winter healthy skinWhile proper private label skincare spans all seasons, the emphasis on sun protection usually stays in the spring and summer months. And understandably so.

Don’t Forget Your Neck!

Chakra Clearing with Meditation and Essential Oils

Posted by Julia Sanders on 6/5/2013 to Aromatherapy
“Chakra” is an ancient Sanskrit word that means wheel, circle, or vortex. It is also an ancient term used to denote yantras and different nerve plexus in the body. In Hindu and Buddhist metaphysical tradition and other ancient and New Age belief systems, the term “chakras” combines these meanings to refer to the spinning, circular energy centers that correspond to vital points in the physical body. These chakras receive, express, and distribute pra?a, or life force energy, influencing and reflecting a person’s mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Healthy chakras are referred to as “clear” and “balanced” while unhealthy chakras are “blocked” and “out of balance.”

Thyme Essential Oil

Posted by Rain Shadow Labs on 2/11/2013 to Aromatherapy

Thyme essential oils have been used since the time of the Romans. This particular essential oil comes in two different forms: red thyme oil and white thyme oil. The cleansing properties of the naturally occurring phenols of the thyme oils make them excellent candidates for topical application in personal care products.

Hydrosol (Floral Water)

Posted by RainShadow Labs on 1/22/2013 to Health

Essential oils are extracted by heating plants to release their oils. This process causes the moisture in the plants to be released as well, in the form of steam. The steam that is left over from the essential oil distillation process can be condensed and used as a hydrosol, also known as floral water or flower water.

Hydrosols contain many of the same nutrients as essential oils do, but they are much less potent. There is about .02% essential oil in hydrosols. Because they are already diluted, hydrosols can used directly, without having to be mixed with a carrier. They can be applied topically or diffused through the air. They are very mild which makes them ideal for use with babies and children. They can also be very helpful because they are less likely to cause irritation.
