It seems Germany has always been ahead of us in terms of placing value on the natural and the pure. Its not a fad, phase or new concept for them its simply their way of life. So it comes as no surprise that some of the great organic skin care geniuses have come from Germany and I’m genuinely excited to introduce you to yet another.
Amala (ah-mah-la) translates to “most pure” in Sanskrit, “revered mother” in Tibetan and “love her” in Spanish. This exclusive collection is for those seeking an intersection of luxury and purity. Ute Leube, creator and founder behind this pampering brand knows her ingredients, inside and out, backwards, forwards, up and down and has strong convictions about what is “responsible skin care”. She and business partner, Kurt L. Nübling are some of the world’s experts in the cultivation of organic botanicals and have been for the past 20+ years. Up until now, they’ve been known for their extensive and popular organic essential oil line (and anti-aging skin care), Primavera Life; which can be found throughout Europe in most drugstores and health food markets and scarcely available online in the U.S. This past May, Amala made its world debut in Singapore with great success and is currently only available in America in select upscale spas and online.

If you’ve experienced stress from work recently, and in this economy it is inevitable, then you may consider relaxing and unwinding with an aromatherapy massage. Our body holds tension and anxiety from stressful situations that massage will help you release, and replace with a feeling of peace and serenity.
To take relaxation one step further try adding aromatherapy. Here are a few amazing essential oil blends that will do the trick (below from right to left)~

Red Flower is an inspirational natural beauty care company that believes the tradition of bathing is deeply connected to nature. I’ve become quite intrigued with their blend selections and cleansing rituals. In a recent interview I asked:
1. What does the word “sustainability” mean to red flower? We all have different definitions, and honor and appreciate those organizations such as yours that are moving into a holistic healing approach to working and living. To Red Flower “Sustainability” means:
- sustainable sourcing locally.
- working with the lumber industry to use otherwise wasted material.
- producing at 100 percent wind powered plant.
- to use soy based inks, to use recycled and recyclable packages.
- to conserve water and energy.
- to meet the criteria of bio dynamic, bio compatible and bio degradable.
- to create petrochemical free, dye sulfate and paraben free products.
- to use whole essential oils and natural certified organic ingredients.
- to educate and learn.
- to stay on an ever evolving path.
- to consider the lifecycle of every product.
