A blend of Frankincense, Myrrh, and Rose Oil, designed to nurture
mature skin and mature spirits. What started out as a holiday
blend, to celebrate the gifts of the Magi, has turned into a series
of skincare products to give your skin a youthful glow while
enriching and uplifting any woman's spirits.
A few months ago one of our suppliers sent me some samples of creams,
lotions, cleansers, etc. Of course I had to play! Some were
delightful, some were not for me. One I fell in love with. A rich,
gentle, botanical based wash off cream cleanser that just made my face
feel silky smooth and just glow! The
formulator makes all sorts of wonderful claims about its power to
restore and rejuvenate youthful skin. I don't. I just like the way it makes my face
feel. About six weeks later I was at a lunch time meeting with a
group of women who have known me for years. One of them is a consultant
for a well known makeup company, so she is very aware of skincare and
appearances. She started raving about how wonderful my skin
looked. The only difference was the cleanser I had been using.
So, I shared the sample with our staff. And we started to play. We have lavished
the basic cleanser with the anti-aging essential oils
of our Cleopatra's Secret products. For more information, as well as a
complete list of ingredients, click here.
Ideal for those of you who find even our gentlest Goatsmilk soaps a
bit drying for facial use. Packaged in a four oz Malibu jar for your
convenience. Simply squeeze a dollop into your palm, apply to your
face. Moisten your hands and gently massage in. Remove with a
washcloth moistened in warm water and feel your skin glow!
(Our first client feedback about the new Cleanser came from Eve
Bashoff, who wrote " I love the cleanser and could see
and feel an immediate difference in my skin.")
You've raved about the anti-aging effects of our Cleopatra's
Secret line of products, especially our newCreme Cleanser.
But, after rinsing off the cleanser, many of us like a toner.
Nature's Gift to the rescue!
We blended our favorite mature skin hydrosols -
Frankincense, Rose, Cistus, and then I started playing.
I added some water soluble hydrolized oats to
leave a soft, velvety feel on the skin. Studies have shown that
hydrolyzed oats retain significantly more moisture no matter
what the humidity, and gain up to 50% more moisture at relative
low humidity when extra moisture is most needed. We also added
Olive Leaf Extract - a blend of bioflavonoids
and polyphenols that have anti-oxidant qualities and function as
free radical scavengers. For product safety, we added a proven,
paraben free preservative.
This toner leaves mature skin feeling velvety soft with a
youthful glow.
Great to use any time, but I love it in the morning...I've
cleansed my face at bedtime, how dirty can it be? A spritz of our
Toner on a cotton ball leaves me feeling ready to face the world.
We've been asked for this, and have been experimenting as the
ingredients arrived. Based on my beloved Organic Argan oil,
with Organic Marula for extra quick absorbency, Squalane for
protection against transdermal water loss, anti-oxidant rich Organic
Pomegranate CO2, age defying Borage, Evening Primrose and Organic
Rose Hip Seed cold pressed oils. Then, to the most age defying
carrier blend we could concoct we started adding more goodies.
Seabuckthorn Berry CO2 and Rose Hip CO2 extractions, the secret of
our popular "Mature Skin Elixir" and, of course, our Cleopatra's Secret
synergy, rich with anti-aging Frankincense, Myrrh and Rose essential
oils. Carrot Seed, the most effective essential oil for wrinkle
reducing. And a dollop more rose, just because.
Measure just a drop or two with the dropper cap. Pat gently onto
areas which could use rejuvenating. Absorbs in seconds, leaving skin
soft and glowing. (For an even better treat, mist your face
with a spritz of our Cleopatra's Secret Toner, and apply the Serum
while the skin is still barely moist.)
There's a story behind the development of our Bliss Bath. It was concocted
during a time when I had to do something to nurture and take care of myself, of my spirit. One of
these things became a nightly ritual...a warm bath, beeswax candles, soft music,
and oils to sooth my spirit in the bath. Bath salts weren't the answer for me...my
more than mature skin finds salts too drying. I needed a bath oil, but they
float on top of the water and feel greasy, not soft and nourishing.
I experimented with a friend's formula for a "blooming bath powder"...and thus
our Bliss Bath was born. A container of powder, magically concealing
nourishing, rich Jojoba oil, with the rare Cleopatra's Secret Essential Oils added with a generous
hand. Add a scoop of this magical mixture to the tub as it fills...the
powder dissolves, dispersing the moisturizing jojoba, and the silky soft powder
throughout the water, so that every inch of your skin is caressed with its
silken touch. The Essential Oils soothe and nurture both the skin and the spirit.
You leave the bath with your skin feeling soft and silky, your spirit rested and
restored.
This feather light powdered balm is tightly packed in a PET
bail jar (for safety), so you can
securely seal it to keep moisture out. We are legally required to sell it by
weight; it weighs only 2 and 1/2 ounces. But
it fills a 16 ounce jar. One
container will give you between 15 and 30 blissful baths, depending on how
extravagant you are with it.
For those who simply don't have time to luxuriate in a Bliss Bath, we have
designed our moisturizing Shower Gel. A gentle blend of saponified organic
carrier oils,
enriched with extra glycerin to leave your skin soft and moisturized. We blend
in a generous amount of our Cleopatra's Synergy (Frankincense, Myrrh, and true Rose Otto) to moisten and condition mature skin. What a wonderful way to start or
end the day!
All new - travel / gift sizes of our favorite mature skincare goodies:
For her face we offer two ounces of our Cleopatra's Secret Creme
Cleanser, and a one ounce spritzer of our refreshing Cleo's Secret
Toner. For the bath or shower - two ounces of
Cleopatra's Secret Shower Gel, and two packets of Cleopatra's Secret
Bliss Bath - when her travels allow her to relax long enough for a
luxurious bath. We've tucked in an extra gift... a "stretchy" microfiber spa head
band to protect her hair while rejuvenating her skin.
