OUR INGREDIENTS AND THEIR
scientifically magical Properties
COCONUT OIL: FOR MOISTURIZATION
As a fantastic-smelling, high-powered moisturizer, it’s easy to see why coconut oil is the foundational ingredient of our Exfoliating Aromatherapy Body Scrubs.
Studies have also shown that coconut oil may help protect your skin from excessive moisture loss, as well as external factors such as moisture infectious agents, chemicals & allergens. Plus, its lauric acid content means it possesses naturally antimicrobial & antifungal properties. This may be one of the reasons coconut oil has been shown to reduce the severity of many types of bacteria- or fungal-based skin conditions, including acne, cellulitis, folliculitis and athlete’s foot.
Of course, coconut oil’s natural anti-inflammatory properties also help ease inflammation by improving antioxidants within the body. This can help clear up skin disorders, as chronic inflammation is a big part of psoriasis, contact dermatitis, eczema and more.
Coconuts: Mother Nature’s super plant.
EPSOM SALT: FOR EXFOLIATION
Did you know? Epsom salt (also known as magnesium sulfate) helps regulate more than 300 enzymes in the body, and also helps them flush toxins.
Its ability to be absorbed through the skin is one reason many medical specialists prescribe Epsom salt baths as a safe and easy way to increase the body’s levels of magnesium and sulfur. This simple treatment is great for all ages, and helps ease muscle & joint pains, decreases swelling & inflammation, detoxifies the body, tightens pores and tones the skin. For those reasons, epsom salt became another core ingredient of our Exfoliating Aromatherapy Scrubs.
ESSENTIAL OILS: FOR AROMATHERAPY
There’s a science behind our fantastic scents! Each of our hand-blended body scrubs contains a unique blend of 100% pure, undiluted, natural, ethically & sustainably-sourced Essential Oils.
Peppermint
Peppermint has been used medicinally throughout history in a number of ways! With a scent that’s cool & clear with layers of minty sweetness, it’s remained a favorite for generations of people, who have used it for teas, digestive aids, added flavors and more.
In its distilled form, peppermint essential oil has many uses. Some people find it helpful to stay focused and avoid drifting thoughts, while others use peppermint oils to alleviate feelings of grief, worry, or heaviness. Plus, it can help soothe body soreness and ease the discomfort of insect bites.
When you factor in that peppermint can also ease nausea and headaches, it’s easy to see why peppermint oil makes a highly therapeutic addition to our formula.
Lemon
With a deliciously bright and citrusy scent, lemon essential oil lends a crisp & clean edge to our body scrubs.
Lemon has long been used to uplift sullen moods and inspire positive thinking! Additionally, its astringent properties can temper oily skin by tightening your pores & regulating oil production. These properties make it essential to our recipe.
Lavender
As one of the most widely-used ingredients, lavender is well-known for its calming properties which can lead to more restful sleep.
Lavender essential oil is not only mentally soothing, but works wonders on the skin! Lavender can also contribute to healing wounds, blemishes, irritation, and redness. It can also help soothe insect bites and eczema discomfort, as well as reduce fine lines & wrinkles. And that’s not all! With its gently sweet, floral yet herbaceous scent, lavender essential oil is also commonly used to relieve headache symptoms.
