and Asia for centuries in hair and skin care for its smoothing, calming, and
firming properties.
Honey: Honey increases circulation, encouraging a natural, healthy radiance. A
natural humectant, honey helps your skin absorb and retain moisture, which
keeps it from drying out while keeping it glowing radiantly. Honey is packed
with natural antioxidants and antimicrobial properties, which help protect, repair,
and prevent skin damage.
Jojoba oil: Jojoba is not actually oil, but rather, a noncomedogenic liquid wax.
It is widely considered to be one of the best choices for facial care, as it closely
resembles our sebum, is highly penetrating, and does not leave an oily residue,
which makes it beneficial in all types of skin care. Jojoba contains the anti-
inflammatory myristic acid, which makes it a good choice to use in products
formulated to relieve sore muscles, joints, and arthritis.
Kaolin clay: A white powdered form of hydrated aluminum silicate, kaolin clay
has electromagnetic qualities and contains various trace minerals, including iron,
magnesium, calcium, sodium, zinc, and more. The molecules in natural clays
have a negative ionic surface charge that actually pulls toxins out through the
pores of the skin. Kaolin is highly absorbent, drawing excess oils, impurities,
and environmental toxins from the skin’s surface. Clay masks dislodge old
sebum that is clogged in pores.
Lavender: This universally healing herb is beneficial in skin care, as it works to
regulate sebum production, fosters the regeneration of new skin cells, and
soothes inflamed skin. Known to be cooling, healing, and tonic, lavender is both
relaxing and revitalizing for your mind, body, and spirit. It is an adaptogen,
which means that it works with your body’s specific needs, adapting itself to be
soothing or revitalizing as needed.
