With a founder and owner like Sharonn, it’s no wonder that the bath and body Crater Lake Company is so successful. Customers write with heapings of praise for each of the products available.

In another entry, Charmingly Chic gave glowing review of our super popular Sugar Cloud and #1 selling creme, Comforting Creme. The review for the two body products I recently received from Crater Lake Company is very easy. One word sums up both the Comforting Crème and Sugar Cloud Scrub – amazing. When my order arrived, it came packaged in an adorable goodie bag tied with a curled pink ribbon. The personalized card inside just goes to show how much the owner, Sharonn, really cares about her work.

Before heading to the beach this summer, make sure to use Crater Lake Company’s scrubs and body buffers for smooth, sun-kissed skin. As one of their most popular items, the uber-powerful Triple Action Body Buffer is made up of all-natural ingredients plus three different grains for triple the scrubbing action. If softer skin is what you crave, I recommend the Cream and Sugar Scrub. Made of sweet almond and jojoba oil and shea butter, this had more of a creamy texture to it; it’s so soft and light that it felt like rubbing marshmallow fluff on my body.

The Flutter Butter, I must say, is one of the best lotions I have ever tried. I know that some etailer products are more expensive than what you find in the store, but from my experience brand names don't always make quality products. To me, quality is always the most important thing and Crater Lake really has that quality.

This is the most fantastic body buffer I've used so far and the cotton candy scent was the most succulent smell of cotton candy I ever smelled! I like that the scent lasted throughout the day which I was'nt expecting it to. So there was no need to apply any body lotion or perfume after that! This body buffer left my skin well polished, moisturized, and exfoliated. I have very sensitive skin and it did'nt irritate my skin at all.

All in all, I really loved my products from Crater Lake Company, and see many orders in my future. They have a scent list a mile long and the price is very competitive and fair. The current turn around time is about 10-12 days and they keep that updated on the front page of their site. I highly recommend this company and their products. I really think you will enjoy them too.

Customer service at Crater Lake Company is excellent. As I mentioned in an earlier blog post, this was my first etailer order (other than tea and paper/scrapbooking supplies) in a couple of years. It could not have been better! Through my one wonderful experience, I will undoubtedly be a CLC customer for years to come. I should also mention--free samples--WOW! Sharonn applied a heavy hand while dolling out the samples. She even took it upon herself to make me a body cream in the same custom scent she did for my conditioner. Smells divine, once again. I am sharing the other samples with some of my bath-happy friends! If I could rate my CLC experience on a scale of 1-10, it'd be about a 22.

On top of everything, I also got some cute little samples. The Aloe Smoothie Lotion samples came in those adorable itty-bitty jars (and the Balinese Tea fragrance is now one of my new favorites). The Cream & Sugar Scrub sample matches the Comforting Crème, so it will be fun to layer.
I am so overly pleased with this order. I will definitely be ordering from Crater Lake Company again. Very, very impressive.

My second order arrived a few days ago and it was really nice to see your personal note. I don't see that very often so it was a nice surprise! Thank you so much for that! And I really liked my first order. Everything looked so pretty and I already have a few favourite scents which I'll definitely be reodering. And my mom was here when I opened the package and confiscated the Peach Fizz and Fig Tea & Cucumber immediately so it definitely was a success :) The second order was a present for my cousin's birthday and she loved it. Especially the Madame Buttercream.

I just wanted to let you know I received my very first order a few days ago and I could not be any more pleased with your products. Thank you so much for the generous samples - Dial M for Marshmallow smells good enough to eat! I'm already planning my next order, and I look forward to trying many more of your products and fragrances. Thank you again for such a fantastic order!

I just wanted to let you know that I am wearing Gilded Lily in the Duet Butter Creme at work right now as I type and I am in scent heaven. And last week, I was wearing your Linen Sugar and every time I caught a sniff of it, it was like an instant mood booster - true aromatherapy. Just wanted to thank you for making such incredible scents, you offer scent blends that are exquisite and complex and in a league all their own. I am so grateful and appreciative, they really make my day a little brigher.
Renee (Aliso Viejo, CA)
Just received my first order from you and I am delighted with everything! The scents (and the heavier concentration I like) are fabulous and true and I appreciate the samples as well. Looking forward to many more orders and wishing you much continued success.

Have a smashing day

Hello, I just wanted to tell you that I received my order today and it's fabulous! I love it all, especially the Cream & Lavender scent. I hope you bring it back someday.
I plan to place an order once you open again in June.
Keep up the good work :-)
Michele (Chandler, AZ)
Received my goodies this morning. Everything is fabulous as usual and I can't even tell you which one is my favorite because they are all amazing scents. Thank you for the generous extras as well as being able to get it all in the flat rate envelope which saved me $14.00, how wonderful of you!
Anyway, thanks again...I'm off to slather on my Red Coconut Cooler, or my Jeweled Citrus Drops or my Twisted Candy...maybe all 3, can't decide!
Have a great weekend,
Kristin (Canada)
I just had to let you know how much I am loving my first order. Your perfumes and scents are top notch! I definitely will have to stock up on your Limited Edition "Candy" fragrances before June. I can't wait to try the Comforting Creme that I ordered (after your recs). Also, the girls on MUA rave about your conditioner so that's going to have to be in my next order.
Thanks so much and have a great weekend!
Tracie (Eastport, ID)
Hey Sharonn! I got my order today and am loving everything. Lemon blueberry frosting...love!!! :) And I'm really liking the peach Comforting Creme mixed with the Coconut Milk Touch-Up I got in my last order. Thanks again for everything!
Christy (Ironton, OH)
Hi Sharonn! I just wanted to let you know that I got my orders today and I am so thrilled!
First of all, thank you for the generous upgrades and samples! It was so exciting to see them, and hey, more CLC is always better!
Second, I'm sure you know your products are awesome 'cause you're a bath junkie too, but it needs saying again. Your products are awesome. The quality is always excellent, the scents are fabulous and unique, the labeling and packaging is cute yet professional, and the amount of love that goes into packing them is evident! Who else sends me rose petals and candy?
I truly love every single thing I've tried, and can't wiat to try the ones I haven't...I'm about to take a nice long shower with some Triple Action Body Buffer and I'm really looking forward to it! =)
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for your generosity and for your dedication to making the best bath and body products around. Keep up the good work!
Angela (Elgin, IL)
Hi Sharonn! I received my order today and I love it! Everything smells fabulous and I love the Whipped Soy Body Butter. My fiance's favorite is the White Peach and Tiger Lotus Tea. It's fantastic. And the extras are awesome! I put on a bit of the Red Coconut Cooler...Wow! I can't wait to finish everything so I can make another order. Thank you so much!

(This letter was forwarded to me by a customer who had sent some CLC goodies to her sister-in-law)
I got my package from you today and I love every single jar! The scents are MAGNIFICENT! I love them all, however I must admit the Sweet Cream & Lavender is amazing! You should not have done it, but I must admit I'm glad you did. I have vacillated over what scents to try, therefore dragging my feet, but now I know! However, if 6 out of 6 are great, I'm pretty confident they all must be pretty good.
Susan (Nofrolk, VA)
Hi Sharonn! I just wanted to tell you that I got my order today. Everything looks and smells amazing! I really hope you'll keep the $11 shipping for internationals! Because I definitely wnat to order again!
Have a great day,
Sabine (Germany)
You have gone far beyond in customer service. Right now I can honestly say that you are number one in my etailer list. Everything from products to customer service was stellar. I will be ordering again and again.
