To make best organic skin care
formulations, Herbally Radiant uses a combination of Essential Oils (EOs). Also
known as volatile oils, the EOs are distilled, or pressed from plants, flowers,
or food. Their fragrance travels through our nose into our breathing and
eventually goes into our bloodstream. Their scent travels along a neurological
pathway, bypassing the blood-brain barrier, and thus stimulating
neurotransmitter production.
Humans are said to have an
estimated ten million cells for detecting scents, for which nose is the gateway
to the brain. Our sense of smell is our most primitive sense; what we smell
affects our health and consciousness.
The EOs derived from flowers,
plants, resins and roots, are the basic life force of organic flowers and
plants, and are very effective in helping increase circulation and promote new
cell growth, while eliminating toxins. As antispasmodic, analgesic,
antibacterial, antiseptic, astringent, chologogue, febrifuge, sudorific,
antidepressant, deodorant, anti-inflammatory, their therapeutic effect on body,
mind and spirit is amazing, creating a calming and soothing effect, so helpful
in organic beauty care.
The tiny aromatic molecules of EOs
are liposoluble, and are able to penetrate the skin and travel through the
bloodstream and interstitial fluids. These act quickly and are eliminated from
the system within three to six hours. In breathing, these enter through the
Cillia (the fine hairs lining the nose) to the limbic system which, when
stimulated, releases endorphins, neurotransmitters and other 'feel-good'
chemicals. These control our moods, emotions, state of skin and general
appearance, memory and learning, heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, stress
levels and hormonal balance. That is why EOs have such a powerful effect on our
state of mind. Stress-free mind is essential for good health as well as for
maintaining well hydrated , revitalized, wrinkle-free and shining skin.
Because of their special
regenerative and healing properties, EOs
have been used very effectively for centuries to improve skin tone, reduce
inflammation, increase blood circulation, relieve tension, stress and
headaches, regulate hormones, relax muscles, stimulate the immune system and
energize the whole system.
It requires special expertise and
experience to choose most effective EOs in right proportion to make best beauty
products. The procedure is meant to assist natural ability of skin to balance,
regulate, heal and restore its natural glow. These penetrate skin via hair
follicles and sweat glands, and get absorbed in body fluids. Minute molecules
of EOs are immediately absorbed into the blood stream when inhaled as the drugs
oxygenate the blood.
The mixing of EOs and base oil is
done in incremental steps by professionally trained and experienced experts at
Herbally Radiant. They ensure right blend of EOs with most compatible base or
carrier oil. The special combination of EOs used in its anti-aging formulations
thus create amazing longer lasting results.
In order to come out with the
most effective skin-friendly formulations for sensitive skin disorders like
acne, pimples, black spots and other break outs, the experts at Herbally
Radiant experimented with Tea Tree EO, combining it with other ingredients.
This led to the launching of exclusive CLEAN range, consisting of Cleanser,Toner, Serum and Scrub. The unique CLEAN range formulations have received excellent customer reviews; for those
ordering on line (shop.herballyradiant.com), shipping is free.
Different EOs are used in facial
and body treatments, and different skin types react differently to EOs. Following
are some useful tips :
1) Extra
care should be taken in use of EOs during pregnancy.
2) Should
be kept out of the reach of children.
3) EOs
should be stored away from light, heat, plastics and metals. Some oils can
stain clothing and damage the finish on furniture.
4) EOs
are expensive; this has led to a great deal of counterfeiting by unscrupulous
suppliers, especially operating through online. Many suppliers are diluting
oils with synthetic elements.
5) If
you put a drop of EO on a scrap of paper and find that oil stain is still
apparent two hours later, then be sure that it may have been diluted with
vegetable oils.
6) Those
with high blood pressure should avoid following EOs: Hyssop, Rosemary, Sage and
Thyme.
