Better Together Gift Set | Raw Extra Virgin Olive Oil Hand Wash + Lotion
The two products you reach for most in the bathroom and kitchen, elevated into something genuinely lovely. The ODE Better Together Gift Set pairs McEvoy Ranch's Hand & Body Wash and Hand & Body Lotion in a beautifully repurposable gift box with two reusable pumps and a satin ribbon — the complete daily ritual, matched in scent, ready to give or keep. No unnecessary extras. Just the two things that actually get used every day, made considerably better than anything you'd find on a drugstore shelf.
Both products are built around McEvoy Ranch's estate-grown Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, certified by CCOF since 1996. The wash is a nourishing foaming formula that cleanses without stripping — the EVOO lifts dirt naturally while aloe vera, glycerin, and chamomile flower extract work together to maintain the skin barrier rather than disrupt it. The lotion follows with a fast-absorbing, non-greasy formula rich in squalene from the EVOO, which mimics the skin's natural sebum and delivers sustained hydration that holds through the day. Used together in sequence — wash, then lotion — they deliver a complete clean-and-condition protocol that leaves skin noticeably softer with consistent daily use.
Both are fragrance-matched so the scent story flows seamlessly from wash to lotion. Select your scent above.
Choose Your Scent
Verde — McEvoy Ranch's signature. Fresh-cut grass, herbaceous basil, green olive, and ripe tomato leaf. The distinct, uplifting feeling of walking through an olive grove at harvest. Named Most Transporting Scent in the 2024 Oprah Daily Bath O-wards and featured in Oprah's 2025 Favorite Things.
Citrus — Energizing and dimensional. Orange citrus up front, with spicy ginger and earthy vetiver underneath. Complex and contemporary — not sweet, not simple, full of depth. Inspired by the citrus trees in McEvoy Ranch's culinary garden.
Lavender — Calming and modern. True lavender blended with jasmine, tuberose, and sandalwood into something richer and more layered than a single floral — an uplifting, grounding blend to support peace and wellbeing. Inspired by the 2,000 lavender plants on Lavender Hill at the Ranch.
Unscented — Fragrance-free. The full formula with no added scent, for sensitive skin or those who prefer to layer with their own fragrance. Evokes the clean, misty air of the Northern California coast.
What the Wash Does
The ODE Hand & Body Wash is a foaming formula that does something most cleansers don't — it genuinely nourishes as it cleans rather than stripping the skin and leaving it tight. Organic EVOO naturally dissolves dirt and impurities without disrupting the lipid barrier. Aloe vera calms and balances with trace minerals and phytonutrients. Glycerin binds moisture to the skin surface. Chamomile flower extract delivers B vitamins for a healthy, even glow. The result is clean skin that feels hydrated rather than depleted — which makes the lotion step that follows work even better.
What the Lotion Does
The ODE Hand & Body Lotion is fast-absorbing and non-greasy — it sinks in within seconds and holds moisture through repeated hand-washing and daily activities. The squalene in McEvoy Ranch's EVOO is the key ingredient: structurally similar to the skin's own sebum, it replenishes the lipid layer without heaviness. The formula is also anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich, protecting the skin from free radical damage throughout the day. It is the lotion you leave on the counter and actually use because it feels good, not just because you should.
About the Pumps
Two reusable pumps are included — one for each bottle. McEvoy Ranch's sustainability commitment means reusable pumps are sold separately for individual products to reduce landfill waste. In this gift set, they come included. The aluminum bottles accept the pumps directly and can be refilled from McEvoy Ranch's growler-size (59 fl oz) refill bottles when empty, making the packaging indefinitely reusable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Better Together Gift Set?
The set includes the ODE Hand & Body Wash (7.6 fl oz), the ODE Hand & Body Lotion, two reusable pumps — one for each bottle — all packaged in a repurposable gift box finished with a satin ribbon. Both products are fragrance-matched in your chosen scent. The reusable pumps are a meaningful inclusion: they are sold separately for individual products on McEvoy Ranch's site, so having them already included adds real value to this set.
What scents are available?
Verde — Fresh-cut grass, herbaceous basil, green olive, and ripe tomato leaf. McEvoy Ranch's signature scent, named Most Transporting Scent in the 2024 Oprah Daily Bath O-wards and featured in Oprah's 2025 Favorite Things.
Citrus — Orange citrus, spicy ginger, and earthy vetiver. Energizing and dimensional, inspired by the citrus trees in McEvoy Ranch's culinary garden.
Lavender — Lavender with jasmine, tuberose, and sandalwood. Modern, layered, and grounding, inspired by 2,000 lavender plants on Lavender Hill at the Ranch.
Unscented — Fragrance-free for sensitive skin or those who prefer no added scent.
Why does the hand wash not strip or dry out skin?
Most body washes strip the skin's natural lipid barrier along with the dirt. The ODE Hand & Body Wash uses McEvoy Ranch's Organic EVOO as its primary cleanser — olive oil dissolves impurities through a like-dissolves-like mechanism that does not disrupt the skin barrier. Aloe vera, glycerin, and chamomile flower extract then actively work to calm, hydrate, and protect the skin during and after cleansing. The result is skin that feels clean without the tight, depleted sensation that conventional surfactants produce.
What makes the lotion fast-absorbing when it contains olive oil?
The key is squalene — a lipid naturally present in high concentrations in olive oil and in human skin. Because squalene is structurally similar to the skin's own sebum, it absorbs quickly and integrates into the skin's lipid layer rather than sitting on the surface. This is what distinguishes it from heavier plant oils that can feel greasy. The ODE lotion absorbs within seconds and holds moisture through repeated hand-washing and daily wear without leaving residue on surfaces or fabrics.
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Both products are formulated without parabens, sulfates, and phthalates, and are free of synthetic dyes. The Unscented variant is specifically fragrance-free for sensitive skin. All ODE formulas are built on organic olive oil, which is generally well-tolerated and has natural anti-inflammatory properties. The hand wash uses gentle surfactants and is free of the harsh cleansers associated with skin irritation.
Why are the reusable pumps notable?
McEvoy Ranch's sustainability strategy means reusable pumps are sold separately for individual product purchases to reduce landfill waste — the pumps are designed to be used indefinitely across refills. In this gift set, both pumps are included, which adds meaningful value and eliminates a step for the recipient. When the bottles are empty, they can be refilled from McEvoy Ranch's 59 fl oz growler-size refill bottles rather than discarded, making the aluminum packaging indefinitely reusable.
Has ODE been featured or recognized by Oprah?
Yes. The ODE Hand & Body Lotion Discovery Set was named to Oprah's 2025 Favorite Things — Oprah described the lotions as fast-absorbing and silk-leaving, noting the Verde scent specifically. The Verde Body Oil was also named Most Transporting Scent in the 2024 Oprah Daily Bath O-wards. These recognitions apply directly to the same formulas and scents in this gift set.
What occasions is this set best suited for?
It is a versatile gift that works across almost any occasion — holiday, birthday, thank-you, housewarming, hostess gift, sympathy, or just treating yourself. Because it contains two large-format daily-use products, it feels generous and considered rather than token. The repurposable box with satin ribbon arrives fully gift-ready with no additional wrapping needed. Georgetown Olive Oil Co. ships nationwide and offers gift cards for those who want to let the recipient choose their own scent.
Is this cruelty-free and certified organic?
Yes. The ODE line is Leaping Bunny Certified and cruelty-free — no animal testing at any stage of production or ingredient sourcing. The EVOO base carries CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers) organic certification that McEvoy Ranch has maintained since 1996. Formulated without parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.
Can I refill the bottles when they run out?
Yes. McEvoy Ranch sells growler-size (59 fl oz) refill bottles for both the Hand & Body Wash and Lotion in all scents. The aluminum bottle design accepts refills directly, making the packaging indefinitely reusable. This refill system means the per-use cost comes down significantly over time and the packaging never needs to be discarded.
