It's your body so why not treat your skin with Botanical Essence?

You use them every day, but do you know what is in your skin care products? Before you stock up on new lotions and potions to shake off dull winter skin, take a good look at what you are using. Aura Cacia - pure botanical essence™ believes that what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in it. Aura Cacia's brand new body washes, body lotions and hand care products not only use natural ingredients derived from plants to moisturize and soften dry skin, they offer effective benefits that nourish your whole body, mind and spirit.

If you're serious about your skin, aim for purity in the products you buy. Aura Cacia uses 100 percent pure botanical essences that smell fantastic and deliver therapeutic benefits. Whether inhaled or absorbed through the skin, these natural ingredients, including essential oils, trigger a wide range of specific benefits that conventional skin care products simply can't replicate.

Calm Yourself
Aura Cacia's new Calm Aromatherapy Body Wash and Calm Aromatherapy Body Lotion combine lavender and wild chamomile essential oils to quiet the mind and calm the spirit.

• The pure botanical essence in Calm Body Wash creates a gentle lather with oat proteins. Dirt and impurities are gently lifted away without stripping skin. Dry, chapped skin is soothed to leave you feeling clean, refreshed and balanced.
• Calm Body Lotion protects tender skin with high levels of Carrageenan, an ocean plant that retains moisture for hours. Quickly absorbed, our body lotion keeps skin moist without leaving a greasy residue.
  A Renewed You

Aura Cacia's new Renew Body Wash and Renew Body Lotion contain pure sweet orange and jasmine essential oils to rejuvenate the mind and restore the spirit.

• The gently exfoliating pumice and jojoba beads in our Renew Body Wash help to reveal smoother-looking skin, while a deep-cleaning lather washes away dirt and impurities. Carrot seed oil nurtures the skin while grapeseed oil adds a toning action. It's ideal for reviving a weary spirit.
• Revitalize your skin with almond oil, vitamins E and A, and oils of jasmine, carrot seed, sweet orange, petitgrain and ylang ylang. Renew Body Lotion protects dry skin as it renews it, moisturizing with pure, natural ingredients that vitalize the mind.
  Calm and Renew Body Wash is available in 8 oz bottles. Calm and Renew Body Lotion is available in 8 oz. and 32oz. bottles.
  Hand It to Nature

Aura Cacia's new gentle hand products are safe for the whole family to use. They contain all natural plant ingredients and an aromatherapy blend of 100 percent pure essential oils.

• Clarify Aromatherapy Hand Wash contains the anti-bacterial properties of bee propolis. Tea tree and blue cypress oils get hands completely clean, while vitamin E protects and moisturizes so that skin does not dry out with repeated washing. Grapefruit and coriander essential oils promote a fresh, healthy feeling that clarifies thoughts and opens the spirit.
• With high levels of Carrageenan and almond oil, Clarify Aromatherapy Hand Lotion is absorbed into the skin quickly. Vitamins A, B, B2, C, E, K, P, plus iron and copper, help to protect and heal damaged skin.
  

Clarify Aromatherapy Hand Wash is available in 8oz. bottles. Clarify Aromatherapy Hand Lotion is available in 4 oz and 8 oz tubes.
