The loofah sponge (Luffa Cylindrica),
contrary to popular belief, is a land plant, which resembles a cucumber
while still on the vine. Loofah is a sponge consisting of the fibrous skeleton
of the fruit of the loofah plant. These cleansing sponges gently exfoliate
your skin, removing dead cells, to reveal healthy new ones while improving
circulation of blood throughout the body. A mainstay in European spas and
Asian baths, these sponges are renowned for their natural ability to heal
your skin. Furthermore, we have developed, and continue to support the local
farming of this fruit. Traditionally, it is used as a vegetable in its younger
state, however, by developing a need for this fruit in its ripened state,
we have provided a substantial local cash crop; for that we are proud!
Rosemary essential oil (Rosmarinus Officinalis) From
100 pounds of rosemary in bloom will yield one pound of strong, clean
and potent rosemary essential oil. Its aroma is woodsy, herb-like, and
similar to lavender. The astringent and antiseptic properties of rosemary
oil stimulate tissue circulation, the metabolism of the skin, and lymph
flow. Rosemary oil plays an important role in stimulating cell renewal.
It improves dry or mature skin, eases lines and wrinkles, and heals burns
and wounds. It can also clear acne, blemishes or dull, dry skin by fighting
bacteria and regulating oil secretions. It improves circulation and can
reduce the appearance of broken capillaries and varicose veins. Rosemary
oil is also helpful in treating cellulite.
