sTRAWBERRIES are a rich source of antioxidants. What this does is, it helps protect your skin against the damage caused by free radicals in the environment. Skin aggressors like UV rays, pollution, exhaust and dirt, all end up damaging your skin and make it appear dull and aged. But since strawberries are a great source of antioxidants, they act from the inside out and help delay signs of ageing such as wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin
Strawberries are rich in salicylic acid and this ingredient aims to reduce acne and acne scars. Additionally, the ellagic acid found in strawberries is really useful to target other problems such as reducing hyperpigmentation and dark spots. These two ingredients, when combined together help to slough away dead skin cells, tighten pores and give you overall clear skin. Strawberries also contain acidic properties that work really well to restrict excess sebum production, reduce the chances of recurring acne and clogged pores. These astringent properties heal inflammation and help in keeping the skin clear and glowing.

cOLLOIDAL oATS Colloidal oatmeal is made by grinding oat grain, or Avena sativa, into a fine powder. It’s considered an emollient — a substance that softens or soothes the skin — because it packs fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients shown to benefit the skin.
Oats (also known as Avena Sativa) have been used for skin care for centuries — spanning back to ancient Roman times where it was used to treat eczema, burns, and other inflammatory skin conditions.
In the time that it’s been used for skin care, oatmeal has always been hailed for its anti-inflammatory properties thanks to the phenol it contains.
A clinical trial on the effects of colloidal oatmeal on the skin found that it soothed inflammation in the form of dryness, scaliness, roughness, itchiness, and irritation on the test subjects’ skin.
Oats contain polysaccharides, hydrocolloids, and fats which work together to create a film over the skin and lock in moisture, making oats a powerful emollient. To put it simply, oats add hydration to dry skin, which can be beneficial for sensitive skin, because excessive dryness often leads to flaking, itching, and irritation if it gets out of hand.

We infuse real vanilla bean pods into our own signature handmade pure extract and luxury oil for an incredible vanilla bean experience. Vanilla is more than just a pretty scent. The major constituent of vanilla beans, vanillin, is a powerful antioxidant that helps skin repair cell damage. Use daily as a delicious treat for your skin!
The health benefits of Vanilla can be attributed to its properties as an antioxidant, aphrodisiac, anticarcinogenic, febrifuge, antidepressant, sedative, tranquilizing and relaxing substance.
The antibacterial properties of vanilla make it beneficial for the treatment of acne. Vanillin, through its antibacterial effects, helps cleanse your skin, reducing the occurrence of pimples and acne.
Vanilla is rich in antioxidants which prevent and reverse skin damage caused by free radicals. It helps to slow down signs of ageing like fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. It is widely used in the cosmetic industry for its fragrance and anti-ageing benefits. Applying raw vanilla beans infused with organic oil imparts a great chocolaty fragrance besides making your skin smooth and soft.
Vanilla has been used as a traditional remedy to heal burns, wounds and cuts. Concentrated vanilla extracts or essential oil should not be applied directly on recent burns. Topical treatments containing vanilla extracts might be helpful. It is advisable to consult your doctor before using any such home remedies for burns.
Vanilla is a good source of B-vitamins like niacin, thiamin, Vitamin B6 and pantothenic acid which play an important role in the maintenance of healthy skin. The antioxidant properties of vanilla protect your skin from damage caused by environmental pollutants and toxins.

The vanilla plant is an herbaceous climbing vine which requires a supporting tree or pole for optimal growth. It bears trumpet-shaped flowers which are naturally pollinated by bees and humming birds and even hand pollinated. Unripe vanilla pods turn yellow when they grow 5 to 8 inches long and are ready to harvest. These are then blanched in boiling water, sweated and sun dried for a few weeks until they turn dark brown and wrinkled. Then the white crystalline essence known as vanillin is extracted from some superior quality beans. This essence is referred to as the vanilla flavor.
The most common form of vanilla is vanilla extract which is prepared by percolating chopped vanilla beans in ethyl alcohol and water for about 48 hours. The mixture is stored for several months and then filtered. Several varieties of vanilla are available in the market of which Madagascar vanilla is the most widely used. This rich sweet variety accounts for 75% of the vanilla production while the remaining comprises of vanilla from Tahiti and Mexico.
Vanilla pods contain several tiny black seeds which are used to flavor many sweet dishes and chocolates. Vanillin is the essence of vanilla bean but artificial vanillin is also produced on a large scale from wood pulp by-products. The vanilla flavoring is often a blend of pure and imitation vanilla. The appearance of tiny black specks in a vanilla flavored dish is an indication of pure vanilla.
Aloe Vera which is found within the leaves are used topically to treat burns & other ailments. Aloe is also known for its moisturizing properties. Cleopatra is rumored to have used it to keep her skin smooth & supple. It is believed that the combination of enzymes, amino & fatty acids, minerals, vitamins & other substances are what give aloe vera its healing properties! Storage?
