Ritual Cleansing Balm

Rose is the ultimate harmonizer of the skin and spirit.  Speaking directly to the heart, softening the hard edges, allowing us to feel more at peace.  Functionally the rich antioxidants limit cell damage and encourage regeneration.  Naturally, the petals are rich in moisturizing compounds making them a favorite for dry and sensitive skin.  We use a gorgeous hexane-free, organic extract that was developed specifically for aromatherapy rather than using common, less expensive absolute.  Setting the stage for this blend to truly be part of your personal ritual for reflection, expansive love, and connection with oneself.

St John’s Wort is wild-gathered by the Live Botanical team each summer.  Their unique compounds (which lend a lovely red hue) are best obtained via fresh flower extraction.  Within hours of harvest, the herb is placed into organic, golden jojoba oil to be infused over 2 moon cycles - capturing the essence for seasons to come. This process speaks so much to the magical aspect of this plant.  Known to strengthen your inner sun and sense of self. An embodiment of the summer solstice and a strong sense of vitality.  When left to dry, the vibrancy is diminished.  Functionally it’s noted for use on skin abrasions, wound protection and disinfection, rashes, muscle tightness, joint discomfort, and nerve pain.  It was specifically chosen for this formula as a cleanser for its unique acidifier quality.  Helps to balance the skin's pH and soothe irritation from cold-harsh winters.

Scoop a quarter-size of balm and massage onto dry skin. With deep breaths take in the warming sweet scent to quiet the mind. Hints of rose open the heart, guiding you to listen and acknowledge what may come up during your ritual.

Spend 1 minute massaging the skin, softly working the cleanser to the bottom of the neck; moving stagnant energy. Splash with water and massage to create a light milk. Once complete, rinse well with tepid water, removing excess with a damp cloth.

Can be used daily.
