This is a very relaxing store which is all about zen and relaxation. They make their own soaps and lotions with a variety of natural oils. They'll make up anything you want with any scent right there on the spot. I bought some rum shaving balm last year which smells great. They have incense, candles, clothing, books, music, and other great stress relieving things. Today we got some 100% organic facial cleanser, lavender lotion, and some thing else...... but I won't say.... :D read more

For about 8 years now, I have used their Clear Skin glycerin soap, and it works like a charm!! :) I have had clear skin for years!!! There were a few times where I strayed from this soap due to the price ($8/bar) but always come back!!! Living in Long Beach is very far from my second home, and found out they shipped all over the U.S.!!! The other soaps and lotions are so fantastic and great smelling! They are a bit on the pricey side but very well worth it!! read more

You know when you go on vacation and your lips get all chapped on the big long drive and you can't wait to get to your hotel so you can dig out your Burt's Bees lip balm? And then you get there and you discover you can't find your Burt's Bees lip balm? This place resupplied my fix. And it only cost $2.50 -- I'm paying $3.50 in town, man. I should have bought a few more... read more

Before we made our exit from Cambria, we stopped by Exotic Nature. The window displays didn't lend fo the fact that there would be much for us to buy for us, but we decided to venture in, anyway. The place is chocked full of comfortable looking women's wear: think new-age, yoga-type wear. That's not what drew us in. It was the large selection of scents that could be mixed for you to make lotion, body wash, and other skin care products. Now, I'm very loyal to The Body Shop, but sometimes their prices are a little out of range. At Exotic Nature, they do custom blending, and not totally out of reach, either. I got a 4 oz aftershave lotion for $8. At The Body Shop, something of the size would cost easily $15+. Small town prices on something that normally would cost an arm and a leg, normally. The lady behind the counter was very pleasant to deal with, and was willing to help us out with mixing scents. Can't wait for our next Cambria vacation so that we can pick a few more items up. PS Just found out that they do have an online store, too! http://www.exoticnature.com/search.html read more

Love everything! Lotions, soaps, jewelry, clothes, candles, etc.... Owner is very friendly!

Very nice selection of beauty/spa products. The Bath Tea Bags are awesome! Pricey, but for a relaxing vacation, worth it!!! read more

Dreamy and peaceful with something for every woman. Artisan fashion and jewelry and pretty fragrance combinations from essential oils. It's a unique, quaint and lovely shop with a lot of character and warmth. read more

I love this place - just walking in is like visiting a day spa. Tons of bath and beauty products plus comfy (expensive) clothes, books, and candles to help you feel like a new person. No trip to Cambria is complete without a stop here. read more

Cute place. Fun gift type things.

This is one of those places where you can walk in and easily walk out with several hundred dollars' worth of things you didn't know you needed. We stopped by on our way through our trip up HIghway 1. It smells wonderful and the impulse buying options here are infinite. I actually walked out with nothing....but HAD to walk back to get that fluffy bathrobe and the 2 pair of earrings that caught my eye... read more

This is one of my favorite clothing and spa article shops anywhere. We stay in Cambria regularly and this is a place that I make a special effort to visit. We travel extensively for business and I love the Tianello brand of Tencel clothing, which looks great throughout whatever travel abuse I subject it to. It's hard to find in stores, unfortunately. Luckily, Exotic Nature has a nice selection, along with some other comfy soft clothing items for bed and everyday wear. I also love their candles, books, accessories, cute costume jewelry, natural products (lotions and soaps) and other spa and gift items. They make great and thoughtful gifts for those left back home. I am a Native Californian who also lives in the midwest part time. When we haven't traveled to Cambria for a while, I've even purchased things online or, in cases where they do not have my size of Tianello in stock, I have had them order them and ship them to me in the Midwest. They also have a sale rack where I have gotten some of my favorite items at fabulous prices. Jeez...Right now I am 2,000 miles away and, after writing this, I want to visit Exotic Nature RIGHT NOW!!! read more

A little bit hard to find, but quite worth it! Love this shop and the lady in there was wonderful...helpful and friendly. It has the lotions and potions and so many other splendid things that made my day. read more

I happened into this shop during a weekend getaway to Cambria in May. I had so much fun browsing through the store and ended up purchasing some beautiful jewelry, including a pair of small dragonfly earrings for my daughter who had her ears pierced the month before. She LOVED these earrings but unfortunately lost one on the playground recently. She was devastated! I did not see any jewelry on the store's website, so I emailed them and explained the situation. Their customer service has been outstanding! Not only did they say they had similar earrings, but they sent me photos and arranged for me to do the purchase over the phone. I really appreciate how helpful they've been and I will definitely shop there again next time I make it to Cambria! read more

The moment you walk in your senses are warmed by the fragrances of a personal spa day. Cute items for yourself or as a gift.. I always go away with a little something. I will return again... read more

I love this place! I come in here every time I'm in Cambria. Staff is friendly and their product selection is great. They make their own products and sell other brands as well. I love their lavender products. Their candle prices are reasonable. Every other store I've gone to that sells lavender products are so expensive. Here you get the same quality for less! This is a must stop when you're in Cambria:) read more

Very disappointed in the lackadaisical and somewhat disinterested service at Exotic Nature when I visited the store in Cambria today. The sales clerk was pleasant enough, but didn 't seem very interested in showing me their products. I asked about some items I had seen online, but she just showed me some items near the front desk and then went back to what she had been previously doing. If she owns this store, fine...but if not, her lack of helpful service has me wondering if I'll bother doing future transactions with them. I'm surprised she didn't show more interest in selling and promoting the store's products. read more

Exotic Nature is one of my favorite stores in Cambria. They carry a variety of skin care products that do not contain harmful ingredients and will custom mix scents. My favorites are lemon verbena, plumeria, and gardenia. There is a good mix of clothing, books, cards, and gift items. The owner is wonderful and provides suggestions tailored to your needs and wants. read more

What a great find! A perfect shop for gifts to take home to friends and family. Love the selection of lavendar lotions, cremes and soaps. The owner is very helpful and so friendly. read more

I love this store, and the people who work there! This store has an excellent selection of organic soaps, lotions, oils and bath products. They also have an excellent selection of scents that you can use to make your own products. They have beautiful clothing and wonderful gifts as well. They spent quite a bit of time educating my daughter about essential oils and letting her test them without pressuring us to buy, what a pleasure!!! read more

Love, love, love! This is a great store to stop in when coming to Cambria. I love their essential oils and you can custom blend scents together to make your own scent. The ladies that work her are very friendly and helpful! Jenn and Michelle are fantastic! :) read more

Nice quality of merchandise. A caveat, though; be very careful when choosing the scents for your lotion/soap. Some are very overpowering. Less is more. read more

I have been visiting Cambria for about 5 years. This quaint little seaside village is full of wonderful restaurants and specialty shops. My favorite shop there is Exotic Nature. The minute I walk in the door I am greeted with a friendly hello and the smell of wonderful lotions and candles. The staff have been there since my first visit and are always so nice and helpful. There is a little bit of everything there and I never leave without buying something. I would recommend this shop to anyone who wants to experience a unique selection of merchandise and to be treated with kindness and respect. DON'T MISS IT!!!!!:) read more

I love this store! Just walking through the door calms my senses. I am a huge fan of the Lemon Verbina soap. I have never come away disappointed, the staff is always gracious and their offerings simpley wonderful! read more
