I love the fragrance, the smooth, silky feeling on my skin! I highly recommend this very nourishing body lotion!
Love this lotion! It absorbs quickly and smells amazing.
Lovely, subtle spicy fragrance, very smooth and silky on the skin. Will definitely add this to my forever product list
Creamy, awesome smell
Love that this comes in a larger pump bottle.
I was staying with some friends who had this lotion in their guest bath. I loved it so much that I had to order some for when I got home. The scent is fantastic and the texture of the lotion is just right--not sticky, but calming and hydrating. Great product!
I bought the travel size and loved it so much, that I had to get the larger bottle. Like all of their lotions, this goes on so smoothly (especially if your skin is damp). I absolutely love the scent- the hint of spice is just amazing. This is one of my favorite lotions.
I positively LOVE the Ginger Cardamom lotion. It smells heavenly, goes on smoothly, and doesn't leave a sticky sensation on my skin. Five stars for sure!!
Love the product, Fragrant, but not overwhelmingly so and sinks right into the skin. Approve of your glass container, but since I have no cell phone, accessing the assembly directions from a QR code took a bit of cooperation with others.
Awesome lotion
I usually use the Lavender Vanilla but decided on the Ginger Cardamom for winter. It has such a rich , warm smell and couldn’t be nicer for the cold winter days.
Do you want to smell like warm gingerbread? This is the lotion for you. Silky, moisturizing, and smells so good.
The Ginger Cardamom healed my skin lesions that popped up a few years ago. Nothing helped much. Then I was going to use up some years old Ginger Cardamom lotion just to get rid of it. Behold...the skin lesions dried up over night. I ordered more to use after every shower because the lesions do come back but not as much. The ski responds to this lotion every use.
Wow. I just love this fragrance. Ginger cardamom is amazing and so unexpected!! Who knew it could be so good? I live in Maine but visit Orcas a couple times a year. I always stock up on this lotion when I’m on island. Maine winters require lots of lotion and this is the best!!!
Thanks Elizabeth!
So glad to hear that the ginger cardamom scent has been an unexpected hit with you! Hope you get back to Orcas soon to restock on lotion.

All of Island Thyme’s products are amazing!
Amazing ingredients and divine scents.
The lotion is light yet hydrating. My favorite body lotion.
Island Thyme’s products are wonderful.
I especially enjoy Ginger Cardamon Lotion as my dry skin happily soaks it up. I also enjoy it’s unique fragrance ~ fun to have a new smell :-)
Used as a gift for a friend. She loves it! Ginger Cardamom is a perfect, non floral scent
This lotion is so nourishing, I cannot imagine using anything else.
3 letters describe this product: Meh!
When I put this lotion on I feel hydrated and I have a wonderful gentle smell that isn't over powering. I feel pretty when I use it
Feels and smells wonderful. My favorite lotion. I appreciate being able to refill my smaller bottles.
We live in DC but on a visit to the Islands bought this lotion and were hooked. Now we order it online and it takes us back to the sites and sounds of strolling through Eastsound!
This is great lotion clean subtle perfume soft smooth lotion. Thanks so much!
The smell and feel of this lotion are amazing!! I look forward to using it every day. I bought several Island Thyme's products recently and love them all. My favorite are the lip balms. I can't wait to give these products in gift baskets over the Holidays. Thank you so much!!
'The Ginger Cardamon Lotion is so soft, buttery and delicious smelling that I bought it in the classy frosted bottle as a gift for a dear friend.
It’s yummy!! The smell, the weight, the super soft results!!
With all my recent hand washing, I was looking for a soothing balm to treat my overly dry hands. This didn't disappoint! Fabulously rich in texture and the scent is truly delicious!
I don’t write reviews, but the world needs to know that this is the best lotion (and I’ve tried hundreds!) Silky texture, non-greasy, easy to apply, and smells delicious! Tried it in Washington and now have it shipped to me in NY—it’s that good.
I love this lotion. Between applications, I open the bottle for an aromatherapy sniff from time to time,
I love the spicy smell of this lotion, and it's just creamy enough and light enough that it absorbs right away.
It smells absolutely wonderful. This my second order from Island Thyme was saddened because it had leaked out inside the package. So I will not get the full quantity that we paid for ☹️
But that was done in shipping.
This was my first time using the ginger and cardamom lotion. I've tried all the others and love them all, but this may be my favorite. It is the perfect weight for my skin type along the Northern California ocean. Light enough to soak in nicely but Rich enough to keep my skin soft and supple.
Our Process
Nature's best
We start with the highest quality flowers, herbs, and medicinals. Some, like calendula, lavender, and cucumber, come from the Island Thyme farm. Others, like St. John's Wort, are wildcrafted in Montana's Bitterroot Mountains. Others are sourced from around the world.
Time-tested recipes
All of our recipes have been developed in-house over the past 25+ years. Starting from skin-nourishing base ingredients like sweet almond oil and beeswax, we fine-tune the scent and texture.
Small batches
No industrial manufacturing here! In our commercial kitchen in the village of Eastsound on Orcas Island, our crew meticulously crafts each product in small batches for freshness and quality control.
Delivered to you
After labeling, products are ready for you, our amazingly loyal customers. Our shipping team boxes up online orders, stocks our two storefronts in Eastsound and Friday Harbor, and prepares shipments to our wholesale outlets, which include natural food stores and gift shops throughout the Pacific Northwest
