skip and Amanda,
    I have loved your products for many years, but I’m in disbelief because you are ruining the line. You have changed the older fragrances and creams and they aren’t better. They’re weak in scent and performance. Even the diffusers vary in their performance. After 20 years, I’m now looking for products in other lines. I never thought I would change. Your line was the best.

  • D, AR says:

    I wish you would allow for comments when we vote on Customer Voice products. So you could know why we did or didn’t like the selection. Also it would be great if there was actually a way to contact you and actually get answers back. The blog is OK but only a few very select questions are ever addressed. Will you ever put up a web site or more interactive blog where questions we have actually will be answered???
    Did like the Lime & Kiwi selection. Loved the milk. Feels refreshing.

  • sandy, SC says:

    Loved the tour Skip. I started using your products about 25 years ago while I was living in Athens Greece. I traveled to Italy many times.I was never able to find your products here until about a year ago when I saw you and your mom on HSN. I now have a cabinet full of your products. Even though I have my favorites(pomagranite and oatmeal honey with coriander)I can always find a new scent to love. I love the Kiwi and Lime.The lotion is thinner but perfect for a South Carolina summer! Thanks!

  • Ella, NC says:

    Hope you can answers some questions from your customers soon. We miss your communcations. Would you consider a website?

  • JULIE, MD says:

    HI SKIP AND AMANDA, I JUST RECEIVED YOURE LIME AND KIWI AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT IT DOESNT LIVE UP TO ITS NAME. THE SCENT IS WEAK AND THE LOTION IS VERY THIN. I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE ORIGINAL KIWI WAS BY FAR THE BETTER PRODUCT. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING IT BACK ! IKNOW THAT I’M NOT THE ONLY ON WHO WOULD BUY THE REG. KIWI AND NOT THAT OTHER STUFF YOU CALL LIME AND KIWI THANKS

  • Body Cream says:

    Love IB(B) but body much more body than face like TCINCP! Ditto too to GHSs request to keep classic Perlier body balms, creams as they are. Add to that list Olivarium, White Almond and many others including Pink Grapefruit. I was hoping Kiwi Lime would share that very formula not the light thin milk I received! I think if you were to take a poll not many would request milks and lotions over your wonderful creams and balms. I enjoy many of your body moisturizers but the classic cream is the BEST!

  • tcinpc, MO says:

    Hi Skip and Amanda! I know that change is good, but all the changes you are making are very confusing. I do love your product, the bath and body more than the beauty, hence my liking of the old name, but…..I have a question-a long while back I bought a 6-pack of Honey bar soaps in all the flavors – my husband and I just LOVE them. When will you bring them back? PLEASE!!!!

  • GHS, FL says:

    As far as I’m concerned, the body balms in Risarium and Dark Chocolate are some of the best of the best IBB products. Please don’t change those fantastic fomulas. I LOVE your newer body cream formulas with the added shea butter but, I need the old formula Rice and DC balms to help me through these awfully hot Florida summers since they are lighter on the skin and lighter in scent.

  • Anne, OH says:

    The Lime&Kiwi products are a HUGE disappointment. The anticipated fresh, light lime fragrance is non-existent in both the shower mousse and body cream which is also sticky and too runny. I’ve been in the program for over a year now and am wondering why the products are becoming atypical of what you can buy in local retail discount stores for a lot less money. This auto-ship program is not living up to your original standards.

  • Nicki, FL says:

    Can’t remember how I’m supposed to vote on the Customer Voice Program, so I’d like to tell you what I think of Kiwi Lime. The scent is OK, nothing great, but pleasant. But this is supposed to be a starter kit and all it has besides the shower gel is BODY MILK?????? I expected and want the usual body CREAM. I hope your future autoships don’t include body MILKS!

  • Patt, NY says:

    Hi Skip and Amanda. Very interesting tour, but why are the olives in your video different colors? Are they different types of olives? Thanks for the futuristic tour! I would also like to know if you plan to bring back the Double Latte Hydrating stick. I have been looking for it and I see that the Shea Butter stick is back but NOT the Double Latte. Please inform when able. Thanks!
