Summer is here!
What are your plans? Are you off to the lake for a weekend of camping, or are you visiting your family cottage? Do you have some hiking or a road trip planned?
Wherever your summertime adventures take you, they can be blissfully infused with the incredible healing power of plants by adding a few #SajeEssentials to your duffel bag.
Skin and body care don’t have to be a boring routine performed simply to fulfill the need to bathe and care for your skin. You can elevate any every-day, seemingly mundane experience by using essential oils. The lovely aroma of a moisturizer or other body care product containing compounds that heal, boost, and regenerate while inducing happiness as a wonderful side benefit, can be part of what you do to experience radiant wellness this summer.
Exotic Deodorant: all Saje deodorants use Potassium Alum, a naturally occurring mineral salt that kills odour-causing bacteria. Exotic Deodorant is a liquid deodorant, containing a blissfully “scent-sual” blend of as the name suggests, exotic and bacteria-busting essential oils blended with mineral salts and water. Because it won’t stain clothes, Exotic can be spritzed onto clothing as well. What’s awesome about this blend is that the more exotic aphrodisiac oils such as champa, rosewood, vanilla, and sandalwood also make us happy!
Shaver Saver: formulated by Saje Co-Founder Kate Ross LeBlanc to combat razor bumps, irritation, and dry skin, don’t judge this small, neutral looking product by its appearance! Richly moisturizing coconut oil, beeswax, jojoba and hemp combined with soothing, anti-inflammatory calendula, chamomile, and lavender make this an amazing aftershave and moisturizer. The addition of tea tree and patchouli keep vulnerable skin free from bacteria. Because of the versatility of these ingredients, Shaver Saver is an awesome cuticle salve, hair wax, foot balm, massage bar, and the list goes on! It’s fantastic to travel with because it can play the role of so many different body care products, while keeping the skin richly moisturized after exposure to summer sun.
Konjac Care – aloe: the incredible healing power of plants is present even in the konjac sponge. Made from vegetable starch and infused with soothing aloe vera, the textured surface of this sponge gently exfoliates the skin, loosening any debris on the surface. Wash your face with or without cleanser using konjac care aloe. Small and light, it’s ideal for travel and is good for about 100 washes or 3 months. When you are finished with it, back to the earth it goes; it’s completely compostable!
Sentiva: one of Saje Co-Founder Jean-Pierre LeBlanc’s favourite lotions, Sentiva contains a soft and sweet blend of gentle floral essential oils. Perfect for summer, this lotion contains pea starch, which leaves a gorgeous, smooth matte finish once it’s absorbed. Awesome for all skin types, including irritated skin and conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis, the whole family can use this gentle moisturizer.
Coconut Kiss Body Scrub: summertime activities include being in nature and getting mucky, so a little scrub now and again can be more than just practical. Coconut Kiss is a richly delicious exfoliating blend of coconut, coffee, and chocolate. It can be used in the bath or shower, or simply as a foot scrub. As a side benefit, detoxifying coffee helps draw impurities out of the pores so if you indulged last night, not to worry! Using this scrub along with other essential oil blends will help to keep you cleansed, both inside and out!
Making that checklist of what to pack for your summertime travels just got easier: add some or all of these multi-functional, practical, easy to use, aromatic products to add 100% natural to your vacation or weekend away!
Summertime bliss, here we come!
