Healthy Skin with Certified Organic Skincare

Thursday, March 9th, 2023 | Author: Liza Docken Today’s skincare market is flooded with natural products, which can make it hard to decide what’s best for you. We’re all trying to make the cleanest, most responsible choices we can. Pranarōm makes the choice simple with our Organic Plant Beautiful Skincare Line. Certified Organic by EcoCert SA and USDA Organic, this line of effective and easy-to-use products offers more radiant, clearer, calmer skin in just three easy steps. Pranarōm’s Plant Beautiful Skincare line is made from organic essential oils, botanical waters, aloe vera extract, and virgin plant oils – never any synthetics, adulterants, or additives. The collection is comprised of a gentle, yet thorough oil cleanser, 3 varieties of facial mists to prep and hydrate the skin, and 3 varieties of moisture treatment oils to treat the skin. Simplicity doesn’t just apply to the ingredients – it’s quick and easy to use as well! Step One: Cleanse Use the Pure Cleansing oil on dry or damp skin, massaging, warming, and working the oil into the pores to 1) help break up stagnation/clogged pores and 2) remove make-up, dirt, and debris. Finish with a face cloth dipped in warm water that has been wrung out to pat, press, and finally wipe the cleanser from the face. Step Two: Prep & Hydrate Saturate the skin with multiple pumps of facial mist, choosing between the three available varieties: Glow, Clear, or Calm. Feel free to press warm hands against the skin before moving to the next step. Step Three: Treat & Nourish Warm 3-5 drops of moisture treatment oil in your hands, choosing between Glow, Clear, or Calm. Press the treatment oil into still damp skin, allowing the oil and water to combine and deliver the nourishing oil deeply into the skin. Why Oil and Water? The skin on our body has a protective barrier called the Acid Mantle that is made up of oil and water. Using these ingredients for skincare keeps things simple while also highly functional. This simplified approach helps to maintain optimal pH levels of the skin, an integral element of the Acid Mantle. Keeping the skin balanced and protected means healthier skin and better results. The Collections: Glow | Calm | Clear GLOW offers radiance via a facial mist and treatment oil that help revitalize dull skin, boost moisture content, and support skin as it ages. Star ingredients include Rose Geranium (pelargonium graveolens) botanical water, Rose Otto (rosa x damascena) essential oil, Camellia (camelia oleifera) Seed virgin plant oil and Pomegranate (punica granatum) Seed virgin plant oil. CALM ushers in relief via a facial mist and treatment oil that deeply soothe sensitivity and redness while nourishing without irritation. Key elements in this collection include Lemon Balm (melissa officinalis) botanical water, Roman Chamomile (anthemis nobilis) essential oil, Borage (borago officinalis) virgin plant oil and Calendula (calendula officinalis) virgin plant oil. CLEAR makes way for a balanced complexion via a facial mist and treatment oil combo that soothe and support blemish-prone skin. Balancing and purifying elements in these products include Peppermint (mentha x piperita) and Frankincense (boswellia carterii) botanical waters, Willow Bark (salix alba) extract, and Black Cumin (nigella sativa) Seed virgin plant oil. Each collection is tailored to support specific skincare concerns. Thanks to the non-comedogenic and affordable nature of all three collections, products can also be mixed-and-matched, making their applications even more personal and specified.

Essential Oil Profile: Roman Chamomile

What’s in a Name? “Chamomile” comes from the Greek khamaimēlon, which means ‘earth apple’ due to the apple-like scent of chamomile flowers. Related to the daisy, these flowers are often dried for use as herbal medicine, including tea.   History of Chamomile Roman Chamomile has one of the longest recorded histories of the herbal world, going back several millennium. It was dedicated by the ancient Egyptians to their sun god, Ra, and used by the soldiers of ancient Rome to bring courage before battle. Blending Recommendations As the root word ’earth apple’ would suggest, this essential oil has a sweet, fruit-like scent that can be quite strong and pungent.
