As you might guess, I am pretty passionate about aromatherapy based products. So when I put the word out I was doing reviews, I was pretty excited to give these products a try.
I had heard only good things about this little company through friends, so when Ravissant creator, Barb Mowder dropped by the Chrysalides House Gallery, to drop off some samples, we had a lovely chat about the beauty of essential oils and a need for gentle alternative products in the market.
She has a nice fresh looking website, and offers this info to the reader:
Lavender Essential Oils have been known to:
• Be used as a bug repellent
• Help with sleep/insomnia
• Benefit the nervous system
• Treat acne and general skin care
• Relieve sore muscles
• Improve urinary disorders
• Improve respiratory disorders
• Aid in blood circulation
• Aid in digestion
• Aid with immune system
• As general skin care
Geranium Essential Oils have been known to:
• Balance hormonesI really love how she includes a warning, essential oils have their place but are not benign. They affect our bodies! And should be used with some investigation first.
• Be used as an astringent
• Relieve stress and depression
• Reduce inflammation and irritation
• Improve the health of the skin
• Alleviate the effects of menopause
• Improve circulation
• Benefit dental health
• Boost kidney health
• Reduce blood pressure.
Note that not all essential oils are for everyone, especially if you are pregnant. Make sure you do some research into specific essential oils before application. In some circumstances, it's best to steer clear of essential oils altogether. It is recommended that you consult your doctor prior to use of any essential oils if:
• you have a history of miscarriage
• you have had any bleeding during pregnancy
• you have epilepsy
• you have heart problems
• you have diabetes, blood clotting problems, or have thyroid, liver or kidney disease.
It's also an indication that there is a nice amount of EO's in her products for you to benefit from!
Also important to note: Her products are Paraben Free, Gluten Free & SLS Free.
So the product review....
The Ravissante Body Butter in Lavender is pretty great! She's not kidding when she says BUTTER!
As it should be, it's super thick, so a little goes a long way. It's not at all greasy and soaks in SUPER fast.
I started using it on my feet regularly and my heels have gone from a dry wasteland to fresh and supple! The smell is great and smells like pure lavender essential oil should.
Because this butter is so thick, it won't spread over large areas easily, but just start on the driest parts then rub outward and it will get the job done!
Both the lip balms were really nice and gently flavoured and I was happy to use them daily for my dry lips.
The quality and effort put into these products are apparent, I would give them a try if you are looking for something soothing and gentle to pamper those rough patches!
The lavender body butter is $23.99 and the lip balms are $5.99.
