Bath and Body Oils

This is a simple, light, golden green oil that works equally well swirled in the bathwater or splashed on after a shower. For this blend I chose oils that would absorb quickly and easily yet still provide a good amount of nutrients and healing properties. Something that could be used everyday. This oil blend is good for all skin types. It is gentle and soothing. The properties of Greenessences's oils and essential oils work together with the natural processes of your cells to make sure your skin gets hydrated, fed and protected all in one simple application. It is an easy, pleasant practice which, over time, will bring your skin to it's healthiest natural state.

• Grapeseed oil - is a rich green oil full of chlorophyll, essential fatty acids, vitamins and powerful antioxidants. It is a lightweight, penetrating, oil made from the seeds of winegrapes after the wine has been pressed. Since it is slightly astringent, it tightens and tones the skin and will not aggravate acne. It is a good oil for people with sensitive skins.
• Rice Bran Oil - contains the highest amount of natural vitamin E in liquid form of any oil. It also contains proanthrocyanidins, which protect collagen and elastin. Rice Bran Oil is one of the most gentle oils around which makes it perfect for eye creams, baby products and light facial and body moisturizers for all skin types. In this case it is infused with organic calendula flowers long known for their soothing and healing benefits to the skin.
• Meadowfoam Seed Oil - is prized for it's moisturizing and rejuvenating abilities. It carries high levels of natural vitamin E and EFA's. It helps to keep the skin hydrated by working with the processes of the skin to produce a barrier that prevents moisture from being lost. Meadowfoam seed oil also serves to benefit the environment by offering an alternative to sperm whale oil and by providing a renewable crop to for NW farmers to use in their crop rotation bringing them extra income and eliminating the need to burn fields between grass seed plantings.

The essential oils in this blend were chosen especially for their beneficial qualities to the skin and the effect of their combined fragrances on the senses.
