WATERLESS SKINCARE
Ever heard the saying the saying that water and oil don't mix?
Well it's not true. This is how all creams and lotions are created! However, when you do whip up plant matter with water, things naturally start to decompose. Hence the common use of preservatives.
By removing H2O from all our bottles (except a SPRITZ designed to dampen the skin) and using only organic oils, clays, butters and salts, we don't need to add any preservatives. Meaning that you get a completely toxin free experience (isnt that what bathing should be?!)
So let us let you into the fact that you can keep the water, and the botanicals separate until they are on your skin! Water does open up pores and hair and nail cuticles. Applying oils and balms to damp skin increases lipid absorption, and as skin dries, locks in the hydration.
Hydralats are made during the process of creating essential oils - it is the distilled water left behind, infused with all the botanical goodness of the plants or herb that has been used.
(For HydraSOL we use a combination of Rose & Immortelle hydrolats which are both soothing and regenerating.)
Misting this onto skin gently tones and preps skin for the application of your chosen oil, enabling this to emulsify and be drawn into the skin, locking additional hydration into the dermis.
Using our oils on damp skin, leaves skin super soft, hydrated and replenished, with zero toxic load.
