Our resolution this year is to focus on abundance. Too often we get caught up in the “shoulds” of New Years Resolutions (I should exercise more. I should eat less chocolate)—and the guilt that follows when you break them—that they start to feel less motivating and empowering and more like a trip to the dentist office. You know it’s good for you, but it sure isn’t fun. So we are dedicating 2013 to MORE. More fun. More time doing the things we love with the people we love. More time nurturing ourselves—body, mind and spirit. More quality time focused on the things that really matter. Now that’s a resolution we can get pumped about!

We’re lucky here at One Love Organics. Nurturing body, mind and spirit is something we talk about everyday. We recognize the power of the spa ritual to re-invigorate the spirit, soothe stressed nerves, and nurture the kind of resiliency and self love that allows us all to be a powerful force of good in the world. You know, when we aren’t discussing the Golden Globes red carpet (We loved all those elegant, plunging necklines!) or the instagram video (We admit, we’re guilty of more than one of these). Laughter is a pretty powerful force too!
Where were we? Oh yeah. The everyday spa ritual. So chances are you’ve got your skin care routine down to a science. Every pore is tended to. Every cell plump and moisturized. Your face is radiant and glowing. But the rest of your skin? Not so much. That’s why we developed our new Aromatic Body Serum collection. Now you can pamper every inch of your skin (and even your hair!) with a little love of its own.
Our Aromatic Body Serums deliver a mist of precious oils that intensely nourish the skin, leaving it refreshed, beautifully scented, and soft to the touch. Created especially for the body, these light yet decadent serums couple aromatherapy with potent natural actives in an emollient blend of organic plant oils, extracts and antioxidants.
NURTURE YOUR BODY
The spray application means you never get too much. Just spritz all over your body and massage into the skin. Or spritz once in your hand and stroke through the ends of your hair. During these cold winter months, we also like to spray them into running water for an aromatic and soothing bath.
Pumpkin Seed Oil
A natural source of salicylic acid, Pumpkin Seed Oil lightly exfoliates to refine and improve skin texture. With a high concentration of zinc, Omegas 3 & 6, and the carotenoid zeaxanthin, it also helps to increase hydration and improve skin elasticity. Antioxidant vitamins A and E help reduce transepidermal water loss and help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, leaving skin that appears brighter and evenly toned.
Elderberry Extract
We love the beautifying qualities of the super fruit, Elderberry. Elderberries are rich in a variety of phytonutrients that exhibit both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Antioxidants are excellent additions to skin care regimens as they provide protection from free radicals that contribute to aging and wrinkle formation. Elderberry is gently stimulating to the epidermis and is high in astringent tannins and bio-flavonoids, making it useful for skin firming and toning applications.
Red Rooibos Extract
Red Rooibos, an herb from South Africa, has been used for centuries to help keep the skin radiant and beautiful. The herb contains an abundant amount of nutrients, organic compounds and minerals in it that are beneficial to the skin. Rooibos is especially rich in the rock-star antioxidant compound quercetin, which helps to fight and neutralize free radicals (those nasty particles that are the main cause of premature aging). In addition, Quercetin has soothing anti-inflammatory properties and as such may be effective at soothing eczema, rashes and promoting wound healing. Like we said, rock star! Also found in Rooibos, alpha hydroxy acid and zinc are great for promoting smooth, bright and radiant skin. The herb also has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-septic, properties, which are all excellent for helping to treat skin discomforts such as sunburns, breakouts and rashes.
Supercritical Sea Buckthorn Oil
Supercritical Sea Buckthorn Oil nourishes and conditions the skin with a generous helping of rare and potent Omega-7. Seabuckthorn is also powerfully rich in vitamins A, C and E and phytonutrients carotenes and flavonoids which help nourish, revitalize, and restore the skin. It can effectively help to combat wrinkles, dryness and other symptoms of under nourished or prematurely aging skin.
NURTURE YOUR SPIRIT
These gorgeous, light scents stimulate the senses with an aromatherapy boost, without competing with your favorite perfume.
Loving and Open
Our best seller, Rose essential oil soothes, softens and hydrates the skin, while opening the heart to invite love in on all levels.
Happy and Energized
Neroli essential oil helps to balance and nourish the skin while promoting energy, playfulness and joy.
Calm and Collected
Chamomile essential oil helps to calm dry and stressed out skin, while comforting the spirit and boosting self-control.
Creative and Renewed
Lavender essential oil helps to ease tired muscles and soothe sensitive skin, while rejuvenating and inspiring the spirit.
Here’s to 2013! May this be a year filled with more love, more joy, more of what matters most. Share your resolutions or what you want more of this year in the comments. Let’s make this the best year yet!
