I would like to tell you a little bit about one of the ingredients in Woman Divine Body Balm | cardamom + rose.
This is a beautiful balm with a wonderful texture and a luxurious scent profile. Many clients love it especially during winter months as it provides effective nourishment for dry skin and and its aroma brings comfort.
At the end of its ingredient list you’ll find a very special essential oil. I added only a tiny bit of Jatamansi to complete this formula because it’s very potent.
Jatamansi (Nardostachys jatamansi) has a very special effect on the nervous system, supporting those experiencing insomnia, anxiety, an over-active mind, mental fatigue, depression, panic disorders… it’s generally grounding and calming. And it is said to be one of the most important herbal medicines to help with the healing of grief.
I felt that it was a perfect addition to rose, cardamom and yang-ylang which along with an amazing effect on the skin, also lend their gentle nervous system healing properties to this body focused formula.
Jatamansi usually grows at an altitude of 3000–5000 meters. It can be found in Nepal, India and China. I favour the oil coming from Nepal:)
Pure essential oil of Jatamansi has a very strong aroma. Since it comes from the valerianacea family, we can’t really refer to its aroma as pretty:). Instead it offers a scent of the earth found in the high altitude forests of Nepal.
Jatamansi, also known as Spikenard, has a long history of use for spiritual purposes and until today it is used in religious ceremonies. Ayurveda also uses Jatamansi to improve skin complexion. .
We are grateful to Jatamasi for enriching our Body Balm | cardamom + rose on so many levels❤️
Woman Divine online store is live!!!
It was one of my goals for 2016 to create the online store. I barely made it:) but it’s finally here:
This is very exciting for me and I hope that it will make it easier for you to purchase Woman Divine handcrafted skin care products.
Working solo is a beautiful thing but I can appreciate that buying products from me until now might have seemed a little bit like buying illegal drugs…:) You leave your money in a special envelope, I leave your merchandise in a special place…:) Thank you for being so understanding and easy going about this! I truly appreciate it!
As you know, my company is small, very small:) but I do want to make a difference. Making high quality organic skin care accessible to all women who want to live a healthy life with a healthy glow is my priority.
I make this happen by selling directly to you. There are no middlemen, and no need to inflate my prices. Woman Divine products are available only through my online shop and the studio.
I handcraft these organic plant based products to inspire you to take loving care of yourself and to bring more beauty and health into your life. I believe that using them should be your everyday practice, and not just a luxury.
With the new store come a few changes and I would like to tell you about them.
1) New labels, new look. Woman Divine skin care products got a fresh, clean and modern look. I hope that you will like it. In the process some products got renamed. Here it goes:
Face Serum / restorative blend is now Face Serum rose + sandalwood
Regenerating Face Oil is now Face Oil frankincense + camellia
Rose Hydrosol changed to Rosewater Mist
2) We have a few new products:
Face Serum fennel + primrose / to keep our skin nice and tight and to give it some luster
Face Oil calendula + chamomile / for sensitive and delicate skin / with our local organic herbs and sunflower oil as part of the blend
Body Oil jasmine + tuberose / a beautiful hydrating oil with a lovely sweet scent
Lip Balm argan + orange / my lip balms are really lovely:)
I am working on new products, which will be created, around our local organic herbs… good stuff coming in the future.
3) Your Woman Divine products can always be purchased during your visits.
When purchasing online you have a choice to have products delivered to you or to pick them up at the studio. All the details about purchases, shipping and such can be found on the customer care page of my website: www.womandivine.ca/customer-care
