Eye Balm | arnica + blue tansy

The aromatic chemical compound Chamazulene present in Blue tansy (Tanacetum Annum) essential oil, gives the beautiful blue hue to Woman Divine Eye Balm.

Besides its stunning deep blue colour and beautiful sweet, apple like aroma, Blue tansy essential oil is a rather impressive skin healer.


I included it in WD Eye Balm because it’s cooling and soothing, it reduces inflammation and helps to alleviate dark circles (I paired it with Arnica to help lighten darkness around the eyes).

The aroma of Blue tansy has a similar effect on the mind and spirit as it’s oil has on the skin. It’s soothing and calming and it helps to let go of the heated emotions that we experience.

I love making and using this formula very much!
It was created with the intention to address dehydration, fine lines, dark circles, and also to uplift your spirit.
My wish is that its texture, colour and aroma will invite a deeper connection with the self and healing plants every time you apply it.

Love and Light,

Magdalena

Saying goodbye to 363 Churchill.

On June 30th we said goodbye to our beautiful little studio at 363 Churchill.

This certainly is not what we’ve planned when we first got our little building in Westboro. We truly felt that it was going to be a forever home for WD Skin Care. And we loved our bright and peaceful space very very much! But hey, life is full of surprises as we’ve been learning over the past fifteen months.

Since it’s been fifteen months straight that we’re unable to see our clients in person, after much consideration and many tears we’ve decided to go with the flow, practice non-attachment and transition. Not an easy decision but it feels like a good one.

We’ll of course continue with our consultations and product formulating and we have a few new products on the horizon:) So nothing will change in that aspect of our offerings.

Our treatments however will begin only when there are no more lockdowns and we can open for good. We hope that this will happen in not too long because we miss you very much!

Like for every small business in Ontario, this past fifteen months has been challenging in so many ways. And it’s no longer sustainable to keep on waiting and hoping that we can open soon.

When there will be clarity and we’ll get a green light, we’ll set up the most beautiful space to welcome you back to our treatments again.

For now we will be moving into a transitional space (a minute away from where we are) which will allow us to continue with our skin care formulation and production.

We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continuous support and loving messages that you send us.
We could not be here without you! Since we never qualified for any government support, it is 100% thanks to you, that we are in business. We are looking forward to growing in new ways and bringing more meaning, more beauty and more health into your life!

Helichrysum in Skin Care

If I had to choose only one essential oil to work with for skin care purposes, hands down Helichrysum italicum would be the one. It is a powerful essential oil with an array of skin health benefits.

I have just written an article about Helichrysum itallicum (Imortelle) for The School of Aromatic Studies and you can read it HERE.

If you’d like to experience the action of Helichrysum italicum in skin care, I invite you to try WD Night with Imortelle. Is a beautiful night serum that deeply nourishes, restores and regenerates your skin while you sleep:) It contains both Helichrysum italicum essential oil and Helichrysum microphyllum herbal extract in the rich blend of plant ingredients.

I hope that you will enjoy my article and the Night with Imortelle Serum:)

Love and light,

Magdalena xo
