Frame; The guide to Herbivore

What comes to mind when you hear ‘Herbivore’ or ‘Botanicals’?
…and just like that, the image of gentle animals feeding on green plants, nourishing their bodies with the earth’s pure natural elements.

From their humbled Seattle Kitchen in 2011, Julia Wills and Alexander Kummerow founded Herbivore Botanicals. With the intentions of using Mother Earth’s powerfully raw natural materials for an enjoyable and luxurious skin care ritual; that will rejuvenate and give you that little bit of indulgence you deserve, using pure and concentrated formulas to combine: essential vitamins, minerals, and botanicals, alongside the prestige French Pink Clay to Brazilian gemstones. Which seems too good to be true, Herbivore Botanicals simply provides organic, high quality and food gradable products that will be essential to your skin care and cosmetic regimen (if they aren’t already)!

So you’ve been busy all day, and just can’t wait to get all the gunk off that’s accumulated on your face throughout the day? Then begin your evening skin care routine with Pink Clay Cleansing Bar Soap. Using Pink Clay is not only perfect for improving your skin’s elasticity, but with its Iron Oxide and Silica properties will prove to renew, rejuvenate and regenerate your skin tissues and cells. Infused in the cleansing bar is Geranium and Blood Orange Essential Oils, that not only balances dry, combination and oily skin types, but will also detoxify and maintain your healthy and smooth skin.

If the Pink Clay Cleansing Bar Soap wasn’t enough, then give Pink Clay Exfoliating Mask a go! With its key ingredients of French Pink Clay that is ideal for its detoxifying benefits, Rose-hip – with its rejuvenation and retinoid acid properties that help to prevent premature ageing, and Chamomile Flower that will naturally sooth and de-puff inflamed skin. With all these ingredients combined, the magical wonder that is this exfoliating mask, will not only leave your skin looking and feeling brighter, softer and more radiant!

And whilst you’re letting that exfoliating mask work its magic, why not go the extra mile and indulge yourself with Herbivore’s Calm Soak Salts. So you heard that Himalayan Pink Salts are truly the best kind for your cooking, well it’s also the best for its detoxifying qualities. Himalayan Pink Salts are mineral-rich for your body to absorb the extra dose of Magnesium, Selenium, Zinc and Iron. In addition to the fragrances of Vanilla and Ylang Ylang Essential Oils, with their intoxicating combination, will your body and mind be truly calmed and soothed.

So you’re done with cleansing and exfoliating your skin? Then continue on with MOON FRUIT Superfruit Night Treatment that will deeply hydrate your skin with Superfruits of: Prickly Pear, Goji Berry and Red Raspberry Seed which are essential nutrients to repair daytime sun exposures and signs of ageing, as well as the fruit enzymes of: Papaya, Lemon, Sugar Cane, Orange, Bilberry, Cranberry and Maple. Fruit Enzymes are key to unclogging pores, softening, exfoliating, smoothing and regenerating all skin types. The blends of Kokum and Shea Butter and vegan Hyaluronic Acid deeply hydrate and lock moisture into your skin.

The treatment is not advised to sit on your skin, but to be massaged deeply for optimal results, and to give the extra time you deserve to treat you and your skin right! And as a bonus, the treatment is naturally pastel purple in colour, blended with natural Indigo Root Powder, Manganese Violet as well as Ultramarine which add to the extra anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. So don’t panic if your face seems to have a purple tint to it. That’s just the natural butters working its wonders! And to impress you further, the treatment can be used during the daytime, but make sure to use the highest SPF (minimum 30SPF) cream you’ve got to keep you protected at all times!

Finally, end your routine like a phoenix that has risen from the ashes using the Phoenix Facial Oil. Consisting of Rose-hip and Sea Buckthorn Oils which are rich in Omega 3,6 and 9 for skin regeneration and repair, as well as Vitamin A that will penetrate into the skin and revitalise from within. The CoQ10 is a substance that naturally produces biological energy in the cells to boost collagen production, which is produced significantly less past the age of 30. The addition of Chia Seed Co2, will also increase the natural glow, as well as reduce the inflammation of your skin. Finally, Meadow-foam and Neroli Oils are also significant in softening the appearance of wrinkles, veins and capillaries, and act to form a protective lipid barrier to help preserve the oils, moisture and vitamins in your skin.
