Malie Organics Jasmine Rose Beautify Facial Tonic is so simple, yet feels so indulgent. This pure floral water purifies skin for that extra clean feeling, while providing light hydration.
Made from distilled flower hydrosols and pure spring water from the slopes of Hawaii’s Haleakala volcano, this refreshing tonic encourages cell growth and collagen production. Healing jasmine (often used as a mood elevator) and rose (a natural anti-inflammatory that helps to soothe and calm dry, sensitive skin) provide gentle moisture and balance to tired, irritated skin.

Well, it finally feels like summer has really begun. With bathing suits, bare feet and less clothing a typical part of our daily lives, even the mind set changes. We crave cool fruity drinks, a quiet moment in the sun (or shade, whichever you prefer) and a sultry, musky scent. Ok, as for that last one, it may not be exactly what comes to mind when you conjure up a summer’s day. But Lavanila Pure Vanilla Healthy Fragrance ($56) is the perfect match for warm skin and relaxed living.
A blend of Madagascar vanilla, freesia petal, patchouli and heliotrope, the frangrance is made of pure essential oils. This delicious, slightly-spicy scent mellows when it soaks into the skin. Leaves you with a lovely, warm, natural fragrance that lasts all day.

In a country plagued by poor water quality and shortages across many regions, the company is keen to exploit high demand for pure bottled water. According to some estimates, as many as 1,600 Indians die every day as a result of water-borne diseases.
