GENERAL PRODUCT INTRODUCTION: Sensatia Botanical creams impart a golden gleam on the skin which no other substance can reproduce; when used regularly they give the skin a healthy sheen which catches the light and inevitably makes heads turn.
Sensatia Botanical creams always contain 100% pure, plant-based oils that are protein-rich and packed with vitamin & minerals. These pure plant base oils are nourishing, soothing and moisturizing. They help the skins ability to function, breathe, absorb light, regulate skin temperature, and maintain elasticity.
SPECIFIC TO THIS PRODUCT:Jojoba oil is a cold-pressed oil from the scrubby desert evergreen native to the arid Sonora Desert. Although Native Americans harvested Jojoba and utilized its curative properties for centuries, it wasn't until the 1970s that scientists discovered the oil extracted from jojoba's waxy beans could provide an alternate natural vegetable base for cosmetics, thus putting an end to unnecessary use of oil from the endangered Sperm Whale.
The oil (actually a liquid wax) is quite miraculous (chemically) in that it very closely resembles our skins own oil secretion, sebum. When jojoba oil is massaged into the face it combines with sebum to gently unclog and free pores releasing potential acne-causing dirt and bacteria.
Furthermore, studies have shown that 5 of the most common acne causing bacteria's are incapable of surviving in jojoba oil; thus concluding that it not only would prevent these harmful bacteria's from surviving, but with daily use jojoba oil could possibly kill bacteria leading to clearer looking, acne-free skin.
Although jojoba oil does not "seal" off the skin (it in fact encourages the skin to breathe) it also has a remarkable ability to assist the skin with the prevention of moisture and water loss. Much the same way as the jojoba plant itself can survive the extreme heat of day and extreme cold of night in the desert, jojoba allows no liquids to evaporate, stores what liquid it receives in the form of rainfall, and can live beautifully for up to 100 years.
Beeswax, derived from the honeycomb, is one of the oldest raw ingredients used in cosmetic preparations. It serves as an emulsifier and binder in water-in-oil emulsions. When applied to the skin it forms a network and links other raw materials to itself rather than sitting alone forming its own film on the surface.
The Honey that is used for this particular product is wild honey Sensatia purchases from local bee keepers in Bali. It is considered traditional Balinese medicine for a number of skin conditions. It is honey in its purest form made from bees that collect nectar from the many tropical flowers of Bali's countryside. In skincare, honey lays down a clear, protective film on the skin that helps maintain moisture. It hydrates and soothes the skin and is thought to be slightly antiseptic and bacteriostatic. Honey contains about 10 enzymes, one hormone (acetylcholine) inhibin (a bacteriostatic agent, similar to antibiotics) phosphate, calcium, magnesium, copper, manganese, potassium, iron & vitamins B2, B6 and C.
Wheatgerm oil is very high in vitamin E and essential fatty acids. Vitamin E is well known for its potent antioxidant effects in tissue and skin. When applied topically wheatgerm oil can promote the formation of new cells, improve circulation, and can help repair sun-damaged skin. It has a regenerative and restructuring quality that can repair damaged skin and help you look younger.
Vanilla essential oil is actually not an essential oil at all but rather a resinoid or extraction from the resin-like substance found in the cured vanilla bean. This curing process can take 5 or 6 months or until the pods are soft and turn dark brown. Nonetheless, vanilla oil is absolutely erotically delicious. So much so that the pleasure of this dark brown liquid with its sweet, smooth, enticing fragrance and flavor was forbidden to Aztec woman in the sixteenth century. Vanilla oil is comforting, warming and gently stimulating; an aphrodisiac.
Ylang Ylang essential oil is from a tropical tree which can reach a height of 100 feet (30m). The branches gracefully arch, bearing intensely fragrant, large tender yellow flowers that bloom constantly. Ylang Ylang is native to tropical Asia. The aroma is intensely sweet, heavy, jasmine like, and floral. Its odour effect is warming and intoxicating. A toning blossom oil, ylang ylang 1st (made from the 1st pressing of the delicate flowers) can help balance sebaceous glands of either dry or oily skin, is delightfully fragrant, and when used regularly will help maintain healthy, balanced skin.
Sandalwood oil has a soft, sweet, woody, balsamic aroma, with excellent tenacity. Its odour effect is calming and anti-depressant. It has been used for centuries as both a perfume and a medicinal agent. The thick brownish yellow liquid is antiseptic, slightly astringent, soothing, rejuvenating and aphrodisiac. It is one of the few oils from the botanical world that actually gets better with age. When used in skin care, it is especially effective for raw, infected, oily, or dry skin, and also has proven to help in the treatment of itchy skin and acne. Sandalwood oil can help balance either dry or oily skin. There is no substitute for sandalwood's gentle, lingering aroma and is why it can be found as a component in almost every designer perfume.
As you can see, Sensatia has chosen only the richest, most nourishing/ healing, botanicals available. The wild Honey Day Barrier Cream is the most effective treatment to help your skin's acid mantle develop a protective and moisture regulating film that will protect you all day long. All these nurturing benefits and smells incredible too.
