Used to traveling to far-flung, global locales while touring with the band and long a fan of an organic lifestyle, Wood created this line to offer a collection of super luxurious body products that captures the spirit of the exotic places she’s been. Using only the highest grade & rare organic essential oils, plant extracts and essences, all the ingredients are wild-harvested, organic and sustainably sourced, with over 90% certified organic content. The products contain no water but instead use ultra filtered orange juice as a base to deliver extra antioxidant benefits to skin. She says, “My aim has always been to create something organic that’s also exquisitely beautiful. Every product has been made with love & care.” The entire collection is packaged in beautiful 1930’s style etched glass bottles that are eco-friendly as well as gorgeous.

Loaded with some of the world’s most rare, exotic and beautiful oils, the products reveal a depth and sophistication normally reserved for conventional body products & fragrances not to mention their product descriptions read like a great bottle of wine. “With a heart of Iranian Rose Otto, Egyptian Jasmine, Neroli & Bergamot, this is a fragrance of energy and spontaneity. Green Mandarin and sweet orange add a fresh, vibrant layer and the whole combination is grounded in a soft, spicy base of cedarwood.” Mmmmm … Bottle of Amka Body Dew, anyone?
