The Miraculous Magic Of Beautiful Blossoms.

moringa.jpg

The Body Shop treats us, once again, to the magical miracles of nature as harnessed in the new Moringa Bath & Body range. The Moringa Bath & Body range is The Body Shop’s newest offering and the first floral member across their vast and considerate product array. This fragrant and highly moisturizing collection consists of 6 products featuring Moringa seed oil.

“First used in Ayurvedic medicine some 4,000 years ago, Moringa seed oil comes from the Moringa tree, which is also known as the “miracle tree” due to its wide variety of beneficial uses. The Moringa tree provides 7 times the Vitamin C in oranges, 4 times the calcium and 2 times the protein in milk, 4 times the Vitamin A in carrots and 3 times the potassium as bananas. Moringa seed oil contains high levels of oleic acid, which is a fatty acid that helps to restore the skin’s moisture levels, protects against drying and keeps the skin feeling soft and smooth. The oil was highly treasured by the ancient Roman, Greek, and Egyptian civilizations for use in protecting skin and making perfume. It was so good, that they even used it to create their own skin-smoothing product.”

Furthermore, according to folks at The Body Shop, they just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to use the miraculously moisturizing and nourishing benefits found in Moringa seed oil, hence the Moringa Bath & Body range was born. The Body Shop uses only the finest Community Trade Moringa seed oil and fragrance from the Moringa tree blossoms, as well as other delectably moisturizing and protective Community Trade ingredients in the new range. By choosing Community Trade ingredients, the customer is contributing to a worldwide program that works to support livelihoods for marginalized communities in more than 20 countries across the globe. Gosh, we love that!

Mmm…Great Melting Moments.

We can always use a quality cleanser that can effectively remove makeup, clean up a storm, while leaving our skin feeling its supple, vitaminized best, that is for sure. Clarins may just have come up with a delectable cleanser that can do just that. Clarins Pure Melt Cleansing Gel with Marula oil greets the face with a stellar gel textured formulation that glides onto the face in anticipation for effortless cleansing. Once in contact with the skin, Clarins Pure Melt Cleansing Gel, with aid from the skin’s warmth, melts into an ultra-fine cleansing oil that makes light work of makeup and gently and effectively cleanses the skin from its daily adventures. Upon rinsing with water, the micro-droplets change into a milky emulsion which is easily and thoroughly rinsed off only leaving behind a silky thin veil of hydrating Marula oil, that is rich in oleic fatty acids and a hearty dose of vitamin C (4 times as much vitamin C as oranges in fact!). Who can pass up an opportunity to to indulge in such good clean, lavish fun? Certainly not anyone at Chez Beauty Marked!. Love it!

Clarins Pure Melt Cleansing Gel is on counter from March 24th, 2008. Mmmm…

Just Too Cool.

L’Occitane has recently released 3 trés cool additions to its Verbena Harvest range and all with L’Occitane’s prized organic verbena extract. L’Occitane is proud to introduce you to: Cooling Powdered Foot Gel, Cooling Mousse For Tired Legs, and Cooling Deodorant Stick. This luxe trio is sure to keep you in great step in the warmer months and beyond.

Cooling Powdered Foot Gel With its amazingly novel and appreciated formulation aside, the organic verbena extract and invigorating, yet not-too-minty mint essential oil are able to transform a steamy, uncomfortable pedal predicament into a cool, refreshing, purified, and sensational situation for the soles. Cooling Powdered Foot Gel also contains antimicrobial sage essential oil and absorbent tapioca powder. What Beauty Marked! particularly loves about this all-star line-up of ingredients in this considerate formulation is that it not only manages to sort out your feet, but leaves them aptly treated without the greasy finish. Your feet are left revitalized and feeling silky.

Cooling Mousse For Tired Legs This lightweight mousse increases circulation and eases the tired sensation of weary legs. The mousse transforms into an icy cool liquid upon application, which delivers the perfect amount of menthol, organic verbena extract, and cyprus essential oil to perk-up your pins.

Cooling Deodorant Stick Seeing that your legs and feet are now sorted, why not go for pole position after making a pit stop with L’Occitane’s fast drying, mint and sage essential oil enriched, and alcohol, aluminum salt-free stick deodorant? Cooling Deodorant Stick is infused with the delicate and long-lasting perfume of organic verbena, which leaves us well placed to confidently glide through the day. We love that!

L’Occitane Verbena Harvest is available from all L’Occitane boutiques nationwide and is…just too cool!
