Founded in 2000, Essencia Aromatics is a skin care system built on the use of essential oils along with nut and vegetable oils and butters which contain naturally occurring vitamins, minerals and fatty acids. These pure, beneficial, plant-based ingredients are used in combination with other botanicals, such as herbs, flower petals, oatmeal, almonds, and aloe, plus natural beeswax and honey. Essential oils are comprised of properties very similar to our own genetic make up and provide incredible benefits to the skin. Refining the art of aromatic skin care, Essencia uses only pure Essential Oils in combination with nut and vegetable oils and butters to create the basic formulation of each product. The absence of synthetic and petroleum based ingredients, which can have detrimental effects on the skin, assures that Essencia products provide maximum benefit. Essential oils are also excellent for reducing stress and anxiety, treating acne, soothing everyday discomforts and helping to promote overall wellness of the mind, body and soul.

Cranberry Hydrating Body Mist – This refreshing body mist is perfect for anytime. It is wonderful to spray on after you have been out in the sun. I tried it after gardening the other day (which gets pretty warm here in Florida) and it was so soothing and relaxing on my tight overheated skin. It reminded me of drinking lemonade on a really hot day. Makes ya go aaahhhhhhhhh. The cranberry extract and cranberry powder provide anti-oxidant, antibacterial and moisture-replenishing benefits to the skin.

Rose Geranium Body Butter – This body butter is absolutely luxurious and smells wonderful. I didn’t think I would like the smell much but I was wrong. The blend is very nice together. I have dry sensitive skin and it just soaked this stuff up and still felt great hours later with no greasy feeling to deal with like a lot of lotions out there.

Sweet Lavender Soaking Salts – This is without a doubt my favorite product that I tried from this line. OH MY….what a way to relax. The scent and the silkiness of the bath are incredible! Just add about a half cup into a tub of warm water and indulge. Save this one until right before you go to bed and you will sleep like a baby.

In addition to these great products that I sampled, Essencia also carries a line for men, one for babies and they offer wedding and spa packages. They also carry candles, products for the home and laundry products. You can visit their website at Essencia Aromatics
