Monoï de Tahiti by Helan- A year-round tropical escape



Over thirty years ago, Italian cosmetic company Helan set out to create natural beauty products rooted in genuine, time-honored traditions. Today, Helan offers a wide variety of collections, all of which are made from only the purest ingredients like plant oils, extracts, essences, honeys, and scented waters. By combining the best of nature with cutting-edge technology, Helan creates effective, eco-conscious products that impart a total sense of well-being.

The Helan Monoï de Tahiti line is no exception. This head-to-toe collection is infused with the intoxicating aroma of restorative monoï oil. Tahitians have been using monoï, or “scented oil” as it’s translated, for centuries to soften, nourish, and protect their skin and hair. The production of Monoï de Tahiti oil begins with the Tiare flower, a Tahitian gardenia. The flower is ground up and immersed in refined coconut oil for at least ten days, slowly infusing the oil with the flower’s powerful nutrients and lush scent.

The Helan Monoï de Tahiti collection is further enriched with tamanu oil, which is obtained from a Polynesian tree found close to the sea and coral reefs. Rich in fatty acids, tamanu oil has been a longtime Tahitian remedy for wind and sun damage and has amazing age-delay benefits.

The result of this time-honored combination? An ultra-conditioning potion with a transportive scent that perfectly captures the serenity of a tropical oasis. Experience this vacation-in-a-bottle with these monoï-rich treats for skin and hair:

• Scented Bath & Shower Gel ($22) A gentle cleanser for the hair and body that uses natural cleansing agents to wash away impurities without stripping away moisture.
• After Bath & After Sun Body Milk Cream ($36) A fast-absorbing, moisturizer that smoothes dry patches, leaving skin soft and silky. Aloe vera further helps to soothe irritations.
• Scented Body Mist ($24) A refreshing, alcohol-free fragrance that leaves behind the lush scent of monoï.
• Hair Oil Protective Treatment ($35) A nourishing oil that protects color and hydrates damaged hair. It creates a protective barrier over each strand, sealing out environmental damage.

Monoï de Tahiti is available for purchase at www.lushoasis.com.

Introducing Acorelle Organic Eau de Parfums:
A collection of aromatherapeutic fine fragrances

Announcing the US launch of Acorelle Eau de Parfums, one of the first Ecocert-certified organic fragrance collections. Only the purest ingredients were used to develop these fine fragrances, including organic wheat alcohol, floral water, plant extracts, and essential oils harvested from organic blossoms and fruits.

Acorelle’s organic fragrances allow even the most sensitive to experience pure, rich scents minus synthetic fragrances or chemicals. Not only can these man-made elements be harmful and irritating, but they also work against your body’s natural chemistry, blocking a perfume from fully evolving on the skin. Acorelle’s organic fragrances work in synergy with your body’s chemistry, creating a uniquely stunning scent.

The collection calls upon the mood-enhancing benefits of aromatherapy and includes six eau de parfums.

• Wheat Almond: A revitalizing blend of bitter almond, ylang ylang, and apricot strengthens your natural defenses to ward off oncoming sickness.
• Tea Garden: Bright notes of lemon, mint, violet, and patchouli work together to stimulate your nervous system for a jolt of energy.
• Wild Berries: A cheery scent that lifts your spirits when troubles arise. Geranium, sandalwood, cardamom, and rose offer an instant pick-me-up.
• White Orchid: Alleviate stress and anxiety with this calming blend of sandalwood, orange, vanilla, pear leaf, hawthorn, and patchouli.
• Bamboo Lotus: A relaxing mix of bergamot, tangerine, orange blossom, and cedar that promotes a good night’s sleep.
• Citrus Verbena: Soothing notes of petitgrain, litsea (an evergreen tree), cedar, and neroli have a calming effect on the senses.


Each fragrance retails for $68 and will be available to purchase April 1 at www.lushoasis.com.
