Essential Oils & Plants Are Essential For Organic Body Care, Here's Why!

Essential Oils and Plants

Since biblical times, essential oils and plants have been widely used traditionally for bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal, antiparasitical, insecticidal, medicinal and cosmetic applications, especially nowadays in pharmaceutical, sanitary, cosmetic, organic body care, agricultural and even the food industries. So for those of us looking for humane and truly natural solutions for our skin, hair and body issues, it’s a good bet to stick with what God has created, instead of man’s altered versions of it. Scripture states that the leaves from the trees are for the healing of the body, who could argue with this. Lets face it, when we do and science interferes by genetically modifying God’s creations, there’s plenty of solid evidence that results have been less than stellar.  Actually, very damaging with lasting effects on our health and the wellbeing of the planet. There’s only one creator, it’s wise for us to remember this.

With this being said, Below is a lovely outline describing some of our ingredients and why we use them as the foundation of our organic body care brand. Just below there is another chart with some other useful information about our products.

Helichrysum 

The plant used to infuse this argan oil is called "Everlasting" and /or "Immortelle" for a reason...it has the exceptional ability to never fade or wilt, even when picked. Many healing properties have been attributed to both, everlasting and argan oil. It's a wonderful soothing agent for sensitive and acne prone skin.  Our Everlasting-Argan Helichrysum oil holds an important place for its broad range of healing plant properties, which can benefit individuals from many walks of life; it’s called immortelle for a reason. So for those of you who are active in sports, busy supporting your children with scraps and bruises, looking to heal and improve your skin’s appearance, or simply want something to assist with overall skin maintenance, this oil can support you in your quest for results by using on a regular basis.

Immortal Rose Oil

Our multipurpose immortal rose oil is exquisite for several reasons. It's an excellent treatment for aging dry skin, problematic redness of the skin and also serves as an excellent organic scent (smells just like fresh cut roses). It also serves as an excellent hair conditioner. Argan oil has traditionally been known as an excellent hair conditioner, infused with a special blend of organic essential oils will bring in moisture while nourishing and protecting the hair from the environment. It is a blessing from the earth. Please use as a leave-in treatment that conditions to restores moisture to fine/normal hair. It renews cell structure and restores shine to your damaged, starved hair, thus eliminating frizz for all hair types. It will strengthen and soften brittle locks and is gentle on fine hair, and more than capable of taming unmanageable hair. It will absorb quickly and penetrate deep into the hair shaft, healing and nourishing from the inside out. Please note to use sparingly, applying too much can create an oily feeling and we don’t want it to weigh down your hair, you only require a dime size amount. Hair should still be damp so that the oil combines with the remaining water in the hair to insure even distribution. If you are not happy with the results, increase your amount slowly. The results will be hair that is wonderfully conditioned with a lovely shine and no oily residue left on your hair. Excellent for Dry and Damaged Hair.

Night Serum (Neroli Infused)

This will help your skin find its eternal fountain of youth. This easy to absorb oil will helps to minimize lines and wrinkles, bringing moisture to your skin as it nourishes and protects from the environment. We suggest using our Serum oil prior to going to bed, which will assist with your skin’s own ability to regenerate itself. Cell regeneration is a natural process where fresh, new skin cells replace old, dead skin. This happens quicker at night compared to daytime. Vitamins and other healing/anti-aging plant properties lose potency after exposure to sunlight, which render them less effective. Due to there being no sunlight exposure at night, vitamins and other skin healing properties are believed to stay active longer and can provide more anti-aging benefits for your skin (by supporting the skin’s hydro-lipid layer). This oil is a truly natural solution for youthful, healthy and beautiful looking skin.

HELICHRYSUM: The Flower of Youth Your Organic Body Care

HELICHRYSUM: The Flower of Youth in Your Organic Body Care 

From generations past to the present, aging has been viewed as a dreadful monster that comes to steal your beauty and health away so we spend time and money looking for solutions and hopefully you're doing so within the organic body care. Before you know it, aging creeps in, then wrinkles and age spots start to develop or become more prominent, your body starts to ache, gravity checks in and things aren’t as tight as they use to be. The obsession with aging and how to prevent it has been around for centuries. It can be traced back to the 16^thcentury, when Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon was rumored to have discovered Florida while searching for the fountain of youth. The idea that there is a fountain of magic waters that can restore youthfulness with one sip seems a bit far-fetched. I believe in what seems to be a proven fact, if you lead an active and healthy lifestyle and are conscious of what you put in and on your body, you can slow the effects of aging. Apparently, I’m not the only person who believes in this statement- most people do, which is why you see so many businesses within the cosmetic industry attaching “anti-aging” to their product labels. 

Although there will always be consumers who buy into “anti-aging” products simply because the packaging says “anti-aging”, many consumers are becoming more knowledgeable of which ingredients actually helps slow down the process of aging. An ingredient in particular that has been dated back to Greek myths such as Homer’s Odyssey as a beauty elixir is Helichrysum. Helichrysum (arenarium) is a flower which produces an essential oil known to have great skin rejuvenating, anti-inflammatory and cell-regenerative properties. Helichrysum is also known as Everlasting and/or Immortelle, because it retains its shape and beautiful yellow coloring even if plucked and dried. Just imagine what those properties can do for ones skin. This flower grows in the European and Mediterranean regions amongst sandy, dry, and rocky areas. 

Skin aging, as defined by the National Center of Biotechnology Information, is a complex, multi-factorial process whose baseline rate is genetically determined but that may be accelerated by environmental, mechanical, or socioeconomic factors. The intrinsic structural changes that occur with the aging of the skin increase skin fragility decrease the ability of the skin to heal, increase risk for toxicological injuries, promote the development of various cutaneous disorders, and produce aesthetically undesirable effects like wrinkling and uneven pigmentation [1] . The amazing healing properties of Helichrysum, include the ability to help reduce free-radical oxidative damage, stimulate cell regeneration, reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, dermatitis, and acne, as well as tone and tighten skin that has reduced elasticity – all which are issues of maturing skin. As wonderful as the essential oil of Helichrysum is, it is not commonly seen in many beauty and/or organic body care products. I relate this to the fact that pure Helichrysum essential oil isn’t easy to get in large quantities nor is it cheap. Although it’s an expensive essential oil, the medicinal properties are exceptional and definitely well worth the price. 

The benefits of Helichrysum essential oil used in organic body care is not just limited to consumers who are dealing with issues of aging skin, scars, eczema, dry skin, but it’s great for preserving and maintaining the beauty of young vibrant skin as well. It has also been known to contribute to healing properties of the liver and nervous system according to the aromatherapy industry. It’s never too early or too late to begin caring about the health and maintenance of your skin and we’re encouraging it by incorporating this amazing essential oil into most of our formulations. The fountain of youth lies within all of us – it’s our outlook on life, it’s the decisions that we make regarding our health, it’s the ability to consistently possess a positive outlook on life. So the next time you look in the mirror, and become terrified that the monster known as “Aging” is coming to get you, remember one thing, YOU HOLD THE POWER.
